What is NDT System Reliability?

What is the costif he is wrong?

What is the risk if he is wrong?

There is no flawThere is a flaw

Costly False call Risky miss

NDT Reliability

Degree that an NDT system is capable ofachieving its purpose regarding detection,characterization and false calls

– American European Workshop on NDT reliability 99

Quantitative measure of the efficiency ofthe NDT procedure in finding flaws ofspecific type and size

– Metals Handbook

Quantification

Ideally❖ Cracks larger than a

certain size can bedetected

Defect Size

Probability of DetectionReality

❖ There is a probabilityof detection for everycrack

NDT Reliability Measurement

POD - Probability of DetectionIs it an adequate representation ?

POFA - Probability of False AlarmEqually important from economic consideration

ROC - POD vs. POFAA measure of reliability

What Do We Need to Understand?

NDT is not viewed as a friend of production

The program is in operational interest

Identify and eliminate deficiencies in NDTsystem

Ultimately operate ‘safer, cheaper, longer’

Popular Characteristics of POD

POD is Expensive

Certified inspectors do not need POD

Experienced and high salaried inspectorshave better POD

90/95 Crack size information is adequate

Facility SamplingInspector SamplingSpecimensSchedulingInspectionsData AcquisitionData AnalysisHuman factors

Specimens

Ideally, real parts with real cracks

Typically, synthetic parts or a combination of realand synthetic parts

Configuration as close to critical inspections aspossible

Presentation as close to real situation as possible

Special care in handling and maintenance

Specimens

Multiple identical specimens

Mounted on framework (racks) with quickinterchangeability feature

Multiple inspection sites per specimen

Uniquely numbered for tracking

Specimen inspection guideline similar to writtenprocedures

Routine surface cleaning process without damage

Specimen Defects

40-60 defects per setMost flaws in the zone of increasing POD❖ Preferred 10-90%❖ Typically 1-99% (Hard to judge)❖ Preferred size distribution linear on ‘log a’ scale

Onsite monitors to answer questions, without biasObservation of facility characteristics

Confidentiality

Inspector must be assured that❖ His identity will remain confidential❖ His performance will lead to a data point only❖ Interest is in overall average performance❖ There is no penalty for any individual❖ Aim at system level improvement

Human factor associated with being observed stillplays a role

Practical ApplicationsLearning through example

Step 1

Understanding POD curves

First things first

What is a POD?

What is a POD curve?

What is a POD “point estimate”

How does NDE system performance drivethe shape of these curves?

Lets take a graphical walk through the process

Relation of system response to POD curve

50% POD “point”for an 83 unit decisionthreshold

50% POD “point”for an 129 unit decisionthreshold

Regression equation from A-hat.exe program

Lets try one out!

Practical ApplicationsExample One

Considerations in FPI - POD

FPI - Reliability Formula ElementsIC - Chemistry, fluid mechanics

AP - Material, surface condition, location,specific process

HF - Contrast, spatial perception, behavior

FPI - Process parameters

FPI - A-hat vs a, or Pass/Fail?

Pass/fail model-program considerations❖ Process and behavior must conform to model

assumptions…. or no result/non-sense result❖ Asymptotic signal to noise

A-hat vs. a - Preferred❖ Given

Sufficient quantity of data - as few as 20 pointsMeasurable strength of response

❖ At minimum, mean performance can be calculated

FPI - Thresholds (noise, decision, saturation)

Effect of decision thresholds; 5-30milsPenetrant POD performance as a function of decision threshold

Example Three

Pressure Vessel POD

Ultrasonic & Eddy Current

PV-POD Using transfer functions to fill gaps

Often we are asked to develop POD…

But we can not create perfect knowledge❖ Exact material❖ Exact geometry❖ The precise flaws expected in the design

All orientationsAll morphologies

How can we approximate what we do not know?

Pressure vessel POD - Transfer functions

Target application; 120mm welded vessel❖ Internals are expensive, can’t afford false calls❖ Thin - 1mm wall

Situation - Resources to assess with❖ LCF cracks in flat plate - welded to spec

Non-welded plate 5mm❖ Automated UT & EC - Acquisition & Analysis❖ EDM artifacts for all critical locations

Must estimate differences from lab to field

Transfer process

•Compare family of EDMs across thicknesses

•Compare family of EDMs across geometries & PM vs weld

Example Four

Radiographic POD considerations

Radiography - HF dependantDespite advances in image processing mostapplications rely on human interpretation

Detection targets include much beyond simplecracks of length and depth❖ Pores, voids, cast shrink, honeycomb damage

How to achieve valid POD data for RT- without destructive sectioning of natural flaws?

Solution - Consensus evaluation of testset

Inspectors differ on which are real flaws

24A/6R 21A/9R 16A/14R

Using baseline consensus to reduce variance

Intersection of inspector agreement foundvalid in Metallurgical assessment

21A/9R

24A/6R 16A/14R

Example Five

Variation AnalysisMeasuring known unknowns

All Solutions and POD analyses imperfectControl known knowns

Measure known unknowns and account for inanalysis

Example - EC inspection of aircraft lap splices-Per print fastners not all in a row

Off axis model

Parse new peaks based onoffset

Take the data and effort to understand what you can see varying…There will be plenty which you can not!

We know how to get it.Is it worth the effort ?

Is the effort worth it ?

What is the cost of notdoing it ?

Mission Today

General Awareness

What ?

Next ?

Comes from❖ A developing defect (initial, accidental), and❖ A missed defect during an inspection

Assessment based on❖ Probability of “initial defect ”❖ Estimated defect growth rate❖ Probability of “missing a defect”

Risk Without Inspections

Probability of failureat time ‘T’ after manufacture

Equals

Probability of havingan initial defect of size ‘ao’

that grows tocritical size ‘ac’ in time ‘T’

POF(T) = P(initial ao)

Risk With Inspections

Probability of failureat time ‘T’ after manufacture

Equals

Probability of havingan initial defect of size ‘ao’

that grows tocritical size ‘ac’ in time ‘T’

TimesProbability(ies) of missing the

defect(s) during inspection(s)

POF = P(initial ao)* P(missing a1)* P(missing a2)

Popular Characteristics of PODPOD is Expensive

Certified inspectors donot need POD

Experienced and highsalaried inspectors havebetter POD

90/95 Crack sizeinformation is adequate

Imp to find small flaws

High return on investment;Cost of not doing POD ?

POD addresses the NDEsystem

POD cannot be empiricallyrelated to experience orsalary

90/95 is not a systemparameter. Use completePOD curve for reliability

Imp not to miss big ones

POD is in some sense “NDT of NDT”

Managers and Engineers tend to think theydon’t need NDT, There systems are good

We NDT fellows tend to think the sameway, we think we don’t need POD orreliability assessment.

If NDT is important, then POD is important
