Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal pipe inspection technology, and specifically to a device for inspecting the outer wall of metal pipes. Background Technology
[0002] In engineering inspection, manual ultrasonic metal detectors are usually used to inspect metal pipes. Manual ultrasonic metal detectors are generally used to inspect the thickness, cracks, slag inclusions, and porosity of metal pipes. When inspecting the outer circumference of the pipe, the detection probe needs to be pointed towards the metal pipe and then rotated around the axis of the metal pipe for inspection.
[0003] In the prior art, the metal pipe needs to be fixed and the detection device needs to be installed on a rotatable structure. When the pipe is being detected, the clamping device blocks most of the area at both ends of the metal pipe. The rotating detection device needs to be powered by a battery and a wireless information transmission module needs to be installed, which makes the work efficiency low. Therefore, this device provides a metal pipe outer wall detection device. Utility Model Content
