The main standards relating to AUT (Automated Ultrasonic Testing) using zonal discrimination have long had requirements to incorporate separate channels dedicated to detecting volumetric flaws. However, none of the standards specify how the beams are to be configured. The instructions are quite generic indicating that the channels are to ensure the complete volumetric examination of the weld through-thickness. Scattering flat bottom hole targets in a calibration block such that they evenly distribute in the volume is not a guarantee that the target placement provides the required complete volume coverage. This paper illustrates how the Coverage component of the CIVA AUT module helps to identify the best placement of volumetric targets in an AUT Zonal Discrimination procedure and prevents target redundancy. |
