26、for Nondestructive Examinations SAE J2592 Revised MAY2013 Page 4 of 9 3. TYPES OF NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING 3.1 Eddy Current Testing Eddy currents are the motion of electrons in a tube caused by a magnetic field generated by an alternating current in a nearby coil. In most applications where tubing is

27、being tested, the tubing is passed through or nearby the coil arrangement, which can be encircling, in a semi-circle or a probe coil. As the tubing passes, the eddy currents are influenced by the characteristics of the metal, which include, conductivity, magnetic permeability, geometry, mass and hom

28、ogeneity. Defects and flaws are detected by abnormal interruptions of the features being monitored and the electromagnetic system records the abnormalities as flaws. In most tube mill operations, the detection of a flaw in the tubing being manufactured automatically shuts down the mill, the flaw is

29、removed, a correction action is determined and initiated, and then the mill is restarted. 3.1.1 Direct Sensing Method or Absolute Method The strength of the eddy currents in the tubing being tested are exponentially proportional to the fill factor or lift-off factor (the amount of the area inside of

30、 the generating coil or the distance of the coil from the tubing being tested) and the excitation frequency. Once the flaw breaks the flow of electrons (eddy current), a sensing coil detects the difference, therefore resulting in the detection of the flaw. The characteristic that the eddy current se

31、nses can be studied by changes in amplitude (strength of signal), distribution and phase of the eddy currents. This method is preferred to detect long or continuous defects. Short or abrupt flaws might not be detected with the absolute method. 3.1.2 Comparison or Differential Method Eddy current tes

32、ting systems can be arranged to compare one section of tubing being tested to a section of tubing with known acceptable characteristics directly adjacent to it, therefore, providing an acceptable or an unacceptable comparison or differential. This method is preferred to find short or abrupt flaws. 3

33、.1.3 Surface Phenomenon Eddy current flow is generally more of a surface phenomenon and the sensitivity to finding flaws below the surface decreases with depth. The depth of penetration also decreases exponentially with increase in frequency. Frequency excitation, magnetic saturation and filtering c

34、an be used to increase sensitivity to subsurface flaws. 3.1.4 Maximizing Eddy Current Setup In any eddy current test setup, it can be difficult to separate flaw signals from noise or vibration. The eddy current setup can be maximized by the following. 3.1.4.1 Proper coil setup. 3.1.4.2 Selection of

35、the proper settings (test frequency, magnetic saturation and filtering). 3.1.4.3 Selection of the proper analysis circuit. 3.1.4.4 Proper testing location in the manufacturing process. 3.1.4.5 Demagnetization of the tubing is preferred after eddy current testing to prevent any shavings, chips or oth

36、er ferrous particles from being attracted to the tubing. The most common way to demagnetize the tubing is draw it through a high intensity alternating current solenoid. 3.1.5 Advantages of Eddy Current Testing 3.1.5.1 Not dependent on defect orientation. 3.1.5.2 Suitable for high production of small

37、 diameter and light wall steel tubing. SAE J2592 Revised MAY2013 Page 5 of 9 3.1.5.3 Well suited for detection of short bond-plane weld defects. 3.1.5.4 Detection of subsurface cracks. 3.1.5.5 No couplant required. 3.1.6 Disadvantages of Eddy Current Testing 3.1.6.1 Can be influenced by non-injuriou

38、s attributes such as hardness, surface condition, grain size, etc. 3.1.6.2 Lacks subsurface sensitivity in heavy wall tube. 3.1.6.3 Can require demagnetization after testing. 3.1.6.4 3.1.6.5 Permeability variations. 3.2 Flux Leakage Testing Flux leakage testing is used to detect surface or near surf

39、ace flaws such as pits, holes, cracks or seams in ferromagnetic tube materials only. Flux leakage testing is performed by magnetizing the tubing, which produces a north and south pole at each side of the flaw. When the flaw is present, the magnetic flux lines are forced to travel through the air at

40、the location of the flaw, causing a leakage of flux. The magnetic flux field is induced into the tubing by applying an electric current into the tube by means of encircling coil or probe coil. The magnetic field induced into the tube needs to be perpendicular to the anticipated flaw. Any discontinui

41、ty in the tubing creates a leakage of flux at the surface of the part. The flaws are detected by the following two types of sensors. 3.2.1 Coil Type Sensor Used to detect short flaws. 3.2.2 Hall Element Used to detect gradual flaws. 3.2.3 Demagnetization Demagnetization of the tubing is preferred an

42、d is usually required after flux leakage testing to prevent any shavings, chips or other ferrous particles from being attracted to the tubing. The most common way to demagnetize the tubing is draw it through a high intensity alternating current solenoid. 3.2.4 Advantages of Flux Leakage Testing 3.2.

45、 for short, small cracks. 3.2.5.5 Permeability variations. 3.3 Ultrasonic Testing Ultrasonic testing is made possible due to the ability of solid materials to transmit high frequency sound waves. The amount of sound that a material can transmit is based on different physical properties such as densi

46、ty, modulus and grain size. Ultrasonic tests involve introducing controlled sound waves or ultrasonic energy into the tubing and observing how the passage of the sound is affected. Any defect in the tubing reflects or disperses energy. These reflections or dispersions of energy are detected by the u

47、ltrasonic system and are recorded as flaws. 3.3.1 Types of Ultrasonic Testing 3.3.1.1 Pulse Echo Emits short burst of energy into the tubing, measures the amount of energy reflected back to the transducer. If the transducer receives energy, from a certain point, then a flaw is detected. The minimum

48、thickness that the pulse can scan is 0.254 mm. 3.3.1.2 Through Testing A continuous amount of ultrasonic energy is emitted into the tubing and a secondary transducer compares the energy transmitted, also known as the pitch and catch method. 3.3.1.3 Liquid Couplant Contact Testing Technique Contact testing requires the transducer be placed directly on the tubing with a liquid couplant placed between the transducer and tubing. This requires a smooth finish on the tubing. 3.3.2 Advantages of Ultrasonic Testing 3.3.2.1 Excellent subsurface sensitivity in heavy wall tubular products. 3.3.2.
