  PAUT Probe types

  There are several different types of phased array ultrasonic probes, each of which is designed for a specific application or use. Some common types of phased array probes include:

  • Linear array probes: These probes have a linear arrangement of elements, which produce a line-shaped beam that is used to scan a surface. They are often used for inspections that require a wide field of view, such as weld inspection or corrosion mapping.

  • Sector array probes: These probes have a sector-shaped arrangement of elements, which produce a sector-shaped beam that is used to scan curved or angled surfaces. They are often used for inspections that require a focused, directional beam, such as thickness measurements or flaw detection.

  • Focused probes: These probes have a single element or a small group of elements that produce a highly focused, directional beam. They are often used for inspections that require a high level of resolution and penetration, such as weld inspection or material characterization.

  • Dual-element probes: These probes have two elements that are arranged in a way that allows them to produce both a linear and a focused beam. They are often used for inspections that require both a wide field of view and a high level of resolution, such as corrosion mapping or flaw detection.

  • Multiplexed probes: These probes have a large number of elements that can be independently controlled to produce a variety of different beam shapes and angles. They are often used for complex inspections that require a high degree of flexibility, such as structural health monitoring or material characterization.
