GB/Z 43410-2023 Non-destructive testing - Automated ultrasonic testing - Selection and application of systems
1 Scope
The information in this document covers all kinds of ultrasonic testing on components or complete manufactured structures for either correctness of geometry, for material properties (quality or defects), and for fabrication methodology (e.g. weld testing).
This document enables the user, along with a customer specification, or a given test procedure or any standard or regulation to select:
——ultrasonic probes, probe systems and controlling sensors;
——manipulation systems including controls;
——electronic sub-systems for the transmission and reception of ultrasound;
——systems for data storage and display;
——systems and methods for evaluation and assessment of test results.
With regard to their performance, this document also describes procedures for the verification of the performance of the selected test system.
This includes
——tests during the manufacturing process of products (stationary testing systems), and
——tests with mobile systems.

4 Basic system description
4.1 Systems
There are two major applications for automated ultrasonic testing systems:
a) detection and evaluation of material defects (e.g. cracks, porosity, geometry);
b) measurement and evaluation of material properties (e.g. sound velocity, scattering).
Essential components of an automated test system are:
a) mechanically positioned and controlled ultrasonic probes and/or test objects;
b) automatic data acquisition for the ultrasonic signals;
c) acquisition and storage of probe positions in relation to the ultrasonic signals;
d) storage of test results.
A test system usually consists of several individually identifiable components. These are:
a) manipulators for probes or test objects;
b) probes and cables;
c) supply (pre-wetting), application and removal of the couplant;
d) electronic ultrasonic sub-systems;
e) data acquisition and processing devices;
f) data evaluation and display devices;
g) system controls;
h) sorting and marking of tested objects.
The complexity of a test system depends on the scope of the test and application of the system.
Test systems may be divided into stationary and mobile devices.
Examples of stationary test systems are testing machines:
——for the continuous testing of steel products, e.g. billets, plates, tubes, rails;
——for the testing of components, e.g. steering knuckles, rollers, balls, bolts, pressure cylinders;
——for the testing of composite materials, such as aerospace structures, e.g. complete wings made of composite materials, CRFP and GFRP components;
——for the testing of random samples (batch test) in a process accompanying production checks, e.g. testing for hydrogen induced cracking in steel samples.
Examples of mobile test systems are test rigs:
——for pre-service and in-service testing of components, e.g. valves, vessels, bolts, turbine parts;
——for pre-service and in-service inspection of vehicles;
——for pre-service and in-service testing of pipelines, e.g. oil or gas pipelines;
——ultrasonic testing of rails in railway tracks.
The test systems can be single or multichannel systems.
The complexity of the manipulator of the system depends on the examination task.
The complexity of the data acquisition and evaluation system depends on the number of test channels, on the required test speed, and on other test requirements.
4.2 System schematic
The essential components of an automated ultrasonic scanning system are shown in Figure 1. More detailed descriptions can be found elsewhere in this document. A detailed description of the individual functions is given in Clause 5.
The probe position shall be determined and be recorded together with the ultrasonic data. This can be achieved by using encoders, ultrasound, or video techniques.
The most simple ultrasonic system uses only one probe (Figure 2).
