Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced non-destructive testing method utilizing a series of elements in a single transducer housing. The elements are pulsed using computed time delays allowing the ultrasonic beam to be steered in a desired direction and focused at a desired depth. PAUT is commonly used for weld inspection, crack detection and sizing, volumetric inspection of larger components such as forgings and castings, and corrosion mapping.
