International Classification:

G01N 29/265
G01N 29/04

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatus for ultra-sonic inspection of a surface are described. An example system may include an inspection robot structured to move in a direction of travel on an inspection surface. The inspection robot may include a payload including a first ultrasonic (UT) phased array and a second UT phased array, the first UT phased array and the second UT phased array being arranged in a parallel configuration. The inspection robot may include a rastering device structured to move the payload in a direction of inspection, the direction of inspection being distinct from the direction of travel and the direction of inspection being distinct from the parallel configuration of the first UT phased array and the second UT phased array.

International Classification:

G01N 29/265
G01N 29/04

Abstract:

Systems for assessment of weld adjacent heat affected zones are described. An example system may include an inspection robot having a first payload comprising a first plurality of ultrasonic (UT) phased arrays, and a second payload comprising a second plurality of ultrasonic (UT) phased arrays. The inspection robot is configured to move in a direction of travel corresponding to a weld of an inspection surface, and the first payload is structured to measure characteristics of a first region of the inspection surface on a first side of the weld while the second payload is structured to measure characteristics of a second region of the inspection surface on a second side of the weld.

International Classification:

G01N 29/265
G01N 29/04

Abstract:

Robotic systems for surface inspection with simultaneous measurements at multiple orientations are described. An example inspection system may include a robot for traversing an inspection surface, the robot having an inspection payload to support an inspection element with two phased array UT elements, the first phased array at a first surface orientation and the second phased array at a second surface orientation, both orientations relative to the inspection surface. Each of the inspection elements includes a couplant connection structured to receive couplant from the robot. The inspection further includes a tether fluidly coupling a couplant source to the robot.

International Classification:

G01N 29/265
G01N 29/04

Abstract:

Robotic inspection devices for simultaneous surface measurements at multiple orientations are described. An example inspection device includes a robot and a first payload, where the robot is structured to move along an inspection surface in a first direction of travel. The first payload includes a first inspection assembly structured to support two phased array elements. The first phased array element has a first surface orientation and a first directional orientation, and the second phased array element has a second surface orientation and a second directional orientation. A raster device is structured to move the first inspection assembly in a second direction of travel along the inspection surface, wherein the first direction of travel and the second direction of travel are different.

International Classification:

G01N 29/265
G01N 29/04

Abstract:

Robotic systems for ultrasonic surface inspection using shaped elements are described. An example system may have an inspection robot structured to move in a direction of travel on an inspection surface. The inspection robot may include: a payload having a first ultrasonic (UT) phased array and a second UT phased array, a rastering device operatively coupled to the payload, and structured to execute reciprocating motion of the payload, and a means for inspecting a weld affected region of the inspection surface on three (3) axes of inspection.

International Classification:

G01N 29/265
G01N 29/04

Abstract:

Robotic systems for rapid ultrasonic surface inspection are described. An example system may have an inspection robot to move in a direction of travel on an inspection surface. The robot may have a payload with a first and a second ultrasonic (UT) phased array, and a rastering device that executes a reciprocating motion of the payload. The system may have an inspection controller with a positioning circuit to provide an inspection position command, an inspection circuit to provide a rastering position command and an interrogation command. The robot is responsive to the inspection position command to move to an inspection position, and the rastering device is responsive to the rastering position command to move the payload through at least a portion of a range of reciprocating motion. The UT phased arrays are responsive to the interrogation command to perform an inspection on three axes of inspection.

International Classification:

E21B 37/02
E21B 33/03

Abstract:

A method includes inserting a flexible cable into a cleaning region of a channel of a component via a cleaning port, rotating the flexible cable about an axis within the channel to interact a tip with deposits disposed within the cleaning region of the channel, moving the flexible cable within the cleaning region of the channel along a length of the channel, and removing portions of the deposits from the cleaning region of the channel via a second port. The flexible cable includes the axis and the tip. A diameter of the tip is different than a diameter of the flexible cable. The tip is configured to loosen the portions of the deposits.
