Eddy Current Mechanized Scanner Development for HRSG Tube-to-Header Weld Inspection: Scoping Study and Preliminary Design
Tube-to-header weld joints in heat recovery steam generators are difficult to inspect with conventional probes due to their complex geometry. This report describes the access requirements and preliminary design for a robotic scanner with two extendable arms that can potentially inspect these difficult-to-reach areas while traveling on magnetic, motor-driven tracks along the underside of headers.
