Abstract
This paper describes a tester used to measure the wall thickness of radioactive waste storage vessels. The tester utilizes the conventional ultrasonic pulse echo principle. Thickness maps are read out on a digital computer and printed to the nearest hundredth of an inch on the computer typewriter. Information on transducer location is obtained from shaft encoders coupled to the mechanical vessel scanning device. Thickness and transducer location information are transmitted to a digital computer for processing, via a telephone data transmitting system. The system is used to determine the effect of process corrosion during long-term waste storage.
