(Fig 1-1)

Scope: the purpose of this setup procedure is to provide the TechSonic EZ III™ operator with a basic
understanding of the equipment and its capabilities. The information contained in this manual is only a
guide to performing inspection. The example procedures contained in this manual are NOT intended to be
followed verbatim or to be construed as the correct way an inspection operation is to be performed. As
with any inspection operation, it is the responsibility of the inspection company to develop, and implement
seervice and eqipment operating procedures (including safety procedures), and to establish acceptance
criteria for the product being inspected.

Method of Operation: The pipe being inspected is rolled onto the


rotators.The ultrasonic Scanning head is placed onto the pipe, As the pipe is
rotating, a small amount of water is applied to the pipe surface to provide a
sound path interface from the UT transducer to the ID and OD pipe surface.
Detected flaws are presented in simultaneous real-time on the full color LCD
screen and digital printer. Both the electronics and scanner operator can
control rotator and printer on/off functions. 100% surface coverage is
achieved by rotating the pipe and scanning rate at up to 10,000 pulses per
second.

CAUTION!
Please read the following Safety Instructions BEFORE Starting Up Operating Equipment

Inspection equipment is designed to inspect Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG). Accomplishment
of this function requires a combination of high electrical and mechanical power inputs, high speeds,
heavy and numerous moving components including the OCTG itself. Failure to observe certain
basic safety rules or incorrect usage of the equipment may result in a injury to the operator or by-
standers.

Although every effort has been made to design and construct safe, dependable equipment, it is im-
possible to foresee all circumstances under which the equipment may be utilized or to anticipate all
possible combinations of factors which may trigger an accident. It is therefore imperative that the
equipment operator, as well as all others engaged in any phase of set-up or maintenance of the unit
consider Safety-First an important part of the job.

The following general safety considerations are offered as an aid to users of this inspection equip-
ment to assist them in becoming safety oriented:

1) READ all operations / maintenance manuals before attempting to lift, move, operate or perform
maintenance on any piece of equipment! Become intimately familiar with all equipment controls, their
locations, their operation, and their effect on equipment functions. Keep the operator’s instruction
book in a clean location immediately adjacent to the equipment for quick reference. Educate all em-
ployees to the correct operation and possible safety hazards associated with this type of equipment.

The Flaw Scope provides navigation arrows, [CHECK] and [ESCAPE] keys, and an adjustment
knob. They are general purpose keys, regardless of instrument mode or function. The [CHECK] and
[ESCAPE] keys are available on both left and right side of the front panel.

(Fig 2-19)

(Fig 2-20)
The [CHECK] key has three primary functions:

1. When a submenu is highlighted, [CHECK] enters this submenu and brings the highlighted focus
to the first parameter within the submenu.
2. When an adjustable parameter is highlighted, [CHECK] toggles the parameter adjustment be-
tween a coarse and fine adjustment.
- Coarse adjustment is active when the parameter title is underlined.
- Fine adjustment is active when the parameter title is not underlined.
3. When a function parameter button is highlighted, [CHECK] activates that functions (example
CAL Zero).

The [ESCAPE] key has two primary functions:

1. When in a setup page, [ESCAPE] returns to the live inspection screen.


2. When a parameter in the horizontal parameter frame is highlighted, [ESCAPE] returns focus to
the corresponding submenu. A second press of [ESCAPE] returns focus to the first selection of
the submenu (Basic or PA Display).

TRANSVERSE SETUP
Note: This is a sample setup and is not intended to take the place of a calibra-
tion by a qualified technician or operator for a specific inspection. These setting are
approximates and vary between units, standards, and the pipe to be inspected.

This section describes how to calibrate the flaw scope in conventional ultrasound mode.
Calibration is the process of adjusting the unit so that it measures accurately on a partic-
ular material, using a particular transducer at a particular temperature.
You must adjust the zero offset and velocity parameters of the flaw scope during the calibration. Ze-
ro offset (sometimes referred to as probe delay) compensates for the dead time between the firing of
the main bang and the entry of the sound into the test piece. The unit must be programmed with the
correct velocity setting so that it matches the material velocity of the test piece.
1. Press [GAIN] to select an initial gain value that is appropriate for the calibration. If the appro-
priate gain level is unknown, set the initial gain at 20 dB and adjust it as necessary during cali-
bration to obtain the desired height.
2. Choose 1/5>Basic>Velocity, and then enter the velocity for the test material.
3. Choose 1/5> Basic> Zero, and then adjust the zero offset of the instrument to 0.000µs.
4. Choose 1/5> Basic> Range, and set the range so that you can see the second O.D. indication
on the right side of the screen.
Use more range than necessary to ensure all calibration echoes appear on the
screen and to allow for the internal upset.
5. Choose 1/5> Basic> Delay, and then set the screen delay so the interface indication is on the
left side of the screen.
Adjust interface indication to left side of screen Interface indication to left side of screen

10. Interface Gate-This interface gate is principally used in immersion application where the water
path distance between the front surface of the test material and the transducer face is continuous-
ly changing. The interface gate is also commonly used in captive water application (UTEA Scan-
ning Wheel). The interface gate option tracks the position of the reflection from the interface of
the water path and the test piece and compensates for the variance in this reflector’s position.

GATE SETUP
Gate Measurement Mode
Each gate can make measurements using the following modes:

Edge
Acquires measurements readings on the position of the first crossing point of a gated signal.
The indication must break the threshold of the gate for a measurement to be made.

Peak
Acquires measurement reading based on the position of the highest peak within the gated
screen range. The indication does not have to break the gate threshold for a measurement to be ac-
quired.

1st Peak
Acquires measurement reading based on the position of the first peak to break
threshold of the gate within the gated region.

When a measurement is being made using one of the measurement gates, a small
triangle appears on the gate to indicate from which echo/point the measurement is
Being acquired.

Gate RF Setup
In unrectified (RF) mode, used to choose the polarity of the gate. Options include:

Dual Gate
The gate appears in the positive and negative side of the X-axis.
Position and width are identical, and the gate level mirror across the
X-axis (example 25% and -25%).
Positive
The gate appears only on the positive side of the x-axis.
Negative
The gate appears only on the negative side of the-axis.

Gate % Amp Measurement


In Edge mode only, this selection allows you to define the method for measuring
Amplitude of the gated indication.

Highest Peak
Acquires the amplitude measurement of the gated indication from the highest
Peak within the gated region.

1stPeak
Acquires the amplitude measurement of the gated indication from the first peak
within the gated region. The peak must break the threshold of the gate to be measured.
NOTE
The wall scope does not acquire measurement readings unless the indication of
Interest is within a gated region of the screen. You should be careful to adjust the
Start, Width, and Level of a measurement gate so only the indication of interest
Falls within the gated region, per the measurement definition above.

GATE SETUP
Gate Measurement Mode, cont.

Gate Tracking and Echo-to-Echo Measurement

The gate tracking feature of the scope allows you to make echo-to-echo measurements whenever this
feature is required by an application. Echo-to-echo measurement can be made between: Gate 2 - Gate
1, Gate 2– IF Gate, and Gate 1-IF Gate.
Gate tracking maintains a constant separation between the two gates involved in an echo-to-echo
measurement. This prevents fluctuation from the first gated indication to cause an incorrect or lost
measurement due to improper positioning of the second measurement gate.

When gate tracking is active, the start position value of the tracking gate (the second gate involved in
the measurement) defines the separation between the gates, not a fixed start position
.

Scanner speed adjustment (helical advancement)
The scanner speed can be adjusted to enable you to achieve 100% coverage. Once you have the
rotator speed set then you will need to adjust the scanner helical advancement. The scanner will
pull itself down the pipe when the angle (helical advancement) of the wheel is set.

(Fig 3-11)

To set the angle of the wheel, loosen the knobs on top of the frame.

(Fig 3-12) (Fig 3-13)

Turn the wheel frame to desired angle ( the smaller the angle the slower the travel and the more
coverage, the grater the angle the faster the travel and the less coverage) and tighten the knobs

(Fig 3-14)

It is recommended that the “helical advancement” be adjusted so that the reference notch is
detected on at least 2 consecutive revolutions.

5. Turn the end with the cable down and secure the wheel assembly.

6. Fill the tire with couplant solution via the valves located on the angle adjustment side
of the tire. Locate the valve (#7 Fig 4-4 page 40) that does not have a secondary outlet through the
end of the flange (visible through the tire membrane) and fill with solution. Bleed air through the
other valve. (#6 Fig 4-4 page 40)

COUPLANT: Ethylene glycol (cold climates only) and /or distilled water.
mix 1 part glycol to 6 parts water in a container. Pour mixture through a filter (coffee
filter works well) into a clean container before introducing solution into the wheel assembly.

7. Fill the wheel ( see instructions page 41) with couplant until the tire is firm and free of air bubbles
(approximately 5 to 15 psi - .34 to 1.03 bar).

8. Place the wheel into the frame and snug the yoke clamps (do not tighten yoke clamps at this time
just snug enough to keep the wheel from moving freely ) ( Fig 4-3 page 40)
9. Connect the cables to the UT Scanning Head and turn on the electronic console. (Do not connect
or disconnect the UT scanning head while the electronics are “ON "as damage to the electronic
logic circuitry could result)

8. Place scanner on the ZERO standard, and apply couplant to the standard. With the leading
edge of the wheel approximately flush with the end of the standard. Rotate the wheel shaft
until the edge of the standard is detected on the scope (reduce UT gain to obtain the highest
peak signal). Slide the scanner backwards until the drill hole (Fig 4-2) is detected on the scope.
Rotate the shaft to obtain the highest peak signal on the scope. Tighten the yoke clamps

FILLING THE WHEEL

Stand the scanner up on it’s end with the angle adjustment knob
up.

To fill the wheel with couplant solution, take the air valve exten-
sion and attach to the air valve that does not have a secondary out-
let through the end of the flange (visible through the wheel mem-
brane) (see Fig 4-4 #7 page 40)

(Fig 4-5)

Attach the chuck from the fluid hand pump to the air valve
extension. Place the open end of the pump into your couplant
Solution.

(Fig 4-6)

Squeeze the bulb on the pump to fill the wheel. Continue pump-
ing until the wheel is firm and free of air bubbles (approximately
5 to 15 psi - .34 to 1.03 bar). Air is removed by tilting the wheel
in a way that the air bubbles are at the flange edge beside the
bleed valve, and depressing the valve stem slightly until the air is
out of the wheel.
