Patent number: 11790519Abstract: A non-destructive testing (NDT) system can provide a tree model of an inspection on a display of an NDT device and on a web page configured in a web browser on a computing device coupled to the NDT device. Inspection data acquired using the NDT device can be provided in real-time as the inspection data is associated with a node configured in the tree model. The NDT system can generate an inspection tree model based on an inspection template including a template tree model. Defect properties, inspection instructions, and/or image transforms can be applied to nodes of the template tree model such that the generated inspection tree model includes the applied defect properties, inspection instructions, and/or image transforms, which can then be applied to the inspection data acquired at the inspection point location corresponding to each node.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Baker Hughes, A GE Company, LLCInventors: Ritwick Jana, Bryan David Maule, Michael Christopher Domke, thomas Durkee Britton, Robert Scott Lockhart
