    1 Review Phase 2 Single Side Weld Inspection

    Uploaded by

    Deepjyoti Das
    This document summarizes a student's project on single sided weld inspection using time of flight diffraction (TOFD). The objectives are to experimentally investigate complex geometries using single sided TOFD and validate TOFD results. The methodology involves making a single sided TOFD setup, scanning samples with artificial defects, and validating results with single sided TOFD and phased array ultrasonic testing. Literature on single sided TOFD, TOFD modeling, improvements to TOFD, and using TOFD instead of traditional NDT is reviewed. Geometries like elbows and T-joints that cannot be inspected from both sides with TOFD are identified.

    Single sided TOFD
     In TOFD both sides access is needed to scan the
    welds.
     In single sided TOFD only one side access is
    required to scan the welds.
     Basically in TOFD complex geometry like
    elbow, flanges, T & J joint, nozzles etc. are not
    possible to scan from both sides .
