Another important factor affecting the reliability of detection is the limitations of X-ray Orientation Analyzer. The physical principles underlying different X-ray orientation analyzers are different, and it determines that each X-ray orientation analyzer has its own characteristics and limitations. Therefore, in the detection should pay attention to play a certain feature and avoid its limitations. For example, for weld inspection of pressurized containers, both ray and ultrasonic measurements can achieve higher detection reliability than one of the single uses.
Some defects can only be found by ultrasonic waves, while others such as small pores or small slag inclusions are easily detected by radiography, so the results obtained using only one test are not comprehensive. Because each has its own limitations, only a variety of tests can be used to achieve higher reliability.
When it comes to the reliability of X-ray orientation analyzers, the reliability of X-ray orientation analyzer results should not be confused with the reliability of equipment or products. These are two different problems, but they are related problems. The reliability of equipment and products is not only related to the reliability of X-ray orientation analyzer results, but also closely related to design, material selection, processing, process, and working conditions.
