An ultrasonic flaw detector including an ultrasonic probe for emitting an ultrasonic wave on an object to be inspected and receiving a reflected ultrasonic wave from the object, a drive element control unit for controlling a plurality of ultrasonic elements to emit an ultrasonic wave from the ultrasonic probe and to control a reflected ultrasonic wave from the object, and a calculation unit for obtaining, by using a refraction angle of the ultrasonic wave at a time of the ultrasonic wave entering the object, an incident position of the ultrasonic wave on a surface of the object, and a surface shape of a surface of the object at the incident position, the incident angle of the ultrasonic wave entering the incident position, and obtaining a plurality of ultrasonic elements to be driven, based on the incident position and the incident angle.

Ultrasonic flaw detector and ultrasonic flaw detecting method

An ultrasonic test equipment includes: a signal generating mechanism that generates a voltage waveform; an ultrasonic transmitting mechanism that excites ultrasonic vibrations having a lower frequency than a predetermined frequency to an object to be tested; an ultrasonic receiving mechanism that receives an ultrasonic response from the object to be tested; an AD converting mechanism that digitizes the received ultrasonic waveform; an analyzing mechanism that performs frequency analysis of the digital ultrasonic waveform digitized by the AD converting mechanism; an evaluating mechanism that extracts a variation of a nonlinear ultrasonic component from a frequency component of the digital ultrasonic wave obtained by the frequency analysis, compares the variation with defect data information in a defect information database, identifies a physical quantity of defect information of the object to be tested, and evaluates a defect in the object to be tested; and a control mechanism that partly or entirely controls a measurement system.

Ultrasonic test equipment and evaluation method thereof

A welding inspection method has steps of: generating transmission laser light for generating an ultrasonic wave and transmitting the transmission laser light to an object to be inspected during or after welding operation for irradiation; generating reception laser light for detecting an ultrasonic wave and transmitting the reception laser light to the object to be inspected for irradiation; collecting laser light scattered and reflected at surface of the object to be inspected; performing interference measurement of the laser light and obtaining an ultrasonic signal; and analyzing the ultrasonic signal obtained by the interference measurement. At least one of the transmission laser light generated in the transmission laser light irradiation step and the reception laser light generated in the reception laser light irradiation step is irradiated onto a welded metal part or a groove side surface.

Welding inspection method and apparatus thereof

In a radiation detecting apparatus, an &agr; ray and &bgr; ray are transmitted through a light shielding film but an incident light is shielded. A first light is emitted from a first scintillator by the &agr; ray transmitted through the light shielding film. The first scintillator has an emission center wavelength based on the &agr; ray. A second light is emitted in a second scintillator by the &bgr; ray transmitted through the light shielding film. The second scintillator has an emission center wavelength based on the &bgr; ray. The first and second lights are detected by two photo-detectors, respectively. The first emission center wavelength and the second emission center wavelength are different from each other.

Radiation detecting apparatus

A horizontal type of open-reel magnetic tape drive unit automatically clamps a tape reel in a drive section after the reel is inserted, then separates the free end of the tape from the reel, and guides the free end of the tape along a tape transport path to be wound onto a take-up hub, and also having a tape beginning and end detection device along the path, with these separation and guidance operations being performed by a small number of high pressure air jets. Pressure sealing of the unit is unnecessary, and the overall configuration is simple and easily manufactured.
