概要
In 1999, NEL developed the transmit-receive type ECT array probe for steam generator (SG) tubing, called “X-probe”, in cooperation with foreign firms. Recently NEL has developed the advanced ECT array probe, “Smart Array Probe”, characterized with a significantly improved resolution for circumferential cracks. The doubled channels in the circumferential mode have greatly improved the circumferential resolution of Smart Array Probe. With all the circumferential mode channels on the same circle, there is no need for axial position correction of inspection data. This report describes both the field practical performance and the compliance assessment to a Japanese SG-ECT guideline “JEAG4208” of Smart Array ECT System, composed of Smart Array Probe, pusher-in-tester “OMNI-200”, and NEL’s ECT Analysis System.
