| description | This study aims to investigate an accurate detection method to detect defects in the gasket ring groove of the blowout preventer (BOP) using the ultrasonic phased array technology. Traditionally, it is difficult to accurately determine the type and size of defects in the gasket ring groove due to the complexity of the BOP configuration and the interference between the defect echo and the structural echo when using the ultrasonic phased array detection technology. In this study, firstly, the appropriate detection process parameters are determined by using simulation software for simulating and analyzing the defects of different sizes and types in the gasket ring groove of a BOP. Thereafter, according to the detection process parameters determined by the simulation analysis, we carry out a corresponding actual detection test. Simulation analysis and detection test results show that the relative amplitude of the test results and the simulation results differ within 1 dB, and the simulation results have a guiding role for the actual detection. The defect echo and structure echo can be clearly distinguished by selecting appropriate detection process parameters, such as probe frequency 5 MHz, array elements 36, and probe aperture 16 mm. The research results can provide theoretical reference for the detection of blowout preventer. |
