ALBERTO MENCARELLI BLOCCO 19.5 mm Non Destructive Inspection

Pag. 1 a 7

On the left side of radiography one indication is missing because of the orientation of indication, but clear

in TOFD scan, at 160mm a suface indication only 1 mm deep is lost because of TOFD surface dead zone.

This set up can help to use a short range of focus, and avoid generating a false indication when the beam

catch root penetration or bottom cap in x preparation.

The following scan show root indication clearly in both TOFD and PA

The following scan show toe indication clearly only in PA but undetectable by TOFD because the lateral

wave dead zone

The following scan show subsurface indication clearly in both TOFD and PA but with better response on

TOFD because are not conditioned by orientation of indication.

I hope this presentation can clear the Client how much it is important reduce radiography test and

improve advance ultrasonic test, immediate responses, less cost and more safety is the goal of ultrasound.

Do not hesitate to ask information about Your specific requirement.
