CONTAINER FAILURE DETECTION SYSTEM.
Abstract
Two alternate ultrasonic inspection systems have been fabricated and evaluated with a failed billet container. Records produced by the sys tems indicated comparable results and depict a high degree of capability and reliability in detecting longitudinally oriented cracks orig inating at the bore surface. The pulse echo technique was adopted; though preliminary exper iments with through transmission promised suffi cient sensitivity for automated recording of flaw depth and location, further investigation utiliz ing the model billet container revealed effects detrimental to its successful use. Integration of the ''roller skate'' search unit, scanning system and recording system was accomplished through tests conducted with the model billet container. Records obtained during inspection of the model billet container compared favorably with those obtained previously. (Author)
