Abstract

The evaluation of microwave (MW) imaging radar capabilities in non-destructive tests to detect internal structures or defects in the inner volume of thermal insulation coating has been carried out. The MW imaging with high spatial resolution has been performed with holographic subsurface radar operated in the frequency range from 22.2 to 26.2 GHz. The investigation of this non-destructive testing (NDT) technology is important to evaluate the feasibility for quality check of assembled polyurethane sandwich parts for thermal insulation. The samples of polyurethane foam thermal insulation have been fabricated in collaboration with a manufacturing industry of household appliances to have a representative set of real defects. The images obtained are of high quality and easy to be interpreted as they reveal the shapes and plane positions of the defect into samples with thickness up to 90 mm.
