Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced non-destructive testing technique that utilizes multiple ultrasonic elements and electronic beam steering to generate focused ultrasonic beams. This technology allows for precise control of the beam angle, focal depth, and beam shape, making it highly effective for inspecting complex geometries and detecting defects in materials.
Applications of Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing :
Weld Inspection:
Corrosion Mapping
Composite Inspection
Bond Inspection
Thickness MeasurementAdvantages of Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing:
High Resolution: PAUT provides high-resolution imaging of internal structures and defects, enabling precise defect detection and characterization, even in complex geometries and multi-layered materials.
Flexible Inspection: It offers flexibility in beam steering, focusing, and scanning, allowing for customized inspection
Rapid Inspection: PAUT can perform inspections quickly and efficiently, reducing inspection times
Real-Time Imaging: It provides real-time imaging of inspected areas, allowing for immediate analysis and decision-making regarding the disposition of components or structures.
Data Storage and Analysis: PAUT systems often include advanced data storage and analysis capabilities, enabling comprehensive documentation, post-processing, and reporting of inspection results.
