Embodiment
Further the present invention is further elaborated below in conjunction with embodiment.
Specific implementation method of the present invention is as follows:
(1) adopt reference block to carry out check of zero
In the actual detected, ultrasound wave has one section travel path in probe, can influence the accuracy that dirty layer thickness value is measured during this section sound.Therefore, in order to improve accuracy of detection, we adopt reference block to carry out check of zero.
Select the reference block of a known velocity of sound known thickness for use, reach thoroughly with convenient clear and definite ultrasound wave direct puncture in reference block and tiltedly penetrate the required travel-time with different paths; Penetrate the difference in ultrasound wave travel-time in test block under T.T. and the respective detection mode when calculating actual detected then, promptly obtain the travel-time of ultrasound wave in probe under the different detection modes; At last, before workpiece is detected, directly import zero shift with digital form according to the difference under detection mode and the respective detection mode.
(2) the detection anchor clamps are installed
On tested pipeline, select any surface finish and axially straight one section to install and survey anchor clamps, survey anchor clamps be mainly used to polish pre-service and probe location.At first start grinding apparatus pipeline is carried out axially parallel polishing processing, guaranteed the collimation of the surface of emission and receiving plane on the one hand; Increase the contact area of probe and pipeline on the other hand, improved the acoustic coupling effect when detecting.After the completion of processing of polishing, on buffed surface, smear couplant, and, accurately locate popping one's head in according to the rule on the anchor clamps surveying installation probe on the anchor clamps; Survey anchor clamps and push artificial factor such as angle because of the dynamics of pushing of probe, probe in also having avoided simultaneously detecting.
(3) initial option sensing point, assurance detects the homogeneity of position outer diameter tube and tube wall
Referring to Fig. 1,, assess this point then and whether meet the detection requirement a bit tentatively electing sensing point as on the grinding face.The first step, with between these some place two parallel buffed surfaces of miking apart from d

4Between coefficient of dispersion less than 0.8%, then can carry out next step operation, otherwise reconnaissance again.Second the step, on the sensing point of initial option, measure near 4 pairing pipeline wall thickness with audiogage, if 4 the pipeline wall thickness coefficient of dispersion of locating of surveying less than 0.8%, represent that then the tube wall of this segment pipe on this buffed surface is more even; The even tube wall of in like manner assessing this segment pipe on another buffed surface whether.If above two steps assessment meets the requirements, then the selection before the expression can tentatively be decided to be sensing point.
(4) final coordinate detection point, assurance detect the homogeneity of position pipeline dirt layer thickness
Select the identical pair of straight probe of specification, frequency for use, pipeline is carried out vertical penetration-detection, draw time of break-through T according to vertical transmission Mintrop wave in the sensing point place
1Adopt and use the same method, near sensing point on the buffed surface, once penetrate along the every 10mm of straight line, and their time of break-through relatively.Guaranteed the collimation of buffed surface, the homogeneity of pipe thickness during the initial option sensing point, got 4 continuous sensing points, if the coefficient of dispersion of the time of break-through that these points are surveyed, represents then that pipeline dirt layer thickness is even less than 0.1%.At this moment, just fixed point just can finally be elected sensing point as.

(6) hypothesis of dirty velocity amplitude and dirty one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 estimates
Estimate the ultrasonic propagation velocity that the dirt layer substantially according to the environment for use of pipeline.
Can draw the computing formula (a) of dirty layer thickness according to the saturating propagation law that detects of direct puncture:
In the formula: T
1: the travel-time of ultrasound wave in pipeline during vertical incidence, unit: second;
D: transonic path, unit: rice;

v
2: the speed that ultrasound wave is propagated in dirt, unit: meter per second;
v
3: the speed that ultrasound wave is propagated in liquid, unit: meter per second;
Then, can make estimation in advance to dirty one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 according to formula (a).Need to prove, owing to the velocity of propagation of ultrasound wave in liquid can change along with the variation of fluid temperature, so following formula must be noted that temperature compensation when calculating.
Temperature compensation when (7) formula calculates
The velocity of propagation of ultrasound wave in liquid is different along with the difference of fluid temperature, and is subjected to Temperature Influence bigger.So, when formula calculates,, utilize the temperature sensing device thermometric to realize that the velocity of sound compensates indirectly according to the relation between liquid acoustic velocity and the temperature, eliminate the influence that temperature is brought detection, to improve measuring accuracy.
(8) adopt the oblique incidence mode to measure the time T that ultrasound wave tiltedly penetrates pipeline

(10) the final of sensing point place dirt interval velocity value and one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 determined
Because sensitivity was relatively low when tiltedly transmission detected, signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is low, and the positioning error of receiving transducer is relatively large, therefore needs to rejudge the installation position of receiving transducer according to the speed and the one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of calculating.Then, carry out straight, tiltedly transmission once more, measure time of break-through, according to the formula (a) and (b) and (c) recalculate dirty velocity amplitude and one-tenth-value thickness 1/10.If the difference of the velocity amplitude of twice calculating is less than 0.1% of mean value, then this value is exactly the velocity amplitude that ultrasound wave is propagated in the dirt layer; Otherwise reorientate once more, measure, less than 0.1% of mean value, this moment, resulting velocity amplitude was exactly the velocity amplitude that ultrasound wave is propagated in the dirt layer until the difference of the velocity amplitude that twice measurement calculated.
According to the velocity amplitude of determined dirt, adopt straight incident method pipe under test to be carried out vertical penetration-detection in the sensing point place, can calculate the one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 of dirt according to formula (a).
(11) near other position dirt layer thickness of sensing point determines
In order to measure dirty interval velocity value, the selected sensing point in front has guaranteed certain detection condition.And near other position the sensing point may exist elbow or dirt situation such as in uneven thickness, because of near the extremely one section working environment of sensing point on the pipeline identical, the character of formed dirt is close, the dirty interval velocity value that this moment, we can utilize the sensing point place to measure is measured the thickness of other position dirts.
