Nondestructive Testing for Field Welds: Real Time Weld Quality Monitor-Field Tests.

Abstract

This report documents the laboratory and field testing conducted on the weld quality monitor (WQM) developed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory. Results of the laboratory testing showed that all channels of the weld monitor performed satisfactorily, both independently and in conjunction with each other. Field testing showed a one-to-one correspondence between an anomalous event and WQM output. It has therefore been concluded that the WQM now meets the basic requirements for Army field operations.
