The most complete overview of NDE technology existing today. Entirely international in scope. Many challenges still confront the nuclear and pressure vessel industries concerning the integrity of the structures. More economical design and maintenance is needed. Prevention of service failures remains critical. Fabrication and operation calls for constant improvement. And plant life management is becoming more exacting every day. This vital resource book, covering the most recent conference proceeding held in Kyoto, Japan, gives you the latest findings and uses of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) currently employed to meet the ever increasing demands being placed on this industry. Truly international in outlook, it presents nearly 100 papers from England, Scotland, Germany, France, Belgium, Sweden, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Spain, Japan, Taiwan, Canada, and the United States. Of primary importance are performance-demonstration initiatives (PDI), control drive-rod mechanism penetration, weld inspection, and the inspection of steam generator tubes, turbines, pressure vessels, and bimetallic welds.Contents include: Role of NDE, X-Ray Technology, Piping and Major Components, Reactor Pressure Vessel Inspection, Advanced Ultrasonic Inspection Technologies, Performance Demonstration Initiative and Inspection Qualification Approaches, Electro-Magnetic Technologies, Advanced Inspection Technologies, Material Characterization, Steam Generators, BWR Reactor Pressure Vessel Inspection Modelling for NDE Inspections, Turbine Inspection, Stress Management, and Control Rod Drive Mechanism.
The proceedings of a conference organized by the European Commission Joint Research Centre Institute of Advanced Materials. The conference was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in October 1998 and covered all aspects of this highly important subject including links between structural integrity requirements and NDE performance. The development of performance demonstration / qualification for NDE systems and experiance of their application in practice feature prominently. Development of improved NDE systems, new methods of NDE and methods for assessing NDE performance such as modeling are also included.
These Proceedings, consisting of Parts A and B, contain the edited versions of most of the papers presented at the annual Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation held at University of San Diego, San Diego, CA, on July 27 to August 1, 1997. The Review was organized by the Center for NDE at Iowa State University, in cooperation with the Ames Laboratory of the USDOE, the American Society of Nondestructive Testing, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Science Foundation IndustrylUniversity Cooperative Research Centers. This year's Review of Progress in QNDE was attended by approximately 370 participants from the US and many foreign countries who presented a total of approximately 350 papers. As usual, the meeting was divided into 36 sessions with four sessions running concurrently. The Review covered all phases of NDE research and development from fundamental investigations to engineering applications and inspection systems, and methods of inspection science from acoustics to x-rays. The Review continues to experience some fluctuations in size, mostly under pressure from a decrease in funding for NDE research at the US Federal level, but increased participation from foreign laboratories has more than made up the difference. The Review is ideally sized to permit a full-scale overview of the latest developments in a collegial atmosphere that most participants favor. The opening plenary session this year concentrated on advances in imaging technologies and methodologies that have been made in recent years. Dr. K.
Eddy current testing is a key technology among electromagnetic non-destructive testings at present and this situation was motivated by a stringent need to detect small cracks in tubing of a steam generator of nuclear power plants. In these five years the ECT technology has been enhanced very much, demonstrating that high performanced sensors for ECT are now ready to be applied to the annual inspection of steam generator tubing with use of arrayed micro sensors for ECT. In addition to the innovative technology, an inversion technique is being theoretically developed to make reconstruction of defects possible with use of data from the arrayed sensors. Rapid growth of interest in electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation have brought together experts from different parts of the world, as reflected in this work. The book is intended for engineers, researchers and practitioners working in the area of electromagnetism.
