基于MRQA的超声导波管道缺陷识别方法

Ultrasonic guided wave pipeline defect identification method based on MRQA

  • 摘要: 压力管道在石油化工行业应用广泛,在使用中低频超声导波检测定位压力管道腐蚀减薄等缺陷时,常因管道表面状况差、防腐层厚以及埋地等因素使检测信号衰减且信噪比降低,易漏检微小缺陷。针对常用时频法难以有效处理该类信号的问题,本研究采用基于集合经验模态分解的多尺度递归定量分析(Multi-scale recursive quantitative analysis,简称MRQA)来提升管道缺陷识别能力。首先,根据含噪声人工缺陷管道导波信号的非平稳特性,利用集合经验模态分解得到多尺度信号;通过对多尺度信号开展递归定量分析获取8个递归定量参数;对比确定合适的递归定量曲线完成对微小缺陷的轴向精准定位。实验结果表明:该信号处理算法对噪声环境下的管道微小腐蚀缺陷具有较好的识别定位效果,并确定捕获时间(TT)和第二类递归时间(T2)为主要参考指标,轴向定位误差小于10%,并在现场检测中验证了该算法的稳定性和有效性。

     

    Abstract: Pressure pipelines are widely used in the petrochemical industry, and when using medium and low frequency ultrasonic guided waves to detect and locate defects such as corrosion and thinning of pressure pipelines, the detection signal is attenuated and the signal-to-noise ratio is reduced due to factors such as poor surface condition of the pipeline, thick anti-corrosion layer and burial, and it is easy to miss the detection of small defects. In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to effectively process such signals by common time-frequency methods, Multi-scale Recursive Quantitative Analysis (MRQA) based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition was used to improve the ability of pipeline defect identification. Firstly, according to the non-stationary characteristics of the guided wave signal of the noisy artificial defect pipeline, the multi-scale signal is obtained by ensemble empirical mode decomposition, and eight recursive quantitative parameters are obtained by recursive quantitative analysis of the multi-scale signal, and the appropriate recursive quantitative curve is compared and determined to complete the axial accurate positioning of the small defects. The experimental results show that the signal processing algorithm has a good identification and positioning effect on the small corrosion defects of pipelines in the noisy environment, and the capture time (TT) and the second type of recursive time (T2) are determined to be the main reference indexes, and the axial positioning error is less than 10%, and the stability and effectiveness of the algorithm are verified in the field detection.
