Phased Array UT is a common inspection technique used for a wide
variety of inspection and measurement applications, and can be used for any job
done by conventional ultrasonics. PAUT is used to detect and image defects
including cracks, voids, and pits caused by corrosion. It can also be used to
measure material and coating thickness and to detect changes in material
properties. The Total Focusing Method (TFM) is an advanced ultrasonic
array technique which is used to synthetically focus at every point of a region
of interest. This webinar focuses on the analysis of both PAUT and TFM data of
weld inspections. The presenter will go through the analysis of common weld
discontinuities for different inspection strategies. The following two examples
will be addressed:
- Encoded 2PAUT + TOFD
- Encoded TFM
