Sl. Vaulin et al., SPECIAL FEATURES OF MAGNETOGRAPHIC INSPECTION OF BUTT-WELDED SEAMS INMARITIME PIPELINES, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 29(3), 1993, pp. 225-229
The article describes some special features of magnetographic inspecti
on of annular butt-welded seams in maritime pipelines with 16-mm wall
thickness. It shows that the standard magnetizing devices PNU do not m
ake it possible to detect defects across the entire thickness of the o
bject; the article suggests and reports on tests of methods of suffici
ently powerful magnetization under field conditions and in inspection
under water. It describes the automated magnetographic flaw detector M
GDSSh with microcomputer.
