Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nondestructive testing technology, specifically a handheld nondestructive testing machine. Background Technology
[0002] The GUT36 ultrasonic flaw detector for pipe weld inspection is a non-destructive testing method that inspects the surface and internal quality of components without damaging the workpiece or raw materials. While there are many types of flaw detectors, the pulse-echo ultrasonic flaw detector is the most widely used in actual flaw detection processes. Generally, in homogeneous materials, the presence of defects causes discontinuities, which often lead to inconsistencies in acoustic impedance. According to the reflection theorem, ultrasonic waves will be reflected at the interface between two media with different acoustic impedances. The magnitude of the reflected energy depends on the difference in acoustic impedance between the two media at the interface and the orientation and size of the interface. The pulse-echo ultrasonic flaw detector is designed based on this principle. However, when using the GUT36 ultrasonic flaw detector for pipe weld inspection, one hand needs to hold the main unit and the other hand holds the ultrasonic probe. This requires the user to operate the main unit, which necessitates using the fingers of the hand holding the main unit, resulting in inconvenience. Utility Model Content
