United States14.2 Eddy-current Eddy current instrumentation provides timely and useful information regarding the acceptability of CW pi

16、pefor quality control purposes as well as for early warning that unacceptable pipe is being produced.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this practice is to outline a procedure for the in-line eddy-current eddy current examination of hot CW pipefor the detection of major imperfections and repe

17、titive discontinuities.5.2 Amajor advantage of in-line eddy-current eddy current examination of ferromagnetic CW pipe above the Curie temperaturelies in the enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and depth of penetration obtained without the use of magnetic saturation.5.3 The eddy-current eddy current metho

18、d is capable of detecting and locating weld imperfections commonly referred to as openwelds, cave welds, black spots (weld inclusions), and partial welds (incomplete penetration). In addition, it will detect pipe-wallimperfections such as slivers, laps, and ring welds (end welds).5.4 The relative se

19、verity of the imperfections may be indicated by eddy-current eddy current signal amplitude or phase, or both.An alarm level may be selected that utilizes signal amplitude or phase, or both, for automatic recording or marking, or both.5.5 Because the responses from natural discontinuities may vary si

20、gnificantly from those from artificial discontinuities, caremust be exercised in establishing test sensitivity and acceptance criteria.6. Basis of Application6.1 The following criteria may be specified in the purchase specification, contractual agreement, or elsewhere, and may requireagreement betwe

21、en the purchaser and the supplier.6.1.1 The diameter, wall-thickness, and temperature of the pipe being examined.6.1.2 The extent of the examination.6.1.3 The time of examination: the point or points in the manufacturing process where the pipe will be examined, and itsthroughput speed.6.1.4 Test Sta

22、ndardization:6.1.4.1 The size (length, diameter, and wall) and composition of the reference standard if applicable.6.1.4.2 The time between calibrationstandardization checks.6.1.5 The disposition of material with indications.6.1.6 The reporting of testexamination results.6.1.7 If specified in the co

23、ntractual agreement, personnel performing examinations to this practice shall be qualified inaccordance with a nationally recognized NDT personnel qualification practice or standard such as ANSI/ASNT-CP-189,SNT-TC-1A, MIL-STD-410E, NAS-410,ASNT-ACCP, or a similar document and certified by the certif

24、ying agency, as applicable.The practice or standard used and its applicable revision shall be identified in the contractual agreement between the using parties.NOTE 1MIL-STD-410 is canceled and has been replaced with NAS-410, however, it may be used with agreement between contracting parties.6.1.8 I

25、f specified in the contractual agreement, NDT agencies shall be qualified and evaluated in accordance with Practice E543.The applicable edition of Practice E543 shall be specified in the contractual agreement.7. Interferences7.1 There are some manufacturing processes that produce pipe with surface c

26、onditions that could interfere with or obscuresignals related to typical pipe imperfections.7.2 Mechanical vibrations, speed variations, and temperature changes can have an affect on test sensitivities.8. Apparatus8.1 The transducercoil assembly, whether encircling or probe coils, consists of one or

27、 more electrical coils, cooling apparatusthat is adequate to maintain the proper coil-operating temperature and prevent thermal damage, and positioning mechanisms foradjusting and maintaining a constant spacing between the coil and the pipe surface. Some assemblies may include mechanicalguides to pr

28、event physical damage to the transducercoils by contact with the product.8.1.1 The types and sizes of transducerscoils employed are determined to a large degree by the coverage and resolution required.Through precise transducercoil positioning, the geometries required for effective pipe inspection c

29、an be maintained.8.1.2 The eddy-current transducers eddy current coils are cooled to maintain proper operating temperatures for test stability, andto avoid thermal damage to the windings or the associated fixturing, or both.8.1.3 The optimum response to the variables of interest (see 5.3) can be obt

30、ained through the selection of the properinstrumentation, transducercoil design, and operating frequency. Through signal processing, responses to variables of interest canbe increased while those from such sources as scale patches, cold spots, and mechanical vibration can be suppressed.8.1.4 Usually

31、, the transducercoil assembly is placed at a location where product speed is constant and vibration is minimal.E1033 1328.2 The eddy-current eddy current instrumentation should be capable of energizing transducerscoils with alternating currents ofselected and stable frequencies and energy levels, an

32、d of sensing the changes in eddy-current eddy current flow arising from pipeimperfections.8.2.1 Eddy-current Eddy current responses may be displayed on a cathode-ray tube, indicated by a meter, digital display,strip-chart recorder, or other applicable methods.8.2.2 Automatic alarm and marking featur

33、es may be included and can provide automatic classification at production-line speeds.9. Adjustment and Standardization of Apparatus9.1 The method of manufacture of CW pipe precludes the use of a physical reference standard for in-line system standardizationas is the norm for most eddy-current eddy

34、current examinations. The continuity of product runs and the high-line speeds (up to3000 ft/min or 15.2 m/s) requires the use of alternative calibration methods.9.2 The industry-accepted methods for system standardization and sensitivity adjustment include either electronically generatedsignals to s

35、imulate responses to reference notches, or the use of eddy-current eddy current noise levels to obtain repeatablesensitivities.9.2.1 Electronic signals that simulate those obtained from actual imperfections during eddy-currentthe examination can beinduced into the transducer and the instrumentation

36、coil, or the instrumentation, or both, and adjusted to the appropriate responselevels.9.2.2 The eddy-current eddy current noise level is that actually generated as the pipe passes through or by the transducer.Instrument controls may be adjusted so that the material-generated noise is some predetermi

37、ned fraction of full-scale response.Through experience, sensitivities suitable for detecting imperfections of interest can be obtained. It must be clearly established thatthe noise level is material-generated and not from the instrumentation.9.2.3 Verification of the sensitivity levels obtained thro

38、ugh either the electronic-signal or the system-noise may be establishedthrough other nondestructive or mechanical examination methods, or both.9.3 If standardization with conventional reference standards is applicable, off-line standardization may be performed using pipesamples of appropriate sizes

39、made from austenitic stainless steel.9.3.1 Refer to Practice E309, paragraph 7.6 and Section 10, for reference standard fabrication and Section 9 for standardizationprocedures.10. Operating Procedure10.1 Standardize the system in a manner similar to that given in Section 9 at the beginning of each t

40、urn and when changingsizes.10.2 Pipes and tubes to be examined are passed through the examination station with the apparatus adjusted in accordance withSection 9.10.3 Any piece showing a discontinuity indication equal to or greater than an established rejection level shall be automaticallymarked or

41、otherwise identified as having a potentially rejectable discontinuity.10.4 Make no equipment adjustments other than at standardization time.11.
