REDUCING INFLUENCE OF HUMAN FACTORS ON THE MANUAL ULTRASONIC WELD INSPECTION RELIABILITY Authors Garri S. Passi, Yossi Shoef, Marina V. Kritsky Abstract Being under influence of human factors the low cost manual ultrasonic testing of welded joints cant compete with the expensive and hazardous X-ray or isotope inspection in many cases, despite the advantage of having highest sensitivity. To minimize such influence special exploration was performed and new I2-Sonic Manual Ultrasonic Testing Objectivization System was created. The main I2-Sonic concept is automatic on-line imaging and documenting two kinds of NDT data including operators observing testing technology and his mistakes, and quality of object under test. Exploration results, I2-Sonic principles, and some other new concepts are discussed in the paper. Table of contents INTRODUCTION EXPLORATION HUMAN FACTORS AND REDUCING THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE TEST RESULTS CALIBRATION VARIABILITY DETECTION UNRELIABILITY ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENTS AND DATA REPORTING CONCLUSIONS REFERENCES LIST OF ALL FIGURES INTRODUCTION Manual ultrasonic testing of welded joints is in wide-spread use in industrial applications, mainly for the most common cases (more than 70%) where the length of the welded joints is shorter than 1m and the sole practical solution is manual inspection. [1,2] The conventional manual ultrasonic testing has the following important demerits: 1. Inspection results are essentially dependent on the operators actual performance of the testing in the field, his observation of the indications, and his own on the spot interpretation. 2. Oscilloscopic indications (A-scan images) of the flaw echoes are non obvious for welding personnel and for users of the products with welded joints. Due to these deficiencies and despite the advantage of having the highest sensitivity, the low cost ultrasonic testing cant compete with the expensive and hazardous X-ray or isotope inspection in many cases. The presented paper contains som
