Phased Array Ultrasonic
Phased Array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) is an advanced form of non-destructive testing (NDT) that utilizes sound waves to detect flaws in welds, castings and forgings. This method of testing is highly accurate and can detect flaws that may be missed by other methods.
PAUT works by sending a beam of sound waves through the material being tested and then analyzing the reflections from the material. By controlling the timing, frequency and amplitude of the sound waves, the technician can detect flaws in the material, such as cracks, porosity and other defects. This method of testing is much faster and more accurate than traditional ultrasonic testing, as it can detect flaws that may be too small to be detected by other methods.
PAUT is a valuable tool for ensuring the quality of welds, castings and forgings. It can detect flaws that may not be visible to the naked eye and can help identify potential problems before they become serious. Additionally, it can be used to detect changes in the material over time, helping to ensure that the material remains in good condition. PAUT is an invaluable tool for any industry that relies on welds, castings and forgings.
