INSPECTION EQUIPMENTS AND SYSTEM TO BE USED Omniscan MX with manual handheld scanner for phased array technique on butt weld. ADVANTAGE OF PHASED ARRAY (a) Handheld scanner provides repeatable and faster scanning and eliminates the coupling/contact problems inherent to manual scanning. Computerized data acquisition provides all the advantages not available in manual system or manual probe scanning.

(b) The handheld scanner is on running on magnetic wheels. (c) Scanning can be carried out on piping that is in-service or off-service provided the service temperature is not exceeding 50C and not insulated. (d) This scanning speed is dependence on the scanning configuration used and overlapping of scanning path and coverage. Other factors that may affect the scanning speed are size & thickness of weld, location and height, scanning surface condition, condition at site, physical obstructions, presence of flaw of concern etc. (e) The Phased Array computerized system combined with ToFD minimized unnecessary repair or major flaw being missed. 4.0 CODES COMPLIANCE. 3.1 3.2 5.0 Procedures and Techniques - ASME Section V and Appendices. Compliance with ASME B31.3 Case 181

PROPOSED PHASED ARRAY AND TIME-OF-FLIGHT-DIFFRACTION (TOFD) 5.1 5.2 The whole volume of the weld shall be inspected using Phased Array technique Additional scanning using TOFD technique to be performs together with Phased Array scanning

DATA ACQUISITION AND REPORTING FOR UT PHASED ARRAY AND ToFD 6.1 Acquired data during scanning will be stored in the computer. In-situ and post-inspection data evaluation will be carried out. 6.2 For UT Phased Array, typical result presentation is in color print out.For ToFD, typical result presentation is in grey color. 6.3 Identification of the weld, a sketch of the weld and the datum for the flaw, if any, will be provided. 6.4 The flaw shall be marked on the pipe adjacent to the flaw to facilitate repair works.
