Software Based Inspection Solutions

1. BeamTool 10: FMC/TFM Technique Design Tools
2. Assisted Analysis Software: Platform for UT Data Analysis

Software: Advanced FMC/TFM Technique Design Tools

• Added functionality to Eclipse Scientific’s BeamTool software to optimize FMC/TFM based technique design
• Fast simulation of TFM image of small “point” target throughout imaging domain – so called Point Spread Function (PSF)
• Size, shape and amplitude of PSF mapped throughout chosen imaging region, quantify how well focused TFM image will be
• Helps to estimate expected sizing accuracy of technique

Software: Assisted Analysis Platform

• Software Platform to leverage developed post processing algorithms (ex. Shannon information processing) for custom and standard inspection applications
• Minimizes operator’s errors (missing indications, false calls) specifically for inspections with challenging geometries
• Decrease analysis time ideal for general Weld Inspection for large inspection campaigns

Assisted Analysis Platform – General Weld Inspection

• Software for semi-automated analysis of ultrasonic data
• Corrected to geometry views (folding) with correct overlay imported from BeamTool
• Excluding data outside of regions of interested (weld volume & HAZ)

Assisted Analysis Platform – General Weld Inspection

• Common codes (ASME, ISO, AWS) algorithmically for detection and sizing, acceptance criteria automatically applied, defect table generated by software
• Analyst reviews software generated defect table, remove false calls and geometric indications
• Reports auto-generated
• Merged projection views, polygon image gating and beam folding for complex geometries supported
• Anomaly detection (Shannon Information) view implemented, limit false calls
• Up to 5 x time savings in analyzing scan files

Assisted Analysis Platform – Beam Folding for Inspection in Axial Direction

• True to geometry folding facilitates analysis for characterization and sizing
• Provides major advantage for seam weld/ERW weld inspection
• Removes imprecision in positioning flaws through wall on axial pieces
