Semi-automated Phased Array Ultrasound Examination

Phased Array Ultrasound Examination (PAUT) - Semi-automatic

PAUT uses one or more multi-element transducers (16–64), each individually pulsed to generate ultrasonic beams at varying angles. This technology allows complete weld coverage and rapid detection of internal defects (cracks, inclusions), with real-time visual display on the screen.

Advantages:

  • Speed ​​and reliability – inspects the entire length of the weld, without x-ray film or developer

  • High accuracy and fast analysis through dedicated software

  • Accuracy up to 300 mm, superior to radiography at large thicknesses

  • Immediate results, directly on site

Used equipments:

  • OmniScan X3

  • AxSEAM Scanner

  • Scanner SteerROVER

At AMG Welding Training SRL, we use PAUT for a fast, accurate and safe evaluation of welds and metal structures.
