| Description | Qualification testing of the Ultrasonic Redesigned Solid Rocket Motor Bondline Inspection Systems (URBIS) was conducted at the Thiokol Nondestructive Evaluation Test Facility M337A and at the Rotation Process Storage Facility at Kennedy Space Center. The test was performed on portions of the URBIS that are generic to redesigned solid rocket motor case-to-insulation bondline inspections. Testing began on Feb. 13, 1989 and was completed on May 26, 1989. The main purpose of the test was to verify that each URBIS performed to the manufacturer's specifications in the same manner and to make any procedural changes necessary for specific redesigned solid rocket motor inspections. All five URBISs passed every stage of the qualification test. Each URBIS is now qualified for use on redesigned solid rocket motors. Verifying the fact that each URBIS obtains and analyzes data in a similar fashion has eliminated concerns about variations in data between the five systems. The following recommendations were made as a result of this test: (1) each URBIS should be located within a stable environment; (2) an electronic preventative maintenance program should be established for each URBIS; (3) when the URBIS is being utilized to perform transducer analysis, the URBIS equipment setting should match the equipment setting noted on the manufacturer-supplied transducer certification sheet; and (4) optimum scan velocities for each inspection technique (clevis, capture feature, pinhole and membrane) should be determined through further testing. |
