A mercury target vessel has been used for the spallation neutron source at J-PARC. It has a complicated multi-layered structure composed of a mercury target and a surrounding double-walled water shroud, which is assembled with thin plates (minimum thickness of 3 mm) by welding. Thus, welding inspection during the manufacturing process is important. We investigated the applicability of new ultrasonic inspections using specimens (thickness of 3 mm) with defects to improve the accuracy of welding inspection for the mercury target vessel. Immersion ultrasonic testing using a probe (frequency of 50 MHz) could detect a spherical defect with a diameter of 0.2 mm. The size was smaller than target value of 0.4 mm. The length of unwelded region estimated using the phased array ultrasonic testing corresponded with the actual length (0.8 - 1.5 mm).

Ultrasonic Velocity Profiler (UVP) enables us to obtain the velocity profiles in liquid metals. It is obvious that any optical method of flow measurement cannot be applied since all the liquid metals are opaque. This meant that non-invasive flow measurement was not possible until the ultrasonic measurement has been established. In this short review, we explain the various measurement relut given by UVP.
