AI Article Synopsis
- The TUCSS transducer is a French invention used for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in environments submerged in liquid sodium.
- It performs well at around 200°C, using traditional ultrasonic methods to assess the integrity of structures within the sodium.
- Artificial flaws created near an X-shaped weld were successfully detected, demonstrating the transducer's effective acoustic capabilities.
Article Abstract
TUCSS transducer (French acronym standing for Transducteur Ultrasonore pour CND Sous Sodium) is designed for performing NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) under liquid sodium. Under sodium, the tests results obtained show that these transducers have sufficiently good acoustic properties to perform basic NDT of a structure immersed under liquid sodium at about 200 °C using conventional immersion ultrasonic technics. Artificial defects were made next to an X-shaped weld and could clearly be detected.
