On-Line Monitoring of Pipe Wall Thinning by a High Temperature Ultrasonic Waveguide System at the Flow Accelerated Corrosion Proof Facility
Pipe wall thinning and leakage due to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) are important safety concerns for nuclear power plants. A shear horizontal ultrasonic pitch/catch technique was developed for the accurate monitoring of the pipe wall-thickness. A solid couplant should be used to ensure high qual...
