Diseño de procedimientos de inspección de pernos mediante una técnica de ultrasonido en base a documentos estandarizados aplicables y obtención de patrones de examinación.

Abstract

This project focuses on addressing the crucial importance of bolt inspection in construction, especially in metal structures. Although these elements seem simple, their function is vital for the stability and strength of constructions. However, they face challenges such as corrosion and dynamic loads, which can compromise their integrity over time. In the specific context of Ecuador, the lack of established methodologies for bolt inspection using advanced technologies, such as ultrasound, poses a potential risk to structural safety. The main objective is to propose a specific methodology for bolt inspection using ultrasound, leveraging this effective technology to detect internal defects in metal materials. The aim is not only to identify possible defects but also to enhance safety and extend the lifespan of structures. Implementing this methodology aims to reduce risks associated with bolt degradation, establishing a standard for their inspection in various applications. The integration of advanced techniques will significantly contribute to the safety and reliability of structures, marking a fundamental advancement in bolt inspection in Ecuador.
