APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INSPECTION OF PIPES AND TUBES USING GUIDED WAVE PROBE

摘要

The present invention provides an internal ultrasound and magnetic point in the tube, pipe or cylindrical structure of the small diameter from the external point to an apparatus and method for directing the expression machinery distortion generated wave. External mechanism for generating a wave in the present invention is configured to maintain the target tube of a small mechanical contact within the lapse of 24, the target tube 24 sufficiently small size of the cylindrical waveguide tube inserted into the gun (10) embodies a. Standard ultrasonic wave-generating device or a magnetic distortion / mechanical wave generating coils (16, 18, 20) is positioned inside of the wave guide branches (12) of the outside of the target tube 24 wave guide 12 through the target tube 24 as to generate a suitable machine wave. Waveguide 12 and the mechanical interface between the inner surface of the tube (14) is a query file (36) and the target tube 24 and the waveguide 12 is located at the point within the target tube to deliver the received return signal waves between and is available.
