Designing of auxiliary equipment for phased array ultrasonic tester

Abstract

The objective of this research is to construct a phased array device to be able to inspect all sizes of welded pipes and to study materials suitable for creating a phased array. The results obtained from testing both materials are PLA plastics, carbon fiber. In order to obtain the force exerted on the material and the intensity of the force exerted on the same material, it is found that the strength of the comparison between the two materials is different from the PLA plastic test. Of carbon fibers will be strong and lighter than plastic. Result from the test for Elastic In the impact and strength tests of both materials, it can be used to examine pipes with a circumference of 50 centimeters to 100 centimeters and to use a 34 mm. length phased array probe with a width of 24.6 mm. 36 degrees angle, and then adjust the strap as needed to reduce the steps during the use of inspection equipment.
