Phased array ultrasonic testing provides a permanent record, doesn't produce radiation and can be used for several applications. Because PAUT can detect defects at the surface and into the volume of a weld (with no dead zone), it also gives information about the lateral position of a defect (depth and height).

What is phased array ultrasonic testing used for?

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing ( PAUT ) is a focused inspection technique designed to incorporate beam technology to detect complex geometries & sizing defects.

What is phased array used for?

Phased arrays are used for a wide variety of inspection and measurement applications, and they can be used for any job done by conventional ultrasonics. For example, phased arrays are used to detect and image defects including cracks, voids, and pits caused by corrosion.
