Automatic ultrasonic flaw detecting system

摘要

An automatic ultrasonic flaw detecting system adapted to search flaws on steel pipes being continuously transferred and provide markings at the positions of flaws on the steel pipes. The system comprises a probe adapted to search flaws on the steel pipe, a holder for the probe, and a flaw pulse generation circuit adapted to generate flaw pulse signals in response to the flaw signals from the probe. A travel measurement pulse generator generates measurement pulse signals by measuring the distance which the steel pipes have travelled. A pipe and sensor detects the end of the steel pipe and generates pipe end detection signals. A flaw tracking control apparatus tracks the flaws in response to the flaw pulse signals, the measurement pulse signals and the pipe end detecting signals and generates marking control signals. A marking is provided at the position of flaws detected on the steel pipe in response to the marking control signals.
