A method to investigate pipe wall thinning using guided waves has been developed for pipes in thermal power generation facilities. In this paper, the reflection coefficient and the transmission coefficient are derived for the torsional waves which propagate along a pipe and a simplified method to predict the waveform is proposed. The predictions of the waveforms by the FEM and a simplified method based on the reflection of torsional waves are also examined by comparing with experimental data.

Abstract Guided waves testing allows a long-range screening in pipes of different types and represents an effective and powerful non-destructing technique for defect detections using a limited number of points of measures. After the characterization through a general theoretical analysis, the focus is set to a real steam discharge pipe with a high mechanical complexity used for many years in a research plant now dismissed. The experimental method applied here is the pitch-catch configuration of two magnetostrictive sensors. The objective of this paper is to establish a strong theoretical background to pave the way for a robust experimental investigation. Preliminary experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis.
