FULL MATRIX CAPTURE PHASED ARRAY(FMC/TFM)

FULL MATRIX CAPTURE PHASED ARRAY(FMC/TFM)

Full matrix capture (FMC) & Total focusing method (TFM) is a new technique of phased array (PAUT) as per 2019 edition of ASME code. FMC is data acquisition technique and, TFM is data processing technique acquired by FMC.

Advanced tools like total focusing method (TFM) used for inspecting weld & corrosion or other challenging damage mechanisms, such as HTHA and HIC.

Since TFM is a focusing technique so it has high POD and is more accurate for sizing as compared to normal phased Array and gives us the true shape of defect
