Flaw detection method and flaw detection device for weld zone using tofd method

TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a TOFD-based flaw detection method for a weld zone using a transmission-side probe 12 and a reception-sensor probe 11 arranged across the weld zone 60.
Abstract
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flaw detection device for a nozzle and its method that can easily calculate a position of a flaw of a nozzle connected by welding in a TOFD method.SOLUTION: A flaw detection device for a weld zone using a TOFD method includes a transmission-side probe 12 and a reception-side probe 11 arranged across a weld zone 60. The transmission-side probe 12 transmits an ultrasonic beam to the weld zone 60 at 60° and the reception-side probe 11 receives a diffracted wave of the ultrasonic beam from a flaw 70 of the weld zone 60. The device further includes: elliptic track calculation means for calculating an elliptic track such that the ultrasonic wave from the transmission-side probe 12 to the reception-side probe 11 is equal in propagation path length; echo height calculation means for calculating echo heights of a plurality of diffracted waves on the calculated elliptic track by changing a plurality of reception angles of the reception probe; and flaw position calculation means for calculating a position of a flaw of the weld zone on the basis of the elliptic track calculated by the elliptic track calculation means and the echo heights calculated by the echo height calculation means.
