PV200 Description
♦ PV200 is a generic description for a weld inspection package utilizing Phased Array and Tofd techniques.
♦ Package tools are determined predominately by wall thickness and code compliance
![Page 7: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PV200 Technique
♦ PV200 incorporates Phased Array ultrasonics
♦ PV200 usually also incorporates Tofd
♦ In some case other techniques like Creeping waves may be required but it is less common
![Page 8: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Technique Overview: Brief Phased Array and Tofd Theory
![Page 9: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is Phased Array?♦ Advanced Ultrasonic technique
used for flaw detection, sizing, and imaging.
♦ Allows for electrical manipulation of probe characteristics by introducing time shifts to sent and received signals
♦ Utilizes multi-element (array) probes for increased capabilities over conventional ultrasonics.
![Page 10: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Advantages of Phased Array♦ Electronic scanning (raster) possible
without moving probe. (linear or E-scans scans)
♦ Increased control of beam characteristics.
♦ Simultaneous inspection with multitude of angles using one probe (sector scanning)
♦ Can better inspect complex geometries or limited access areas.
♦ Can replace costly and hazardous radiography applications.
![Page 11: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sector Scans Phased Array Sector Scan Channel - Defined as different focal laws
(A-scans) at different angles being generated by the same group of elements on the same channel.
Sector Scan Advantages� Allows use of small probes and
provides large coverage area from small footprint
� Provides higher level of detection, flaw sizing and flaw characterization
� Can provide full volumetric inspection in one channel\one acquisition on most welds thinner than 25mm
� Flaw detection and sizing less dependent on orientation due to multi-angle coverage
![Page 12: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Linear or E-scans Scans
Phased Array Linear (E-Scan) Channel - Defined as the same focal law (A-scan) being multiplexed across a series of different elements resulting in the equivalent of a conventional raster scan.
Linear (E-scan) Advantages� 1:1 match for conventional UT raster
scans and procedures. Only different in how the data is acquired. Analysis is exactly the same.
� Provides fast and easy set up and calibration for amplitude based inspection criteria.
� Easy analysis for codes that do not require flaw characterization
![Page 13: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Encoded Phased Array
♦ Phased Array can offer a high level of detection and sizing capability and retainable data.

TOFD
� Uses send and receive probes
� The incoming wave vibrates the defect and emits energy in all directions
� The receiver gets one or more signals from the defect
![Page 15: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Wave Propagation
FLAW
Diffractedwaves
Diffractedwaves
Incidentwave
Reflectedwave
All directions - Low energy - Independent of incidence angle
![Page 16: PV (Pressure Vessel) 200 Series Description](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a6960b1a28ab752d8b459e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TOFD Limitations
� Blind areas :
– Near surface The lateral wave travels below the surface, it is not a surface wave causing a small “dead zone” near the surface
– Back wall Large signal from reflected energy at the back wall creates a dead zone as well

Radiography Replacement
♦ The PV series is suitable for codes where radiography replacement by ultrasonics is allowed
♦ Some of the benefits include no radiation hazards to contend with, no need to stop other productions, and height sizing
