Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is a highly advanced NDT method that represents a
significant leap forward from conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT). Instead of a single transducer, PAUT uses a probe composed of numerous small, independently pulsed ultrasonic elements. By precisely controlling the timing and sequencing of these elements with a computer, we can steer and focus the ultrasonic beam electronically. This capability allows for the inspection of complex geometries and large areas with a single pass, drastically increasing both speed and efficiency.

The PAUT Advantage

PAUT delivers a range of benefits that traditional UT cannot match:

•  Superior Speed: PAUT can complete inspections in a fraction of the time required by singleprobe methods, minimizing downtime and accelerating project schedules
•  Enhanced Data Visualization: Our PAUT equipment generates real-time, two-dimensional cross-sectional images (B-scans and C-scans) of the test object. This provides a clear, detailed, and easily interpretable visual representation of a flaw's size, depth, and location.
• Complex Geometry Inspection: The ability to electronically sweep the beam without physical
  probe movement allows us to inspect intricate shapes and challenging geometries, such as weld crowns, with unparalleled accuracy.
  • High Repeatability: The computer-controlled nature of PAUT ensures a high degree of repeatability, making it ideal for baseline inspections and subsequent monitoring programs.

PAUT is a go-to solution for critical applications such as weld inspections, crack detection, and corrosion mapping. By choosing our PAUT services, you are leveraging state-of-the-art technology to gain faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive insights into the integrity of your assets
