These images capture the intricate process of Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) being conducted on a pipe weld. PAUT is a sophisticated non-destructive testing technique that utilizes multiple ultrasonic elements and time delays to create beams that can be steered, scanned, swept, and focused electronically. This advanced method provides…

Guided wave testing uses a low-frequency ultrasound operating between 20-100kHz compared to the conventional ultrasonics MHz frequency range used for thickness checks. This allows the ultrasound to be broadcast away from the tool and axially along the pipe in GWT. When this broadcast ultrasound encounters a change in cross-section, the change…
