Description:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:

[001] This invention relates to Real Time Radiography (RTR) evaluation for short length welded tubes with collet grip adaptor. More particularly the invention relates to safety of handling short length welded tubes while Real Time Radiography test.

BACKGROUND/PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION:

[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[003] In site work, the combination of tubes having different diameter, thickness and different materials welding is difficult and also not possible in some cases. Therefore, we welding that dissimilar joints in shop floor. The STB welded tube has very short length which length is only (200+200) 400 mm. It is easy to handle long length tubes on conveyor and testing in RTR. But, when short length is being welded in STBW machine, it is very difficult to handling and testing of short length tube in RTR. Because, it has contained more manual work and unsafe work condition. After the STB welding, the job is manually moved to RTR center.

[004] In this case it is very difficult to handle the short length tubes to check the RTR result. This short length tubes are not able to hold on conveyor mechanism which provided in RTR center for long length. Therefore, it is very difficult while operators are manually handling short length welded tube for checking in RTR. And also the job is make hazardous due to absorb high temperature during welding period. Due to radiation exposure, we are seeking for a proper adaptor which Internal Bore nearer to Outer Diameter of job and which can hold a job and provide sufficient distance for temporary basis.

[005] The same job is very difficult to fixing and removal from adaptor due to improper fixing of wedge piece. Then, the same adaptor has to manually feeding to the RTR room and to rotating the job through operator as per instruction of RTR inspector. Wobbling and skew problems have to be faced due to not being fixed job properly. Due to X- Rays radiation, operator is required to maintain maximum distance while rotation of job to avoid radiation exposure risk. Nevertheless, operators are absorbing radiation with permissible limit.

[006] In view of the above, there is requirement to devise an apparatus which can address the aforesaid shortcoming(s). Hence, the present invention has been introduced.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:

[007] An object of the present invention is to provide a device for handling short length welded tubes while Real Time Radiography test.

[008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for improving safety in movement and evaluation of RTR test.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:

[009] One or more drawbacks of conventional systems and process are overcome, and additional advantages are provided through the apparatus/composition and a method as claimed in the present disclosure. Additional features and advantages are realized through the technicalities of the present disclosure. Other embodiments and aspects of the disclosure are described in detail herein and are considered to be part of the claimed disclosure.

[0010] Accordingly, there is provided a device for handling short length welded tubes test evaluation. According to the invention, A COLLET GRIP ADAPTOR is used for handling short length welded tubes evaluation. So that Adaptor can be conveniently handle in RTR centre. The collet grip head is being connected with standard length tube with help of four screw.

[0011] Consequently, the collet head can hold job firmly and straight position. So that wobble during rotation of job for RTR testing is avoid. Now, the adaptor can be rotate by vertical pinch roller mechanism. Henceforth, the operator will not be exposed to radiation. In addition to, it is very convenient to hold and remove the job from collet head. It is also convenient and expedite processes established during RTR result.

[0044] Each of the appended claims defines a separate invention, which for infringement purposes is recognized as including equivalents to the various elements or limitations specified in the claims. Depending on the context, all references below to the "invention" may in some cases refer to certain specific embodiments only. In other cases, it will be recognized that references to the "invention" will refer to subject matter recited in one or more, but not necessarily all, of the claims.

[0045] Groupings of alternative elements or embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member can be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other members of the group or other elements found herein. One or more members of a group can be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is herein deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all groups used in the appended claims.

[0046] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particulars claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogues to “at least one of A, B and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B”.
