IRIS探头
    发布时间: 2019-05-22 00:00    

内置旋转检测系统(IRIS)探头非常适合于石油化工和核电厂配套设施(BOP)的管道检测。这些探头以螺旋扫查的方式使用超声波对管道的内壁进行扫查,这样可以保证检测到管体的整个长度。 IRIS探头使用脉冲回波模式,测量壁厚、材料减薄情况,并探测出内径在0.5英寸到3英寸之间的缺陷方向。

IRIS探头

The internal rotary inspection system (IRIS) probes are well suited for petrochemical and balance-of-plant (BOP) tube inspections. They use an ultrasonic beam to scan the internal surface of the tube in helicoidal patterns, ensuring that the full length of the tube is tested. The IRIS probes operate in pulse-echo mode to measure wall thickness, material loss, and defect orientation within the range of 0.5 in. to 3 in. ID.

Various components are necessary to "build" an IRIS probe. The components are interchangeable and must be chosen according to the tube dimensions.

To build an IRIS probe, the following components are necessary:

  • Turbine head (TUA)
  • Ultrasound transducer (TUB)
  • Centering device (TUC)
  • Probe cable (TUD).

TUA -Turbine headsSonde_Tube_IRIS_TUA-170.psd

IRIS turbines are propelled by water pressure to make them rotate at approximately 40 r/s. They include a 45° angled mirror that deflects the ultrasonic beam towards the tube wall.

TUA-170 U8780158 17 mm (0.67 in.) IRIS turbine

TUB - Ultrasound transducersSonde_Tube_IRIS_TUB-254_01.psd

IRIS transducers are focused immersion transducers with an external diameter of 3/8 in. (9.53 mm) and an element diameter of 1/4 in. (6.35 mm). They are available in 3 different central frequencies and 2 focal lengths.

TUD - Probe cables

Sonde_Tube_IRIS_TUD-N_01.psd

IRIS probe cables have two functions: they supply the water pressure required by the turbine; and they carry the ultrasonic signal with the use of a small coaxial cable. The coaxial cable has a Microdot connector on the probe end and a BNC connector on the instrument / pump end. The water is supplied by the pump through a quick-connect 1/8 in. brass fitting.
