Developments in phased array technology offer potential for radical improvements in inspection performance and economy. Unlike a conventional probe, a phased array probe consists of a large number of independent crystals

  

WHY HAVE PHASED ARRAY BE YOUR CHOICE OF INSPECTION?

• Flexibility: set-ups can be changed in a few minutes, and typically a lot more component dimensional flexibility is available.

• Inspection angles: a wide variety of inspection angles can be used, depending on the requirements and the array

• Imaging: showing a “true depth” image of defects

• Quality: permanent recording and imaging provides weld map

• Detect ability/reliability: Eliminate the subjective of the manual UT inspection, Reduction in rejection

• Precise measurements: Flaw measurements can be electronically, precise location of flaws (length, amplitude, depth, and height)

• Improve defect detection capability

• Improve defect sizing

• Improve reliability and signal interpretation

• Ability to sweep the focal point of the beam through the inspection volume

• Results are available within minutes of the inspection.

• Inspections can be done while welding  operations are taking place.

• No additional safety requirements 

• All data is archived for auditing and reviewing purposes
