ATS’ Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing Services
Applied Technical Services offers phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT), an advanced inspection method that combines phased array (PA) inspections with ultrasonic testing (UT). Our experts use a phased array probe to produce a steerable, tightly focused, high-resolution beam that creates a detailed image slice of a structure or weld, making it easy to identify flaws or discontinuities. One of the advanced features of PA testing is the ability to view the scan in real time from a remote location.
Common Findings
- Flaws in Structural Metals
- Stress Corrosion Cracking
- Shrinkage Cracks
- Stringers
- Laminations and Seams
- Hydrogen Flakes
- Slag
- Bond Lines and Lack of Fusion
- Porosity
