摘要:
An installation for non-destructive control for a metal tube in which an ultrasound sensor includes transducer elements that can be excited each at selected times. A downstream circuit for processing the sensed signals analyzes a global response of the tube at ultrasonic excitation. The transducer elements are only excited to produce a single emission and the downstream circuit recovers the samples of the sensed signals each through a transducer element, to associate therewith successive times respectively offset, to calculate plural global responses of the tube at a single emission, by modifying the shifts between the successive times.

摘要:
Non-destructive testing device for pipes. It extracts information on defects from signals captured by ultrasound receivers following the selective excitation of ultrasound transmitters according to a selected time rule. The receivers form an arrangement with a selected geometry, coupled in an ultrasound fashion, with relative rotation/translation movement, with the pipe. The device comprises a converter (891; 892) that selectively isolates a digital representation of echoes in designated time windows, as a function of the movement, and by extracting an image (901; 902) of defects, a filter (921; 922) which determines the presumed defect zones (Zcur) and the properties of these, a combiner (960) to prepare working digital inputs from an extract (951; 952) of images of a defect zone, properties of these coming from the filter, and contextual data (740), a neural circuit (970) receiving the working inputs, a digital decision and alarm stage (992) working on the basis of the output of the neural circuit, and a sorting and marking robot (994) for the pipes deemed not to conform by the decision and alarm step.

摘要:
The method and the apparatus relate to the detection of faults in the wall of a passing metal tube. A solenoid or solenoids generate two alternating magnetic fields of different frequenceis, the frequencies being chosen from the range of medium and high frequencies, in order to produce in the wall of a tube eddy currents which interact with the faults. The signals resulting from these interactions are detected by at least one detection solenoid and each difference in amplitude D between the signals obtained at the two frequencies for one and the same fault is compared with a specific difference which constitutes a threshold for rejection of the corresponding tube. Application of the method and of the apparatus to the inspection of ferrous or non-ferrous magnetic and non-magnetic metal tubes.
