Dual PA-Sector Scan

(Angle Beam Technique)

PA-Linear Scan + TOFD

(Straight Beam Technique)

Characteristic of Our Automatic UT System

(1) Simultaneous Acquisition and Analysis of Flaws by Phased Array
(Sector Scan or Linear Scan) and Dual-TOFD with High Speed Scanning
(2) Dual TOFD means to do 2 kinds of Set-up Condition at Same Time.
(3) Detection and Accurate Height Sizing by Phased Array for Fatigue
Cracks in the Clad Restoration Weld and its Heat Affected Zone
(4) Monitoring by TOFD for the Flaw Propagation at the Base Metal
Weld and its Heat Affected Zone due to Coke Drum Cyclic Operation

S.H.I. EXAMINATION & INSPECTION, LTD.

(1) Dual TOFD System means to do

two (2) kinds of TOFD Set-up
Condition simultaneously.
(2) TOFD-1 has a Responsibility
mainly detect the Surface Flaw
near the Scanning Surfaces.
(3) The Region to detect the Flaws for
Thickness Direction is improved, and
Inspection Time can be reduced.
Dual TOFD (Time Of Flight Diffraction) (4) Flaw Evaluation in accordance
with ASME Code Case 2235-4
(1) Software Control of Beam Angle,
Focusing Distance, and Number of
Active Element simultaneously
Focusing to Overlay Weld
Maximum 32 Elements can be active
simultaneously.
(2) High Speed Scans, Parallel Scan
with the Weld only as same as TOFD
(3) Both Linear Scan and Sector Scan
Display A-Scope, Plan View (C-Scan)
PA Linear Scan Dual PA Sector Scan and Sectional View (B, D-Scan)
(4) Water is used as Couplant as
Phased Array (PA) Electrical Scan same as TOFD.

Characteristic of Dual PA Sector Scan

(1) 2 kinds of PA Sector Scan is conducted simultaneously by 2 Phased
Array Probes placed equally for the Centerline of Weld.
(2) Accurate Height Sizing of Each Detected Flaw can be verified by the
applicable VC-Sector Display (by applying to Tip-Diffraction Method).
(3) 3-Dimensional Merged Display (B, C, D-Scan) of Dual PA Sector Scan
can be obtained for Each Scanning Unit as same as PA Linear Scan.

SCC Detection and Sizing in Stainless Steel

(1) SCC Height Sizing Values is verified by both Phased Array and TOFD.
(2) In Case of Butt Weld Joint of Stainless Steel except Pipe Co nfiguration,
Dual PA Sector Scan is conducted simultaneously by 2 Phased Array
Probes placed equally for the Centerline of Weld.
(3) 3-Dimensional Merged Display (B, C, D-Scan) of Dual PA Sector Scan
can be obtained for Each Scanning Unit.

Characteristic of our High Temp TOFD Inspection

(1) Repeat TOFD Inspection at a Weld Surface and/or Base Metal
during Operation at High Temperature up to 400 Degree C.
(2) TOFD Inspection can take place long before Shutdown to optimize
the Planning of the Shutdown.
(3) Dual TOFD Inspection (2 kinds of Set-up Condition) is conducted
simultaneously to improve the Reliability of Flaw Detection.
