if. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility fPHNSY&IMF) hosted the 9th Annual NDT Working Group Conference, 21 -23 April 2009 at the Hale Koa Hotel, in Honolulu, HI. Mr. Scott Tamayori of PHNSY&IMF was the event host and Mr. Ron Flaherty, NAVSEA 04XQ5, was the chairperson. Mr. Tetsu Omaye, Quality Assurance Director PWNSY&fMF, Mr. Gregory Ewelt, NAVSEA 04XQ and Mr. Ron Flaherty made opening remarks.

Mr. Tamayori welcomed the 82 attendees to the NDT Working Group and the Honolulu area. Mr. Ornaye greeted the attendees and discussed the importance of the NDT Working Group and the partnership between the contractors and the military. He emphasized the work that is done in the NOT community is invaluable to the mission of producing and maintaining suwivabfe ships while striving to reduce Navy NOT costs through new technologies such as Digital Radiographic Testing (RT). Next Mr. Ewell addressed the issue of having an effective NOT program that has concise methods and more standardization so that we as a group can work together to solve significant problems. He discussed the need to look forward and lean to new technologies that allow us to complete our goals. Further, he challenged participants to think about how we can best communicate the value of NDT in order to secure resources for more NDT

. .... . .. . .. . ..... perso.nn.et ..... Aftet:.thanking Mr. Omayeand Mr. Ewell, Mr. Flaherty gave an overview of the Working Group's objectives.

Parties in attendance represented Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Naval Shipyards (NAVSHIPYD), Supervisors of Shipbuilding (SUPSHI P), Naval Regional Maintenance Centers (RMC), Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), Ffeet Activities, American Bureau of Ships (ABS), and NDT contractors and suppliers familiar with NSTP-271.

Fourteen presentations were given on a diverse selection of NDT topics, some relating to standardization of practices in support of greater efficiencies and others on technofogical innovations, including simulation software for NDT. Mr. Tmayori maintained a running list of topics for further discussion, which resulted in "breakout sessions" by the cognizant parties and stakeholders conducted at the end of the conference.

The assembly concluded by abreeing to meet in 201 0 at Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, West Bethesda, MD.

Ill. PRESENTATIONS

T9074-AS-G1&010/271 Revision Undate: Dr. Kirsten Lipetzky (NAVSEA 05P24; NSTP-271 Technical Warrant Holder) and Mr. Russell Kok (Kok and Associates, Inc.) updated the assembly on the status of the forthcoming NSTP- 271 revision. They discussed a final draft release in June 2009 with a subsequent issue later in 2009. They also discussed the major changes incorporated and changes discussed but not incorporated into the revision. Mot incorporated was the allowance to use Selenium-75 (Se-75) as a new Radiographic Testing (RT) radioisotope source due to NAVSEA 08 reservations. NAVSEA 08 is requesting that more research and development be accomplished before blanket approval is granted. Some NSTP-271 changes undergoing final comment resolution are the NDT inspection of composite materials, the addition of an appendix for Ultrasonic Test inspection for characterization and sizing (UTCS), the allowance for an alternate method to acquire work-time-experience ( W E ) for initial quatiication, the restriction of Light Emitting Diode (LED) fighting for NOT inspections, the elimination of Liquid Penetrant Test (PT) inspection as one method to investigatdprove the relevancy of Magnetic Particle test (MT) inspection indications, and the increased intensity requirement for fluorescent lighting used from present 800 micro-watts to 1000 micro-watts.

MIL-STD-21135 Proposed Revision U~date: Mr. Bob Ossmann (Puget Sound Navaf Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility [PSNS&IMFJ) updated the assembly on the status uf the forthcoming proposed MIL-STD-2035 revision. There has been enthusiastic participation by all involved in the revision process, evidenced by the 102 change proposals thus far. He highlighted some of the changes made, including a definition for "design material thickness" to eliminate acceptance criteria confusion throughout the document, clarification of root contour acceptance criteria, elimination of the porosity chart figures for RT acceptance criiteria, added detail for the RT slag acceptance charts, removal of acceptance criteria for rounded indications in the MT section (moved to the PT section) and addition of acceptance criteria for UT of tee welds. DCMA Update on Batterv Operated DC Yokes: Mr. Ron Flaherty (NAVSEA 04XQ5) presented for Ms. Paula George (former Defense Contract Management Agency [DCMA] employee). Mr. Ffaherty presented an ovewiew of an extensive study performed on DC yokes in MT inspection. Ms. George's study revealed that DC yoke sensitivity varies, depending on the thickness of the part under inspection. As the thickness increases, the required indication of an adequate magnetic field in the area of inspection was present as evidenced by the segmented magnetic field indicator (pie gage). However, the bulk of the DC field penetrated deeper into the part under inspection rather than remaining on the surface of the part as is the case with an AC yoke field. This resulted in reduction in Indication size and/or the inability fa produce MT indications of known flaws open to the surface. The study resulted in h e recommendation to eiiminaee the use of DC pkes for MT inspection.

Enclosure (1 )

Amlication of Practical Factors to Suo~Jement Work-Time-Experience: Mr. Gordon Daviscourt (PSNSblMF) presented the PSNSUMF proposed alternative to the WTE currently required by NSTP-271. He suggested a flaw of the current requirement is that it only specifies a minimum number of WTE hours, while the assurance that trainee exposure to meaningfuf experience (i.e., a wide variety of flaws/indications) is overlooked. Due to time constraints, he presented details for only the PSNS&lMF proposed WTE alternative for the Visual Test (Vf) inspection method rather than for all NOT methods. PSNS&IMF proposes suppiementing a reduced number of required WTE hours with practical factors, a specific number of inspections in a specific variety of configuratbns and locations, to ensure quality WTE for initial qualification in any NDT method. The PSNS&IMF proposal indudes initial classroom training foliowed by the specified practical factors and a subsequent refresher training class.

Linht Emittina Diodes (LED) and its Impact on NDT: Mr. Thomas Quinn (General Dynamics - Electric Boat Division fGD-EBJ) presented this topic which included slides showing sided-by-side comparisons of various NDT inspections viewed using incandescent tights and also using LED lighting. The conctusion of Mr. Quinn's presentation was that no matter what tight source is used to view an item under inspection, inspectors must be conscious not to flood the inspection

... surface .with..light,. to..use a.variety of.1ighting angles to show all aspeds of the surface, and to ensure that a particular light color does not adversely reduce the PT or MT indication contrast with the background. An energetic question and answer session involving NAVSEA representatives and the rest of the assembly followed the presentation. Participants discussed details of the LED lighting approval process in a subsequent breakout session.

Status of NDTMleld Workmanship Proarams: Mr. Ran Flaherty presented a general overview of the current state of weld workmanship and NDT performance relative to government and privates sector shipyards and repair facilities. The presentation included slides depicting recent workmanship issues encountered by the Navy's Contract Administration Quality Assurance Program (CAQAP). Included were slides showing grossly rejectable PT and MT indications, missing welds and other grossly rejectable VT conditions. The presentation was a dramatic reminder of the importance of our jobs and NDT.

Digital Radioararrrhy: Mr. Jack Laws (Anawati 4 Associates) presented some advantages and disadvantages of Computed Radiography (CR) when compared with conventional RT. Advantages of CR include the elimination of hazardous materiaVwaste associated with film processing and dark room facilities, enhanced viewing abilities, exposures made at comparatively lower dose rates, digital data storage and transmission via e-maif, secure networks, etc., and originai raw data is rnaintairied. Some of the disadvantages discussed include no tangible film to hoid whifs viewing the radiograph and the initial disadvantage of heavy equipment needed to install at the facitity. In addition, a slide show of examptes of GRsoftwafe and hardwar0 capabifities was presented; foilowed by a practical demonstration.

8. Current Ap~lications of Oiaital Radiwra~hv within NAVSEA: Dr. Lipetzky and Mr. Kok presented some of the applications that NAVSEA is pursuing for the first of the phased-in use of digital RT. Among the applications being considered are pipe wall thickness measurements using digital RT instead of UT thickness to eliminate the cost associated with the removaUreplacement of lagging to conduct UT inspections. Afso included is inspection for blockage, pitting and corrosion detection.

9. Cornouted Radioqra~hv versus Conventional Film Evaluations: Mr. Dean Lavinder (Northrop Grurnman Shipbuilding Newport News [NGSB-NN]) presented this topic which focused on R&D performed at NGSB-NN using CR techniques. He addressed specifics of CR techniques for naval shipbuilding and repair inspections, including the use of special (-004" thick) Pb intensifying screens made by General Electric to filter lower energy x-rays. Using the thinner intensifying screens allows for lower energy exposures to prolong the life of the exposure plate. Mr. Lavinder afso pointed out that the current NSTP-271 already allows the use of filmless techniques for in-process inspections.

10. Gamma Radioara~hv Usina Selenium-75 (Se-751: Mr. Lavinder presented the results of NGSB-NN's extensive research evaluating Se-75 as an alternative RT source to iridium-t 92 (Ir-192). Some d'ierences of Se-75 when compared to Ir- 192 include:

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Longer half-life than lr-192 (1 19 days for Se-75 versus 75 days for lr-192). e Already licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission so active permits

would require onfy minor changes to implement use. Oiagonat dimension instead of length or diameter is the maximum effective radiation source dimension due to the source geometry. Softer, less penetrating energy than lr-I92 ( e l 0 kev for Se-75 versus ~206-612 kev for lr-1 92). About half the penetrating power of lr-192. 2.2 Whr/Ci versus 5.2 Whr/Ci for lr-192.

Mr. Lavinder concludes that Se-75 is more cost effective because of the need for smaller restricted areas due to the softer energy emitted by Se-75 versus lr-192. Similar quality to lr-192 is obtained in side-by-side comparison testing. Most items to be RT inspected (=I" total thickness in steel) may be radiographed using Se-75 with comparable results to Ir-592.

1 1. Phased Arrav Uitrasonic Testincl (PAUT) Undate on Cumbersome Work Practice CWPf Item 347 - Ultrasonic Testincr vice RadSoara~hic Testina for Pipe Weld Insmctions: Mr. Ole Hovland (PSNSgtlMF) and Mr. Ken Donn (PSNS&iMF) presented an update to CWP-347. Mr. Hovtand discussed the major chalfenges of developing acceptance criteria for PAUT of pipe wefds. He discussed the research done on large diameter pipe welds and the need to have a different Acceptance Criteria far pipe welds. He atso talked about adopting some commercial specifications (e.g., ASME standards) that have acceptance criteria. The discussion continued into the advantages and disadvantages for PAUT acceptance criteria. Mr. Hovland stated the next challenge would be to study the application for smaller, thinner pipe welds. Presentation material was based on work performed under the CWP Item # 347 for Pipe Weld UT, which is facilitated by NAVSEA 04X, to evafuate OT, especially PAUT capabilities

12. PAUT: Mr. Randy Jones (Inspection Technologies) presented a practical application demonstration of PAUT. The demonstration included visual screen presentations of various A-scan, 8-scan and C-scan views when performing PAUT.

13. Amfication of U7 in lieu of RT for New Construction Pi~inu Welds: Mr. Donald Hurst (Sonomatic Corp.) presented the European PAUT acceptance criteria specified in Code Case 181. The acceptance criteria are different than

. . . . . . . , . . . . . normal"UT ctifeiia because the Code Case criteria'is based the notion of good weld workmanship practices and on Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) derived from fracture mechanics. This Code Case aflows flaw evaluation based onthrough-watt extent vice strictly size/type of indication. Using the Code Case in a diligent, structured manner results in improved welding of product delivered in shorter time frames at reduced cost and without the radiation hazard associated with RT inspection. In addition, Mr. Hurst presented severai cases of UT probe placement limitations and Sonomatic Corp.'s specially adapted probes in conjunction with a combination of Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD), phased array and fixed beam pulse-echo UT to get around the placement limitations.

14. UINtate on ClVA Software for PAUT: Ms. E rim Schumacher (Magsoft Corporation) presented demonstrations of CIVA software capabilities, specifically UT inspections. The presentation also included advantages of Simulation software and an overview on how the software works. Erica explained that it can be used as a virtual test, which is portable when loaded on a laptop, used to optimize choice of equipment, to verify inspectability of part geometry, and as a useful tool for training and education. C1VA can be used as a tool for Uftrasonic, PAUT, Radiography (New Gamma and X-Ray), and Eddy Current inspection of parts made from a variety of materials. This software can be used to assist in deciding which inspection parameters to use without purchasing equipmsnt. There were questions and comments showing a positive response to the presentation.
