Abstract
Ultrasonic pipeline crack inspection systems and methods can include a housing with an elongate body; a plurality of slots on a circumferential surface of the elongate body; and a plurality of square cross-section ultrasonic transducers (UTs) positioned in the corresponding the plurality of slots. A controller operatively coupled to the plurality of square cross-section UTs causes each UT of the plurality of square cross-section UTs to transmit a respective ultrasonic beam through the fluid flowed through the pipeline towards a wall of the pipeline, to receive a respective reflection of each ultrasonic beam transmitted by each square cross-section UT, and to process respective ultrasonic beam and each respective reflection of each ultrasonic beam to analyze a crack in the wall of the pipeline.
