Abstract

PURPOSE:To examine a metallic pipe or the like in a wide range at one time thereby to save labor and make the examination correct by heating or cooling the inner surface of the wall of said metallic pipe or the like to cause a temperature difference in a thicknesswise direction, and measuring the temperature distribution of an outer surface. CONSTITUTION:When a high temperature fluid A or a low temperature fluid B is allowed to circulate within a metallic pipe 1, if the wall of the pipe 1 is a thinned-off portion 3, the thermal conduction speed becomes different because of the difference in thermal capacity between the portion 3 and the other portions 6, thus giving rise to a temperature distribution in the outer surface. If the temperature distribution is measured by an infrared radiation thermometer 5, the thinned-off portion 3 can be easily detected. Since the infrared radiation thermometer 5 is used, a relatively wide range can be detected by a single measurement. Moreover, it is possible to detect at a remote place from the metallic pipe 1. The measuring area is sequentially moved all over the lengthwise direction of the pipe 1, and therefore the measurement can be effected with remarkably saving labor and reducing time.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The inspection method of the present invention heats or cools the inner surface of the wall of a metal tube, etc. to create a temperature difference in the thickness direction of the wall, and the temperature distribution on the outer surface is In the inspection method of the present invention, when a metal pipe, etc. is heated or cooled from the inside, if there is a thinning part on the wall, it is possible to measure the Due to the difference in heat capacity, there is a difference in the rate of heat transfer, and therefore, when a temperature difference is applied between both sides of the wall, a 'tTA degree distribution occurs on the outer surface of the wall. By measuring this temperature distribution, thinned areas and the like can be easily detected.

In this inspection method, two types of heat media, high and low, high temperature crystal fluid A and low temperature fluid B, are alternately circulated inside the metal tube 1, and heat of heating and cooling is alternately applied to the inner surface of the wall 1a. The thinned portion 3 is detected by remotely measuring the temperature distribution on the outer surface of the wall 1a with, for example, an infrared radiation thermometer 5 while applying a cycle and applying a temperature difference to both sides of the wall 1a. As two types of heat medium, lOO°
A combination of high-temperature steam of about 20° C. and cooling air or water of about 20° C. can be applied, and the replacement is performed in a state where a temperature difference is provided between the inner and outer surfaces of the wall la. In other words, the temperatures of the thinned part 3 on the outer surface of the wall 1a and the healthy part 6 of the pond are exchanged before reaching an equilibrium state.

That is, when high-temperature fluid is passed through the metal tube 1,
As for the temperature of the outer surface of the wall 1a, the relationship between each temperature of the thinned part 3 and the sound part 6 and time is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3), the temperature in the thinned portion 3 increases rapidly because the heat capacity is smaller than that in the healthy portion 6. If low-temperature fluid B is passed instead of high-temperature fluid A before the temperatures of both reach an equilibrium state, the temperatures of both the thinned part 3 and the healthy part 6 will decrease as shown by the broken line in FIG. Similar to when the temperature rises, the rate of decrease is faster in the thinned portion 3. When such operations are repeated and heat cycles are applied alternately, within a range where the temperatures of the thinned part 3 and the healthy part 6 are avoided,
The thinned part 3 is in a high temperature or low temperature state compared to the sound part 6 (in the range shown by H in FIG. 2, the thinned part 3 is in a high temperature state compared to the sound part 6), and within this range By measuring the temperature distribution on the outer surface of the wall 1a, the thinned portion 3 can be easily detected. In addition,
The time lag from when the heat medium is replaced to when the above range (the range indicated by H in FIG. 2) is reached is determined experimentally based on the thickness of the wall 1a, etc.

In addition, in this method, by using the above-mentioned infrared radiation thermometer 5 as a means for measuring temperature distribution, it is possible to cover a relatively wide range in one measurement, and the metal tube The measurement can be carried out at a remote location, and the measurement range can be sequentially moved in the length direction of the metal tube 1 to measure the entire area of the metal tube 1. Therefore, the labor and time required to measure the total acid content can be significantly reduced, the thinned portion 3 can be detected easily and accurately, and leakage prevention measures can be effectively taken.
