Group Description
Welcome to [NDT Inspection Portal]’s phased array ultrasonics (PAUT) group, a place for professionals to connect and discuss the latest techniques and technologies in phased array ultrasonic inspection. PAUT is a non-destructive testing method that uses a phased array ultrasonic probe to inspect the condition of components such as pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels. The probe consists of a number of individual ultrasonic elements that can be activated independently, allowing the direction and focus of the ultrasonic waves to be controlled in real-time. Our member group offers a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices on PAUT and its applications in various industries. Join our community of experts from around the world and be a part of the conversation on advancing the practice of phased array ultrasonic inspection.
Reply To: MUT vs PAUT pitting detection
Has anybody else experienced something similar on the job? We do know limitations in UT / MUT but in many cases clients would ask for corrosion scanning on old pipe or vessel where scanning surface is not perfect and would expect perfect results every time.
Our working environment is not office lab and every now and then when you lose a signal on A scan display, would you think its pitting like this or just lack of couplant or bad surface?
