- Overview: STATIONARY RAIL FLAW DETECTOR ON PHASED ARRAY (PA) FOR RAIL WELDING ENTERPRISE (RWE) Designed for acceptance ultrasonic inspection of welded joints of electric contact welding of railway rails in the conditions of rail welding enterprises
KALMAR 32+ RWE
In real time, a "B" scan is formed on the screen of the flaw detector in the form of a rail contour with defect parameters: coordinates, location in the section of the weld, conditional dimensions, detection coefficient.
A detailed analysis of all signals is available in the "A" and "S" scans.
Flaw diagram of the results of inspection of the welded joint
Flaw detection details A, B, S-scan mode
Schematic representation of the paths of individual beams
The control parameters are set using the CO-3P instrument in a semi-automatic mode
Information is presented in B and D scans
Defectoscopic data analysis is conducted in A and S scans. The determination of flaw dimensions and their coordinates is done automatically
Supplementary inspection is carried out using a manual detector of phased arrays with an entry angle range of 36-75 degrees. The inspection results are recorded in the form of defectograms in the protocol
