Abstract
The crack of pipeline girth weld is one of the most common and dangerous defects in girth weld. According to the magnetic dipole theory model, the magnetic signal model of pipeline girth weld cracks is established. By means of numerical simulation, the distribution characteristics of magnetic signals of crack defects in girth welds and the variation rules of magnetic signals of different flaw sizes and lifting heights of girth welds were studied. The simulation results show that the normal component Hy appears zero crossing and changes direction, and the tangential component Hx appears extreme value upward. Finally, the magnetic signal model of crack defects in pipeline girth weld was verified through field engineering test. The actual magnetic induction intensity detected at the flaw of pipeline girth weld was basically consistent with the theoretical calculation results, which verified the accuracy of the model.
