Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline detection, in particular to an ultrasonic detection mechanism and method in a small-caliber pipeline.
Background
After the thermal power generating unit in service runs for a period of time, a new pipeline needs to be replaced aiming at the corrosion-thinned metal pipeline. Before a new pipeline is assembled and replaced, the pipeline needs to be detected, so that the defect-free inside the pipeline is ensured. Currently, rotary ultrasound and pulsed eddy current detection methods are widely used.
Pulsed eddy current detection is a non-destructive detection method, which utilizes a high-frequency alternating current magnetic field to induce surface eddy current of a detected material, thereby finding defects in a target area. The pulsed eddy current probe consists of a coil and a magnetic core, and when an alternating current power supply is added into the coil, the magnetic core gathers the magnetic field of the coil to generate high-density magnetic flux. During operation of the pulsed eddy current probe, the magnetic field produces a rapid change that causes eddy currents to pass through the eddy current sensor and then feed defects back into the inspection apparatus. By the pulse eddy current detection principle, various types of defects such as cracks, holes, bubbles, impurities and the like can be detected, and meanwhile, the conductivity and the magnetism of metal can be detected.
Rotational ultrasonic testing is a non-destructive testing method that uses a rotational ultrasonic probe to test a material. The method is generally used for identifying internal defects and foreign matters of metal materials such as steel, aluminum alloy and the like. In the detection process, the rotary ultrasonic probe rotates at a certain speed, simultaneously transmits ultrasonic waves into the material, receives the reflected ultrasonic waves, and then analyzes the signals to identify defects and foreign matters.
The detection effect of the method for detecting the thin-wall pipeline is good whether the method is rotary ultrasonic detection or pulsed eddy current detection, but the detection effect of the thick-wall pipeline is poor, and the detection progress of the two methods can be seriously influenced along with the increase of the thickness of the pipeline wall.
