Abstract

A device and a principle of operation of some ultrasound scanners-flaw detectors for diagnosing the basic metal mass of main oil and gas pipelines in reinsulation is considered. Different methods, materials, and devices for efficient excitation and reception of ultrasound waves in pipelines with wall thicknesses of 6–20 mm and the selection of Lamb and Rayleigh wave modes for testing as a function of the pipe-wall thickness are discussed. The principle of operation of a unidirectional primary EMA transducer is described.
