Phased Array
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced non-destructive testing method that can be used for a wide range of different tasks. PAUT is widely used in several industrial sectors, such as construction, pipelines and power generation.
Testa can carry out PAUT on welds or components, indentifying the exact location of any flaws within the weld, as well as determining the thickness of any component/pipeline and determine any corrosion on the inside of pipelines. Phased Array is commonly used on District Heating pipework and Boiler Tube Welds. As well as on gas pipelines.
The advantages of PAUT include: increased flaw detection, on-site inspection, faster inspection speeds, provides a permanent record, more reliable results and increased safety.
At Testa, all the NDT technicians we use, are qualified to industry recognised PCN (personnel certification in non-destructive testing) in accordance with BS EN ISO 9712.
