Systems and Methods for Non-Destructive Parts Testing

摘要

There is disclosed herein systems and methods for non-destructive testing of test bodies. The method includes positioning the test body in a test position, transmitting ultrasonic waves, by a transmission device, into the test body at one or more locations on the surface of one end of the test body; receiving portions of the ultrasonic waves, by a receiving device, that are reflected from or through the test body at each of the locations on the surface of one end of the test body; generating, by a wave generating device, at least one test wave form based on the portions corresponding to each of the locations on the surface of one end of the test body; comparing, by a wave processing device, the test wave form for the body at each of the locations to a respective one of a set of calibration wave forms for a reference body.

主权项

1. A method for non-destructive testing of at least one test body, the method comprising steps of:
positioning the test body in a test position; wherein the test body has at least one surface located at a first end thereof; transmitting ultrasonic waves, by a transmission device, into the test body at one or more locations on the surface; receiving portions of the ultrasonic waves, by a receiving device, that are reflected from or through the test body at the first end; generating, by a wave generating device, at least one test wave form based on the portions corresponding to each of the locations; comparing, by a wave processing device, the test wave form for the body at each of the locations to a respective one of a set of calibration wave forms for a reference body;
wherein the calibration wave form is indicative of performance characteristics of the reference body; recording, on a storage device, a result from the comparing, wherein the result is positive if the test body is eligible for use in the industrial application and wherein the result is otherwise negative; and outputting the result by an output device.
