The difference of UDT and EDT :

The principle is different

1. Ultrasonic flaw detection: Use ultrasonic energy to penetrate deep into the metal material, and when one section enters another section, the characteristic of reflection at the edge of the interface is used to inspect the defects of the parts.

2. Eddy current flaw detection: Use the excitation coil to generate eddy current in the conductive member, and measure the change of the eddy current with the help of the detection coil, so as to obtain the relevant information of the component defect.

Different uses

1. Ultrasonic flaw detection: It can be used both in the laboratory and on the engineering site. This instrument can be widely used in manufacturing, iron and steel metallurgy, metal processing, chemical industry and other fields that require defect detection and quality control. It is also widely used in in-service safety inspections in aerospace, railway transportation, boilers and pressure vessels, etc. And life assessment. It is a must in the non-destructive testing industry.

2. Eddy current flaw detection: It is only suitable for conductive materials, and can only detect defects on the surface or near the surface layer, which is inconvenient to use for components with complex shapes. In thermal power plants, it is mainly used to inspect condenser tubes, steam turbine blades, steam turbine rotor center holes and welds, etc.

Overview

Application

It is mainly used to make high-quality carbon structural steel, alloy structural steel and stainless heat-resistant steel seamless steel pipes for high pressure and above steam boiler pipes.

Mainly used for high pressure and high temperature service of boiler(Superheater tube, reheater tube, air guide tube, main steam tube for high and ultra high pressure boilers). Under the action of high temperature flue gas and water vapor, the tube will oxidize and corrode. It is required that the steel pipe has high durability, high resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and good structural stability.

Main Grade

Grade of high-quality carbon structural steel: 20g、20mng、25mng

Grade of alloy structural steel: 15mog、20mog、12crmog、15crmog、12cr2mog、12crmovg、12cr3movsitib, etc

Grade of rust-resistant heat-resistant steel: 1cr18ni9     1cr18ni11nb

Tolerance

Wall Thickness and Outter Diameter:

If there is no special requirements, pipe gonna be delivery as  norminal outter diameter and norminal wall thickness. As follow sheet

Length:

The usual length of steel pipes is 4 000 mm ~ 12 000 mm. After consultation between the supplier and the buyer, and fill in the contract, it can be delivered steel pipes with a length greater than 12 000 mm or shorter than I 000 mm but not shorter than 3 000 mm; short length The number of steel pipes less than 4,000 mm but not less than 3,000 mm shall not exceed 5% of the total number of steel pipes delivered

Delivery weight：
When the steel pipe is delivered according to the nominal outer diameter and nominal wall thickness or the nominal inner diameter and nominal wall thickness, the steel pipe is delivered according to the actual weight. It can also be delivered according to the theoretical weight.
When the steel pipe is delivered according to the nominal outer diameter and minimum wall thickness, the steel pipe is delivered according to the actual weight; the supply and demand parties negotiate. And it is indicated in the contract. The steel pipe can also be delivered according to the theoretical weight.

Weight tolerance：
According to the requirements of the purchaser, after consultation between the supplier and the purchaser, and in the contract, the deviation between the actual weight and the theoretical weight of the delivery steel pipe shall meet the following requirements:
a) Single steel pipe: ± 10%;
b) Each batch of steel pipes with a minimum size of 10 t: ± 7.5%.

Test Requirement

Hydraustatic Test:

The steel pipe should be tested hydraulically one by one. The maximum test pressure is 20 MPa. Under the test pressure, the stabilization time should be not less than 10 s, and the steel pipe should not leak.

After the user agrees, the hydraulic test can be replaced by eddy current testing or magnetic flux leakage testing.

Nondestructive Test：

Pipes that require more inspection should be ultrasonically inspected one by one. After the negotiation requires the consent of the party and is specified in the contract, other non-destructive testing can be added.

Flattening Test：

Tubes with an outer diameter greater than 22 mm shall be subjected to a flattening test. No visible delamination, white spots, or impurities should occur during the entire experiment.

Flaring Test:

 According to the requirements of the purchaser and stated in the contract, the steel pipe with outer diameter ≤76mm and wall thickness ≤8mm can be done flaring test . The experiment was performed at room temperature with a taper of 60 °. After the flaring, the flaring rate of the outer diameter should meet the requirements of the following table, and the test material must not show cracks or rips
