Flaw Classification in Welded Plates with a Microprocessor Controlled Flaw Detector.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to manifest that a microprocessor, when utilized in connection with an ultrasonic flaw detector, can reliably regulate an ultrasonic inspection process. By virtue of several concentrated laboratory trials and accompanying analysis with the microprocessor-flaw detector combination, it will be demonstrated that dependable, speedy, and cost effective flaw detection is within the realm of reality. Specifically, this particular study focuses on the microprocessor controlled evaluation of steel plates. While it is true that the overall procedure employed here involved itself with flaw classification in one area (welds in steel plates), it will become apparent that applications are not restricted to steel plates. Cognizant of this fact, this paper will also provide insight into other areas pertinent to the study. (Author)
