Abstract
In spite of the many disturbances caused in the propagation of acoustic waves by the metallurgical structure of austenitic stainless steel, ultrasonic examination can provide in many cases key information in the process of assessing the structural integrity of industrial installations made from such materials. Indeed the steel structure variability makes every cases peculiar, with the consequence that the achievement of a dedicated feasibility study will often enhance drastically the examination performance. Such an exploratory exercise imposes to use a careful methodology regarding transducer and pulser selection, data analysis, performance evaluation, procedure qualification and field implementation. Through various examples from the nuclear industry field, the paper illustrates that kind of approach, as well as the extent to which it has been made possible to optimize the actual inspection capability and reliability.
