Abstract

Ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) technique is widely used for nondestructive testing (NDT) of pipelines. In structural health monitoring (SHM), this technique can used to continuously assess the health of these kind of structures. However, environmental conditions can affect UGW propagation and result in false indication of defects. This article describes and provides a database of UGW signals that were acquired at different temperatures during a long period of time. This database could be used to test the efficiency of temperature compensation methods. Besides, a corrosion like defect was created at the end of the monitoring period. Therefore, damage detection methods in SHM could be tested as well.
