In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using a water jet ultrasound scanning system for condition monitoring of the shell of a rotating mining mill. The practical requirements of such a system were first analyzed, which shows that it is possible to achieve the spatial resolution of 1±1 mm, using a pulse-echo setup with a pulse repetition frequency of approximately 6 kHz. Experiments were then performed on a lab-scale prototype, where typical defects were introduced. The results show that it is possible to detect and image internal defects down to a size of around than 1 ± 0.4 mm.Validerad; 2013; 20130814 (ysko)Squirter Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge for Monitoring of Mining Mill Lining During Operation (SV: Mätning av tjocklek på kvarninfodring med ultraljud under drift
