Case Studies with FMC TFM

From Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC), High Temperature Hydrogen Attack or HTHA, CS vessel welds to Dissimilar Metal Welds, this video from Mr. Guy Maes will introduce you to challenges of each inspection configuration along with results and important conclusions like:

• FMC TFM is only an additional tool in the phased array UT toolkit to improve flaw resolution and inspection coverage
• Active aperture and frame resolution are key parameters
• Choosing the right probe (wave mode, frequency) is required for a successful inspection
• PAUT and TOFD techniques can be complemented with TFM for characterization
