PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC TESTING (PAUT)
PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC TESTING (PAUT)
PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC TESTING (PAUT) technique are being employed in various applications during manufacturing process or onshore and offshore in-service such as Weld inspection and corrosion mapping on Pressure vessel, Piping, Storage Tanks. Electro fusion butt weld inspection. Composites bond testing in aviation etc.
Advantage of Phased Array
- Large area coverage — up to 10 times faster than conventional UT
- Ability to use multiple elements to steer, focus, and scan beams with a single probe
- Effective inspection of components with complex geometries
- Safe replacement for radiography — no radiation hazards
- Permanent digital data record — results can be reviewed or audited anytime
