| Abstract | Interruption of plant operation can be avoided if non destructive testing inspections are performed on-line at operating temperatures, which may be up to several hundred degrees Celsius in a petrochemical or electric power generating plant. However, there are operational temperature limits for the phased array transducers and associated plastic wedges used for ultrasonic inspections. In this paper, an ultrasonic phased array system is described for inspections at elevated temperatures of up to 350°C. Wedges are built from plastics resistant to high temperature degradation, and equipped with a cooling jacket around the array. A model of the ultrasonic beam skew pattern due to thermal gradients inside a wedge is developed. The model is used in a separate algorithm to calculate transmission and reception time delays on individual array elements for generation of plane waves in a hot test piece, while compensating for thermal gradient effects inside the wedge. The algorithm results for planar wave inspections of test pieces at 150°C demonstrate that application of conventional element time delays can lead to serious phase errors. Experimental trials indicate that plane waves can be generated in a hot test piece using the new focal law algorithm with appropriate timing delays applied to all active array elements. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
