OSTI ID:6324869

An ultrasonic inspection system is being developed to locate and size defects in the tension legs of the Hutton Field Tension Leg Platform (TLP), which will be installed in the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. The ultrasonic inspection probe will collect and transmit analog data to topside computers by wireline for digitization, processing, analysis, and graphic reconstruction.
