High-temperature ultrasonic thickness monitoring for pipe thinning in a flow-accelerated corrosion proof test facility

In order to monitor the pipe thinning caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) that occurs in coolant piping systems, a shear horizontal ultrasonic pitch-catch waveguide technique was developed for accurate pipe wall thickness monitoring. A clamping device for dry coupling contact between the end...
