Abstract:In the Oil and Gas industry, it is very common to make welds on pipes in the field. For straight pipes, most of the time, welds are inspected with an automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) system. However, pipes having non-traditional geometric constraints such as a slanted corrugation feature prohibit the use of an AUT method. As an effort to develop a field deployable in-situ weld inspection system, a high-speed MPA circuit board (purchased from Advanced OEM Solutions) has been used to drive a 32-element MPA pro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
