PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC TESTING
(PAUT)

An array transducer is simply one that contains a number of separate elements in a single housing, and phasing refers to how those elements are sequentially pulsed. A phased array system is normally based around a specialized ultrasonic transducer that contains many individual elements (typically from 16 to 256) that can be pulsed separately in a programmed pattern. These transducers may be used with various types of wedges, in a contact mode, or in immersion testing.

APPLICATIONS

• Weld inspection – Structural / Piping
• Corrosion Mapping
• High Temperature PAUT up to 200°C (Weld Inspection / Corrosion Mapping)
• PAUT in lieu of Radiography Testing (ASME Sec VIII, API 620, ASME B31.3, B31.1)
