Evaluation of Ect Signals Due to Sg Tube Crack with Deposit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eddy Current Testing (ECT) is used for in-service inspection of tubes in steam generators, heat exchangers and condensers in nuclear or conventional power plants as well as in chemical installations. ECT is particularly attractive because it offers both very high detectability and high scanning speeds. Direct contact with test material or a coupling medium is not necessary and the test is easily automated. For the tube inspection, the probes embedded sensor coils are usually inserted in the tubes. Therefore the detecting capability for an outer defect is low in comparison with an inner one by skin effect.

Developments in Electromagnetic Inspection Methods I Extraction of Crack Indications from ECT Signals using Signal Phase Characteristics and its Application to PINC Round Robin Test
This paper proposes a method to reduce noise and extract crack indications from detection signals of a 48-channel ECT system based on its signal phase characteristics. Because this 48-channel ECT system performs two kinds of scanning patterns: U-scan and T-scan, and obtains two sets of signal distributions for one scanning area simultaneously, the proposed method uses a two-stage process that i...
متن کاملEddy Current Testing and Sizing of Fatigue Cracks
This study proposes an investment for the evaluation of fatigue cracks by eddy current testing (ECT). Fatigue cracks (FC) manufactured on SUS316 plates are detected using ECT. Inverse analysis is applied to the ECT signals and both crack depth and length are estimated. Two models are applied, one is the EDM model without conductivity, and the other is the SCC model with partial conductivity. Th...
متن کاملApplication of Wavelet Transform as a Signal Processing Method for Defect Detection using Lamb Waves: Experimental Verification
A Lamb wave-based crack detection method for aluminum plates health monitoring is developed in this paper. Piezoelectric disks are employed to actuate and capture the Lamb wave signals. The position of crack is assumed to be aligned with the sensor and actuator. Extraction of high quality experimental results of lamb wave propagation in a plate-like structure is considerably complicated due to...
متن کاملAutomated Analysis of Eddy Current Signals in Steam Generator Tube Inspection
Accurate and consistent determination of flawed regions in steam generator tubing is becoming increasingly important as nuclear power plants age and repair costs increase. The general problem of assessing the structural integrity of steam generator tubing using eddy current inspection is rather complex due to the presence of noise and interference signals under different inspection conditions. ...
متن کاملDose-Response Relationship of Clinical Effi-cacy and Side Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy
Background: The electrical dose selected for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) must have an acceptable efficacy and no or minimal cognitive side-effects. We evaluated the clinical efficacy and cognitive side-effects of ECT in relation to the stimulus dose administered. Method: This study assessed 71 depressed patients who were treated with bilateral ECT. For evaluation of depressive and cognitive...
