OmniSX - MX2 - Training - 14H - Phased Array Analysis - Flaw Characterization

The document provides an overview of flaw characterization using phased array ultrasonic testing. It discusses that flaw characterization involves identifying flaw types based on location, imaging, and failure mechanism. Planar flaws like lack of fusion appear sharp in A-scans while volumetric flaws like porosity appear longer. Experience is important for proper characterization. Examples are provided to demonstrate characterizing slag lines, cracks, and porosity using A-scan, B-scan, C-scan, and S-scan imaging.

Phased Array Analysis – Flaw Characterization

V4.3R2
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – Analysis – Flaw Characterization Overview
 Flaw characterization is defined as the ability to identify flaw types and geometry
based on failure mechanism, location, and imaging.
 Knowledge of the weld process is extremely helpful. You can eliminate porosity or
slag as a possibility for processes that do not produce them.
 For some weld bevel types and processes typical of the pipeline industry >90% of
the defects are either lack of side wall fusion or inadequate penetration.
 In-service inspections are typically for cracks and metal loss. Although cracks can
occur in any environment new construction welds are primarily for fabrication
defects such as IP, LOF, LOSWF, slag, porosity, etc.
 It is normally necessary to have participated in the data acquisition to be proficient in
the analysis due to differences in weld processes and inspection conditions from
one job to another. The exception to this is factory or fabrication facilities were
welds of the same process, configuration, and size are inspected repeatedly.
 There is no substitute for experience. The benefit of analysis on welds for which the
inspector is familiar or for which testing was performed on notches or SDHs in the
weld cannot be overcome with software features and training.
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – Analysis – A-scan \ S-scan Imaging
 Weld flaws can be classified as either planer or volumetric based on their unique A-
scan imaging and characterization.
 Volumetric flaws such as slag, porosity, and cracks with multiple ligaments will be
characterized in the A-scan as having a long rise and fall time on the time base.
(Also called a long echo dynamic)
 Volumetric flaws are characterized by multiple peaks and facets of varying
amplitude typically embedded in the middle volume of the weld.
 Volumetric flaws are often best detected in the second leg skipping off the inner
surface. Volumetric flaw example (Porosity cluster)
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – Analysis – A-scan \ S-scan Imaging cont.
 Planer flaws such as inadequate penetration, lack of root fusion, lack of side wall
fusion, will be characterized in the A-scan as having a very short rise and fall time or
short echo dynamic on the time base.
 Planer flaws are characterized by high amplitude sharp signals that are orientation
dependent and fall rapidly upon probe skew.
 Planer flaws can be embedded or surface connected and are most likely to generate
a sharp tip diffracted signal for precision measurements.

Planer flaw example (Lack of fusion)


OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – Analysis – A-scan \ S-scan Imaging
 The benefit of traditional conventional UT A-scan characterization techniques
combined with the color imaging and volumetric location that is available in the
phased array S-scan makes for a powerful inspection that is less dependent on the
skill and experience of the inspector.
 Differentiating between planer and volumetric defects can often be the deciding
factor for a repair given that planer flaws represent a more serious defect with tighter
sizing criteria.
 No single factor should weigh more heavily than location while characterizing flaws
and separating them from geometric indications.

Volumetric flaw example (Acceptable porosity cluster) Planer flaw example (Rejectable SW lack of fusion)
OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – Analysis – Flaw Characterization Overview
 The 3 primary indicators in determining flaw type in typical weld inspections in
descending order or priority are:
1. Flaw location.
2. A-scan and S-scan imaging and characterization.
3. When accessible and available, was the flaw detected from both sides of the weld?

 What type of flaw is pictured below and why?


OmniScan SX\MX2 Training – Analysis – Flaw Characterization Overview cont.
 No single factor should weigh more heavily than its location. In this case based on
the flaw occurring in the middle volume of the weld and its appearance in the A-scan
and S-scan, porosity or slag is suspected.
 Slag and porosity are volumetric defects that will produce a longer echo dynamic or
rise and fall time on the A-scan time base.
 Orientation and low amplitude relative to its size is counter indicative of non fusion
so a volumetric defect is suspected.
 If the probe can be
skewed slightly from
side to side, confirm
volumetric defect by
long A-scan echo
dynamic and
multiple peaks of
varying amplitude.
