Following the validation of the Simulation model developed in P305, this project intends to use it to determine the best parameters and probes for the Ultrasonic testing of carbon steel damaged by High Temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) in order to identify early stage HTHA.
The main objectives of this projects can be summed up as follows:
- Definition of optimized procedures and calibration blocks for reliable on-site HTHA detection and characterization
- Redaction of Guideline for Optimized NDT
