Unit IV
ULTRASONIC TESTING & AET Ultrasonic Testing: Types of ultrasonic waves, characteristics, attenuation, couplants, probes, EMAT. Inspection methods-pulse echo, transmission and phased array techniques, types of scanning and displays, angle beam inspection of welds, time of flight diffraction (TOFD) technique, Thickness determination by ultrasonic method, Study of A, B and C scan presentations, calibration.
Acoustic Emission Technique – Introduction, Types of AE signal, AE wave propagation, Source location, Kaiser effect, AE transducers, Principle, AE parameters, AE instrumentation, Advantages & Limitations, Interpretation of Results, Applications.
Unit V
RADIOGRAPHY TESTING Sources-X-rays and Gamma rays and their characteristics-absorption, scattering. Filters and screens, Imaging modalities-film radiography and digital radiography (Computed, Direct, Real Time, CT scan). Problems in shadow formation, exposure factors, inverse square law, exposure charts, Penetrameters, safety in radiography.
Course Outcomes:
After completion of this course, the students will be able to
- Realize the importance of NDT in various engineering fields.
- Have a basic knowledge of surface NDE techniques which enables to carry out various inspection in accordance with the established procedures.
- Calibrate the instrument and inspect for in-service damage in the components by means of Eddy current testing as well as Thermography testing.
- Differentiate various techniques of UT and AET and select appropriate NDT methods for better evaluation.
- Interpret the results of Radiography testing and also have the ability to analyse the influence of various parameters on the testing.
