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: Phased Array UT of thin walled Pipe
2mm MAY not be examined by PAUT successfully. I have no PAUT expericence with 2mm. But creep wave worth trying.
Above 3mm, you can try probe with A15 housing, with 16 elements generally. Maybe 5L16 or 7.5L16, but you need to try.
Key for such thin weld is the size of wedge. Smaller is better.
Shear wave is enough for such thin stainless steel.
