An ultnasonic wave of predetermined velocity and frequency is transmitted to engage the surface of the object at a predetermined angle of inci dence thereto. The incident angle of the wave to the surface is determined with respect to phase velocity, incident wave velocity, incident wave frequency, and the estimated depth of the flaw so that Lamb waves of a particular type and mode are induced only in the portion of the object between the flaw and the surface.

These Lamb waves are then detected as they leave the object at an angle of exit equal to the angle of incidence. No waves wlll be generated in the object and hence received if no flaw exists beneath the surface. Not a MyNAP member yet?

Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. UT typically launches the sound waves at an angle into the material in such a way that planar discontinuities can be readily detected.

UT typically launches the sound waves at an angle into the material in such a way that planar discontinuities can be readily detected.

In other words, the acceptance and rejection criteria are not related to the structural performance of the weld in any way.

The experimental testing program had two components. The experimental methods included measurement of acoustic material properties and ultrasonic testing of weld flaw specimens representing typical bridge weld geometries. These specimens included embedded and surface discontinuities representing both planar and volumetric discontinuities. Weld flaw specimens will also be used to perform final verification tests of the proposed modifications to the PAUT inspection procedure.

However, unlike the single element transducer used in conventional UT, PAUT uses multiple element transducers and electronic time delays to generate and receive ultrasound. Linear arrays are used for most applications since they are cheaper than more complex arrays and easier to program [5].

Phased array probes commonly have between 16 to elements. Focal flaws are calculated by the software, which controls the time delays and firing sequence of the transducer. This will produce a scan which is similar to manual scanned conventional UT. PAUT time delays. For conventional UT, sensitivity calibration involves measuring the reference amplitude of a standard 1. For PAUT, the reference amplitude is calculated across the full range of angles that will be used during the scanning.

Time corrected gain TCG is used to account for material attenuation by sweeping the ultrasonic beam through SDH reflectors at varying depths. This can aid the technician in distinguishing false call signals due to geometric indications. Encoded PAUT scanning offers the ability to collect the raw scan data and save it for future reference or viewing. Operator error is introduced into the reporting process since these values often are manually transferred from physical measurements or instrument results.

When line scanning is performed, the probe is typically kept normal to the weld axis to inspect for discontinuities which are primarily oriented parallel to the weld axis. Inspection of welds in steel bridges is necessary to ensure the quality of workmanship during the fabrication and construction process and later on when the bridge is in service. Recent advances in enhanced ultrasonic methods, including the development of phased-array ultrasonic technology PAUT , allow for efficient detection and characterization of flaws with the option of automated data collection and imaging.

However, these acceptance criteria do not reflect the full use of the capability of enhanced ultrasonic testing methods, and furthermore are not based on the effect of weld discontinuities on bridge performance e.

In addition, some weld discontinuities that are not allowed according to BWC are potentially not harmful and may not decrease service life. An updated acceptance criteria based on enhanced ultrasonic testing methods for evaluation of CJP welds in steel bridges was needed for fabricators and bridge owners.
