The national standard seminar on automatic full focus technology was successfully held

From April 17th to 19th, 2023, the National Technical Committee for Nondestructive Testing Standardization and the Weld Testing and Inspection Subcommittee of the National Welding Standardization Technical Committee organized two national standard seminars in Jiading District, Shanghai, titled "Full Matrix Acquisition/Full Focus Technology (FMC/TFM) for non-destructive testing and ultrasonic testing of welds" and "Automatic Full Focus Technology (TFM) for non-destructive testing of welds".

Wang Bin, Vice Chairman of the Weld Testing and Inspection Sub technical Committee of the National Welding Standardization Technical Committee and Assistant Director of Shanghai Materials Research Institute Co., Ltd., introduced the background and requirements of standard development. Zhang Rui, Chairman of Aintick Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., delivered a welcome speech on behalf of the organizer.

From Shanghai Materials Research Institute Co., Ltd., Aintick Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Dongfang Boiler Co., Ltd. of Dongfang Electric Group, Shanghai Lanya Petrochemical Equipment Testing Institute Co., Ltd. of Mechanical Industry, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Testing Technology Co., Ltd., Ningbo Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute, Beijing New Union Railway Group Co., Ltd., Qinhuangdao Bocheng Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhan University, East China University of Technology 30 expert representatives from 16 units, including Changsha University of Technology, Wuhan Zhongke Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong Shantou Ultrasonic Electronics Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Duopule Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Ruixiang Mold Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Youerte Testing Technology Co., Ltd., attended the meeting.

The "Non destructive Testing Ultrasonic Testing Full Matrix Acquisition/Full Focus Technology (FMC/TFM)" specifies the general principles for array ultrasonic testing using Full Matrix Acquisition/Full Focus Technology (FMC/TFM) and related technologies. The "Non destructive Testing of Welds - Automatic Full Focus Ultrasonic Testing (TFM)" specifies the use of Full Focus (TFM) and related technologies for semi-automatic or fully automatic ultrasonic testing of metal fusion welded joints with a plate thickness of not less than 3.2mm. This meeting discussed the opinions received from various parties during the process of soliciting opinions on two standards, sorted out the technical content and verification results of the standards, and preliminarily formed a draft for standard review, making sufficient preparations for subsequent standard reviews.
