Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an electric resistance steel pipe having a good toughness at a welded portion is provided, the method being capable of stably manufacturing an electric resistance welded steel pipe having a desirable toughness at a welded portion although a steel strip serving as a base material has a dimensional variation. Groove shapes 5a and 5b are applied to edges 4a and 4b of an open pipe 4, an edge shape monitor 11 continuously captures images of the edges 4a and 4b immediately before electric resistance welding, and the captured images are input to an arithmetic processing unit 14 for image processing. Thus, a groove height h is measured, an optimum welding electric power is calculated on the basis of the measurement result, and the welding electric power from electric power generating equipment 6 is adjusted. Furthermore, an ultrasonic flaw detector 15 continuously measures an oxide distribution at the welded portion after the electric resistance welding. The optimum welding electric power is calculated on the basis of the measurement result, and the welding electric power from the welding power generating equipment 6 is adjusted.
Abstract:
A method for stably manufacturing a seam-welded steel pipe whose welded p ortion has a desired good tenacity even if the dimensions of the steel band used as a base metal vary. Groove shapes (5a, 5b) are given to the edges (4a , 4b) of an open pipe (4). The edges (4a, 4b) are continuously imaged by an edge shape monitor (11) immediately before seam welding. The captured image is inputted into a computing device (14) and subjected to image processing. Thus, the groove depth h is measured. According to the determination result, an optimum welding power is computed, and the welding power from a welding power generating device (6) is adjusted. Further, after seam-welding, the di stribution of oxides in the welded portion is continuously measured by means of an ultrasonic flaw detector (15). According to these measurement results , an optimum welding power is computed, and the welding power from the weldi ng power generating device (6) can be adjusted.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic flaw detection method and an ultrasonic flaw detection device for seam-welded pipes can ultrasonic-detect flaws with high accuracy in welding seam portion of seam-welded pipes. SOLUTION: A welding seam position of a seam-welded pipe 1 is detected, based on an image signal output from an infrared camera 5 to image a welding seam portion 1a of the seam-welded pipe 1; a probe displacement distance is calculated from the detected welding seam position, and the welding seam portion 1a is ultrasonically flaw-detected by moving ultrasonic probes 3a, 3b, in the circumferential direction of the seam-welded pipe 1, based on the calculated displacement distance, in which the welded pipe having flaws at the welding seam portion is used; the welding seam position of the seam-welded pipe is detected from an infrared image obtained by the infrared camera 5; defects are ultrasonically detected by an ultrasonic flaw detector 3; the welding seam position is detected from the defect signal; and the probe displacement distance is compensated based on the difference of the two detected welding seam positions.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably and accurately measure the wall thickness configuration of a pipe having a portion of which wall thickness changes largely at not only a bead cut portion but also a seam-welded pipe welded portion including a thickened wall portion. SOLUTION: This wall thickness configuration measuring device of a pipe measures the wall thickness configuration of a seam-welded pipe 2 while running the ultrasonic beam generated by each ultrasonic probe 1-1 to 1-N of a linear array type ultrasonic probe 1 arranged outside the seam-welded pipe 2 in a cross section which crosses the seam-welded pipe 2 in the axial direction. In the linear array type ultrasonic probe 1, the plurality of ultrasonic probes 1-1 to 1-N are array-arranged which generate ultrasonic beams, each of which forms a cylindrical wavefront extending in the cross section and is radiated toward the axis of the seam-welded pipe at least, and whose axial component BMC has intensity larger than a predetermined value. The device includes a wall thickness operation part 8 detecting the seam-welded pipe 2 outer surface echo and seam-welded pipe 2 inner surface echo of the axial component BMC of the scanned ultrasonic beam and measuring the wall thickness configuration of the seam-welded pipe 2.
