When I perform PAUT for the weld (butt weld) with two thickness (Ex. pipe to elbow or T-pipe) by sector scan 35 - 70 degree, I make two scan plans: - One for lower thicknes - One for higher thickness But the data came from higher thickness (elbow, T-pipe) not exactly. Can you explain and show me the way to improve inspection for this weld. Thanks in advance for your help !    Reply  Translate  Close   Rupam Rupam 18:09 Mar-30-2018 Re: PAUT In Reply to Vu at 16:50 Mar-30-2018 (Opening). There is thickness variation in both sides. So in higher thickness side, grinding is done in ID face to make proper root fitup. So its difficult to know at what ratio thickness is reducing. And you will not get expected reflection from ID surface . Thats why sometimes you will get indication inside the weld zone which is geometry actually.    Reply  Translate  Close   Vu NDT Inspector, Vietnam, Joined Sep 2017, 3 Vu NDT Inspector, Vietnam, Joined Sep 2017 3 15:55 Apr-06-2018 Re: PAUT In Reply to Rupam at 18:09 Mar-30-2018 .

For this kind of joints, I think TOFD will be more helpful than PAUT. In PAUT there will be chance of misinterpretation.    Reply  Translate  Close
