High-Speed Scans with No Moving Parts

While phased arrays imply handling the many signals frommultielement probes, it is important to note that the resulting sig-nal is a standard RF signal (or A-scan) comparable to that of anyconventional system with a fixed-angle transducer.

This signal can be evaluated, processed, filtered, and imaged justas any A-scan from a conventional UT system. B-scans, C-scans,and D-scans built from the A-scan are also identical to that ofa conventional system. The difference is that a multiple-angleinspection can be handled with a single transducer.

Multiplexing also allows motionless scanning: a focused beamis created using a few of the many elements of a long phased-array probe. The beam is then shifted (or multiplexed) to the otherelements to perform a high-speed scan of the part with no probemovement along that axis. More than one scan may be performedwith various inspection angles.

The principle can be applied to flat parts using a linear phasedarray probe or to tubes and rods using a circular phased arrayprobe.

Defect Positioning

For manual inspections, real-time readings are essential to quicklyposition the reflected signal source with respect to the parts ge-ometry and/or probe location.

RA, PA, DA, and SA readings allow the user to accurately positionthe defect in real time during an inspection.

RA: Reference point to the indication in gate A

PA: Probe front face to the indication in gate A

DA: Depth of the indication in gate A

SA: Sound path length to the indication in gate A

High-speed linear scan: phased array systems can also be used to inspect flat surfaces such as

steel plates. Compared to a wide, single-element transduceroften referred to as apaint brushphased array technology offers a much higher sensitivity due to the use of a

small focused beam.

Phased Array Probes

Phased array probes are made in a variety of shapes and sizes for different applications. A few types are illustrated here.

Typical array probes have a frequency ranging from 1 MHz to 17 MHz and have between 10 and 128 elements.Offers a wide varietyof probes using piezocomposite technology for all types of inspections. This catalog shows standard phased array probes, which aredivided into three types: angle beam probes, integrated wedge probes, and immersion probes.

Other types of probes can be designed to suit the needs of your application.

Linear arrays are the most commonly used phased array probes for industrial applications. One of the important features that definesphased array probes is the active probe aperture.

The active aperture(A)is the total active probe length. Aper-ture length is calculated by the following formula:

A= np

where n= number of elements in the PA probe

p= elementary pitchdistance betweenthe centers of two adjacent elements

A more precise way of finding the active aperture is calcu-lated by this formula:

A= (n 1)p+ e

where e= element widthwidth of a singlepiezocomposite element (a practical

value is e< /2)

The near-field (N)value gives the maximum depth of usablefocus for a given array. This value is given by the followingformula:

N =D2f

4c

where D = element diameter

f = frequency

c = material velocity

To calculate the near-field value in the active (primary)axis of a phased array probe:D = n p,where nis

number of elements per group in the focal law.

To calculate the near-field value in the passive(secondary) axis of a phased array probe: D= Wpassive,which is often called elevation.

Laterally Focused Arrays (CCEV)These new probes for girth weld inspection used with the

PipeWIZARD system or COBRAscanner have curved elements in

the passive plane, focusing thebeam in the lateral direction.An integrated lens permits theuse of standard wedges. Thesecylindrically focused probes

significantly reduces oversizing and excessive repairs. Theircapacity to discriminate small indications is a major advantagewhen sizing the length of an intermittent defect using interac-tion rules. In addition, beam energy is better maintained insmall pipe/thin wall applications.
