7.0 Processing Software
Software brand: HUATEC
Software version: Ver 20.21.10.16
It has a one-click detection function. The operator selects the pipe diameter, wall thickness, weld number, flange, compensation, radiographic method, equipment movement direction, effective area, and Beidou coordinates (such as Tokyo, north latitude) based on the preset parameters of the inspected pipeline in the software database.
The relevant parameters are selectable (once selected, they will be printed on the image and cannot be changed). The system automatically calculates the number of frames required to detect the entire weld seam of this pipe based on the preset parameters and stores them. The software has an intervention function for humans, allowing for adjustment of exposure time, frame count, etc., and the number of frames can be adjusted according to the parameter settings.
