ULTRASONIC BRACELET PROBE DEVICE FOR THE INSPECTION OF TUBE BUTT WELDS

Tube butt welds in boilers were not subject to 100 percent inspection, and leakages at them were confirmed as a significant cause of boiler outage. Consequently, it was concluded that it would be feasible to inspect a complete weld with a circumferential array of angle probes--the bracelet probe device. Three regional laboratories had particular requirements and a full description of the devices developed to meet these is given. Also the extensive advantages offered by the bracelet probe device are listed.
