An automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) procedure with an RMS (Remote Monitoring System)

scanner typically involves several steps to ensure efficient and accurate inspection. Here's a
general outline of such a procedure:
Preparation:
Identify the inspection area and prepare the surface for scanning, ensuring it's clean and free
from any contaminants that could interfere with the inspection.
Set up the RMS scanner according to the manufacturer's instructions, including calibration and
positioning.
Calibration:
Calibrate the AUT system to ensure accurate measurement and detection of defects. This
involves using calibration blocks or standards to verify the performance of the equipment.
Scanner Setup:
Configure the RMS scanner settings based on the inspection requirements, such as scan
resolution, scanning speed, and beam parameters.
Ensure proper alignment and positioning of the scanner relative to the surface being inspected.
Data Acquisition:
Initiate the scanning process using the AUT system and RMS scanner.
Monitor the scanning progress and ensure that the scanner covers the entire inspection area with
sufficient overlap between scan lines or zones.
Data Analysis:
Collect the ultrasonic data obtained from the scanning process.
Analyze the data using appropriate software to detect and characterize defects or anomalies
within the inspected material.
Interpret the results based on acceptance criteria and standards relevant to the inspection
application.
Reporting:
Generate a comprehensive inspection report documenting the findings, including the location,
size, and severity of any detected defects.
Include any relevant images, graphs, or charts to support the inspection results.
Ensure that the report complies with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
