WaveScan User’s Guide

The aim of the Teletest Focus software is to ease data collection by automating many of the
decisions and actions that are required to initiate data collection, this is achieved by
applying rules to determine wave propagation conditions.
1 Start-Up Screen
The start-up screen is displayed once the program has loaded (Figure 1). It will only be
displayed when there is no data file open.

Table 5
3 Commencing an inspection
Select either ‘File, New’ from the menus, or click ‘Create a new inspection’ from the main
options. The job setup screen is then displayed.
3.1 Job setup Screen
Figure 7 - Job set-up screen

The job setup screen (Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9) is there to allow the user to configure
details pertinent to the inspection. It is important that these details are accurate as they
are imported into the automatically generated inspection report. This also applies to the
‘Other’ field where free text regarding the inspection may be recorded.
To assist the operator the software remembers previous entries for the following fields. These
can be accessed from the drop down box.
1. Client
2. Operator
3. Location
4. Pipe identification
5. Test Procedure
Other preconfigured dropdowns (filled with standard related information) are:
1. Material
2. Standard (ANSI/ASME, EN, JIS, Other(used for non-standard pipework))
3. Pipe Size
4. Wall thickness
Nominal wall thicknesses for the chosen standard appear in the drop down list. However, it
is recommended that the actual thicknesses are obtained using conventional UT. These
details can be entered by ticking the ‘Enter Actual Pipe Thickness’ checkbox as show below
(the software averages the thicknesses you are able to enter, ignoring zero values).
Figure 8 - Entering actual pipe thickness
The default inspection parameters can be tuned automatically within the software if there
are any particular pipe conditions by checking the relevant pipe condition checkbox
(Note: the test may be adjusted manually at a later stage)
Figure 9 - Pipe condition checkboxes

Depending on your selection of pipe diameter, the Teletest tool selection drop down (on the
right) will be configured with the appropriate tools, e.g. Mini-test for 4” and below (Figure
10).
Figure 10 - A fully configured tool
When a tool has been configured, the number of transducers being used in the ring should
be checked (or changed if you are using a custom configuration).
The test modules button in the centre of the screen will conduct a test firing of the tool. This
test firing will highlight any potential issues with the tool and cabling.
A feature of the software is that you click the ‘Confirm’ button when you are happy with
your current screen and are ready to continue (note, if essential information is left blank,
then the system will inform you of this).
If you select the incorrect longitudinal ring spacing for the wall thickness you have chosen
cancelation of L(0,1) may not be optimised and the following error will be displayed (Figure
11).
Figure 11 - L(0,1) cancelation error
3.2 Tool Set-up Screen

The tool set-up screen (Figure 12) allows you to enter the test configuration information
about pipe orientation, location, tool position with respect to a chosen datum point and
distances over which data is to be collected. By selecting ‘In Front’ or ‘Behind’ the tool a
distance field will be displayed. The distance to the chosen datum should be entered here.

It is not necessary to enter to a positive or negative symbol. The software requires the
operator to enter a description of the chosen datum and position of the tool before data
can be collected. On occasions where a suitable pipe feature cannot be identified for a
datum then the tool position can be used by highlighting the ‘At tool’ option.
In some scenarios it may not be possible to attach the tool in the standard configuration. In
these cases it is possible to offset the tools angular position and insert this information into
the angular position field. The software will make an adjustment based on this information.
The ‘flow direction’ is a notebook parameter which is used if a client wishes the forwards or
backwards test direction to be aligned with product flow. It has no effect on the test.
On the right hand side of the screen the automatically generated test schedule details are
displayed.
Figure 12 - Tool set-up screen
The previous button returns to the Job Setup Screen and the ‘Confirm’ button starts the test
normalisation process. If no tool is connected, then the following message will be shown
(Figure 13):
Figure 13 - Warning message
You will need to connect a Teletest Focus +system (the system will be looking to see if a unit
has been connected). Once a unit has been connected the collection process will be
available.

Prior to data collection commencing the user will be prompted for a file name and storage
location. The software suggests a file name based upon details entered by the user in the
job set up screen. The storage location will default to the Teletest data folder, however, the
user may wish to create a sub folder for each job.
3.3 Unbalanced Tooling Screen

The software will carry out a brief test to normalise (balance) the transducer rings, for
example to compensate for any differences in coupling efficiency caused by the pipe
surface. If the system identifies some out of range values, then the unbalanced tooling
screen will be displayed (Figure 14). Here the operator can either use the current values or
retry the normalisation process after reseating the tool. It is also possible to continue a test
without normalising the tooling by choosing the full amplitude option. This option is not
recommended but may be necessary if an axi-symmetric pipe feature cannot be clearly
identified.
Figure 14 - Unbalanced tooling screen
If the system is able to normalise within range, then you will not see the screen displayed in
Figure 14, if the screen is displayed you should release the collar pressure, re-seat the tool
and re inflate.
The test should then be repeated in most cases this action will improve the coupling enough
to adequately balance the tool.

25. Investigate ‘Mirror’ signals

4.8.1 Automatic DAC curve setting

In normal operation the Teletest software will attempt to identify signals from girth welds.
If two girth welds or more are identified in one test direction the software will automatically
set the DAC curves (Figure 21). In cases were the software does not automatically set the
DAC curves these can be set using two alternative methods. The first method is two
manually drag the DAC curves into place by clicking on the -14dB curve (Blue DAC curve).
Alternatively the DAC can be automatically set to the girth welds once they have been
annotated.
The A-scan on the left has been

annotated but the DAC curve has
not been set.
Once the Automatic DAC curve

button has been clicked the
software will display the following
window. Ensure that the weld
feature is selected (default) and
click ‘ok’
The DAC curve has now been set

across the peaks of the girth weld
signals.
Figure 21 - Automatic DAC curve setting.
4.8.2 Show diagnostic length cursors

It is vital when submitting reports that there is no confusion regarding the actual length of
pipe that has been inspected from each test location. The Teletest software features

curtains that can be dragged into position along the X axis of the A-scan to display the
actual diagnostic length (Figure 22). The distance between these curtains will also be
imported into the report.
Figure 22 - Diagnostic length cursors
Once the ‘show diagnostic length cursors’ button has been selected the grey cutains will
appear on the A-scan display. They will automatically appear at approx 90% of the X axis
range distance display. Once the curtains are visible they can be dragged into the required
position.
4.8.3 Set features menu - Manual Feature Marking

To mark a feature on the analysis dataset:
• Press the toolbar button (13 on Figure 20), or right click on the A-scan and select ‘Add
Feature’. This will bring up the set features menu (Figure 23).
• Right click and select the colour of trace required (default is black)
• Move the red cursor to the point on the curve you wish to mark
• Double click the cursor and the feature can be selected from the drop down menu.
To change the feature type:
• Right click on the text of the marked feature and select a different feature type

Figure 23 - Selecting different feature type
• Click in the Feature List diagnosis column and new feature type (Figure 24)
Figure 24 - Feature list diagnosis column
When annotating a pipe feature they may be some occasions where the default descriptions
are not suitable. In these situations the description ‘see info’ should be selected. Once the
feature has been annotated with this description it is advisable to manually add one’s own
description by entering text into the extra info box on the right hand side of the feature list.
Once the test has been enter click the ok button then click on the A-scan, the manual entry
will now be visible. This feature is also useful for adding extra info to standard pipe
descriptions such as adding a weld or pipe support number.
4.8.4 Features display menu

Before any feature annotation is displayed its style of display needs to be set in the feature
display menu. There are the following options available in this menu (Figure 25).
Figure 25 - Feature display menu

• Show peak position – This feature should always be ticked when wanting to display an
annotation on the A-scan screen regardless of format.
• Show leading edge – This feature will display the leading edge of the annotated signal.
• Show ID – This feature will display the annotation as a number rather than text. (The
numbering system will be linked to a feature list in the final report)
• Show details – This feature will display the annotation as text
• Show extra info – This feature will also display any extra info that has been added.
• Show features from all data sets – This feature will display all annotations from all
frequencies on each A-scan display. This feature is an aid to data interpretation, as it
will display the position of any annotated anomalies at all other collected frequencies.
4.8.5 View/Edit A-scan comments
Figure 26 - A-scan comments
Once the analysis has been complete for a given test location the operator should always
write a short paragraph summarising the findings. When selecting the View / edit A-scan
comments button a text box will appear which can be used for this purpose. (Figure 26) Any
comments that are inserted into this window will be automatically added to the report.
4.8.6 Show / hide measurement tool
Figure 27 - Measurement tool
The measurement tool (Figure 27) can be used to determine the distance between two
features on the A-scan display. To increase or decrease the size of the tool, grab either one
of the end cursors. Once the required distance has been set the tool can be moved around
the A-scan display by dragging the centre cursor. This feature is helpful when identifying
responses from pipe supports and girth welds having a fixed separation.

4.8.7 Investigate mirror signals

These may result from a combination of placing the transducer tool too close to a large
symmetrical reflector, and/or poor cancelation of unwanted wave modes. This may cause a
mirror image of an indication in the opposite scan direction to which it actually occurs. The
best way to avoid this situation is to select the tool location with the above in mind.
When using the Torsional wave mode if cancelation has not been optimised a mirror signal
of an indication may be visible in the opposite scan direction. As the T(0,1) wave mode is
non-dispersive the mirror signal will appear at the exact opposite distance of that of the real
feature. (I.e. a flange at -3m would appear in the +3m position when viewing A-scan WRT
Tool).
When using the Longitudinal wave mode extra care must be taken as in some cases it may
be possible to receive Ghost/mirror signals from the dispersive L(0,1) wave mode. In most
cases the L(0,1) wave mode is destroyed before leaving the transducer tool, however, at non
optimum frequencies small amounts of this wave mode may propagate along the pipe.
Detection of this type of Ghost/mirror signals can be more complicated as the group velocity
(Vg) of the L(0,1) wave mode is approximately half that of L(0,2). Remember an un-
cancelled L(0,1) signal will usually have a broader base due to its dispersive nature.
As this system calculates the time of flight of the wave modes it is assumed when using
Longitudinal that the received signals will be travelling at the group velocity (Vg) of that of
L(0,2) which is approximately 5900m/s
In cases where we receive signals from the L(0,1) wave mode the signals will appear at
approximately twice the distance of the real feature due to the fact that the wave is
travelling at approximately half the speed therefore taking twice the time to cover the same
distance.
Figure 28 - Mirror signal icon
The mirrored signal identifier can be activated by clicking the mirror signals icon (Figure 28)
above the A-scan display.
The wave mode required can be selected by clicking the downward facing arrow (Figure 29).
Figure 29 - Mirror signal wave modes options

When using the Torsional wave mode the L(0,2) and L(0,1) options will not be visible.

The pink traces on the A-scan on the previous page are displaying the position of mirrored
signal from the L(0,2) wave mode (Figure 30).
• A = Mirror signal from Flange.

• B = Mirror signal from Weld in backward direction.
• C = Mirror signal from weld in forward direction.
The pink traces in Figure 30 above are displaying mirrored signals from the L(0,2) wave mode
from Flange and Weld signals.
4.9 Collecting Focus Data

Once an anomalous indication has been identified it is possible to gain circumferential
information by using the focus option.
To focus on a feature:
Press the toolbar button (13 on Figure 20) or right click on the A-scan window.
Move the red cursor to the point on the curve you wish to focus at
Double click on the cursor and annotate the feature.
Left click on the annotation and select ‘focus here’ Note: the background colour (Red,
Orange & Green) will indicate the favourability of the test conditions.
Click on the Recollection tab at the bottom right of the screen
Make sure the focus box is ticked and hit button ‘Collect specified Tests’
You can review the focusing selection by clicking on the Recollection option of Feature list
area (in the right corner)
Once the collection is complete the focus data can be viewed in the analysis option tab.
5 Navigate the Data Sets

To navigate between the various data sets, use any of the following methods:

1. Click the dataset you wish to view from the collection details panel (Figure 31)
Italic font is data still to be collected
Bold underlined is data that has been

collected and has not been viewed
Bold is data that has been collected

and viewed
Figure 31 - Selecting the data set you wish to view
2. Use the arrows on the tool bar ( ) to scroll through the datasets marked in the
collection details panel. This will only scroll through frequencies that are ticked.
3. Animate viewing the datasets from the toolbar Play button :
(Any un-ticked data sets will not be displayed when using methods 2 and 3)
6 The Analysis Multi View

The analysis multi view is useful to compare the results from the various tests and to see if
certain features line up to indicate a common anomaly (Figure 32).
Figure 32 - The multi view
To view a data set in single view mode, double click the data set graph you are interested
in.
7 Overall View
Used to get an overview and compare the various datasets (Figure 33).

Figure 33 - The overall view
Again, to view a selected dataset, double click the dataset you are interested in.
8 The Cluster Plot

The cluster plot is a feature in the Teletest software. It is a stylised A-scan display of
indications called over multiple selected test frequencies. This presentation can be exported
into a report as a display of all collected information over multiple frequencies.
The Cluster plot can be accessed from the main analysis screen by selecting the Cluster plot
tab (Figure 34).
Figure 34 - The cluster plot tab
Figure 35 - The cluster plot toolbar
The cluster plot toolbar contains the following commands (Figure 35).
1. Log/Linear plot display

2. Group features
3. Set follow up area

4. Clear feature groupings

5. Show/hide all features
6. Select DAC lines to display
7. Show/hide features
8. Toggle X distance display with respect to tool and datum
To build the cluster plot display the required individual frequencies need to be ticked in the
collection details section of the analysis screen. It is also important that any frequency
required for the cluster plot should be correctly annotated with the DAC curves set.
The software will then process this information into the cluster plot display.
Once all required information is displayed in the cluster plot corresponding features should
be grouped together. The group features button can be found on the tool bar (Figure 35).
Corresponding features can then be grouped together by dragging the box around the
required features. These features will then be displayed as one feature with a distance and
amplitude average.
As the features in the cluster plot are grouped together the software will generate a pipe
image according to the features identified (Figure 36).
The ends of the diagnostic lengths will be displayed as dotted blue lines on the pipe
schematic. The tool location is displayed as a green solid line.
Figure 36 - The cluster plot pipe schematic
9. If a large area of unexplained indications are to be reported a follow up area can be

added to the cluster plot by selecting “Set follow up area” (Figure 35). This area will also
be visible on the pipe image as a Tan coloured vertical bar.
The cluster plot display and the pipe image can be used for reporting by selecting one of the
following report templates – Basic report/Comprehensive report/multi location report.
8.1 Grouping Features on the Cluster Plot

To group a set of features to consolidate into a single feature (Figure 37):
Click the group features tool button
Click and drag over the features you wish to group notice that the Clustered features display
will group the features under a single heading; you can change this if you wish to change
the type of feature you think it is, e.g. A before and after clustering.
