Rotating UST is a method of moving a material to be inspected, such as a steel pipe, in the axial direction and using ultrasonic waves emitted from a probe that is installed outside the material to be inspected and rotating around this axis. This is a device that detects flaws on a material to be inspected based on the trajectory of the relative movement between the material and the probe, that is, the spiral trajectory. A conventional device for such a rotating UST is shown in FIG. FIG. 3A is a contact-type probe, and FIG. 3B is a non-contact type probe at its position at a right angle to the above-mentioned axis. In both figures A and B, 11
is a material to be inspected, 12 is a rotating body coaxial with the material to be inspected 11, and 13 is a probe, which is held on the rotating body 12 and is propagated by an ultrasonic (usually 0.5 to 10 MHz) generator (not shown). The sound beam is irradiated onto the material 11 to be inspected. 14 in the figure is a couplant such as water, which mediates the above-mentioned ultrasonic sound beam.

とされている。 Normally, in the case of the contact type shown in Figure A above, the rotational speed (circumference) of the probe 13 is Because of the limited speed, the ability to detect flaws, etc. on the inspected material 11 within a unit time is said to be inferior to that of the non-contact type, which has excellent acoustic coupling.

欠点があつた。 On the other hand, since the non-contact type rotating UST has excellent acoustic coupling of ultrasonic waves as described above, the rotation speed of the probe 13 can be increased compared to the contact type. Therefore, the number of spiral trajectories described above that can be obtained within the same amount of time naturally increases, which has the advantage of high flaw detection efficiency. Stability and the presence of a sufficient amount of couplant 14 between the inspected material 11 and the probe 13 are essential conditions for flaw detection, and these two conditions must be met. Failure to do so has disadvantages, such as inaccurate and, in some cases, completely undetectable results.
上記の従来技術の問題を具体例を示して、さら

しており、回転USTは使用できない。 The above-mentioned problems of the prior art will be explained in more detail by showing specific examples. First, regarding the influence of the amount of deflection due to its own weight, for example, in the case of a rotating UST with a processing capacity of the rotating body 12 of 2500 mm, if the distance between the rotating body 12 and the pinch roll supporting it is approximately 500 mm, the deflection of the cantilever beam will be The maximum condition is a span of 3000mm. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the actual measured values of the amount of deflection with respect to the span in the case of the equipment under the above conditions.
This shows that the amount of deflection is approximately 5 mm in the case of . In general, in the case of a non-contact type, the detection capability limit, which takes into account the accuracy of the angle of incidence of the sound beam projected from the probe 13 to the inspected material 11, is that the so-called misalignment amount, that is, the above-mentioned deflection amount, is 2 mm. Therefore, in this case, the amount of deflection exceeds the detection capability limit, and rotating UST cannot be used.

4 causes vibration, water shortage and misalignment occur, causing a suspicious indication signal in the detected value, and the rotating UST
There have been cases where the function of the device has been lost.

問題があつた。 As described above, in the conventional rotary UST device, the longer the rotating body is, the more the amount of deflection due to its own weight increases, and when the material 11 to be inspected is a thin and lightweight material, water leakage of the couplant 14 at the tube end or There were problems such as loss of flaw detection function due to misalignment due to vibration.
