The Emergence and Development of Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing Techniques

March/April 2023 Inspectioneering Journal

A look back to when phased array systems were first developed in the 1960s and how the uses and technology have evolved throughout the decades to present day.
Tri-Lateral Phased Array: A Novel Technique for Identifying Wet H2S Damage

January/February 2022 Inspectioneering Journal

Within one unit, TriLat combines the power of two probes containing three angle beam sets to identify and quantify cracking at early stages. The result is inspection speeds up to ten times faster than traditional AUT systems, depending on probe size.

Into the Grain - Advancements in HTHA Detection Methods - Part 1

May/June 2021 Inspectioneering Journal

Hydrogen-induced damage mechanisms have been studied endlessly, leading to changes in equipment design and development of new inspection practices. However, the highly localized nature and difficulty of detection of HTHA add additional complexities.
Comparing Conventional AUT and Phased Array AUT Corrosion Mapping

September/October 2022 Inspectioneering Journal

Utilizing automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) for corrosion mapping to detect and quantify damage can play an important role in an effective MI program. This article compares two common off-the-shelf AUT technologies used for corrosion mapping.

Webinar Overview

Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) was developed as a complementary application to conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) where the sound beam is steered and focused at designated areas in the material. Advanced techniques such as Tri-Lateral Phased Array (TriLat), Full Matrix Capture (FMC), and Plane Wave Imaging (PWI) coupled with software imaging have high data fidelity and superior resolution to identify, characterize, and measure defects in the base metal and weld seams of fixed equipment. Phased array is a quantifiable approach for pinpointing mid-wall or internal diameter damage, with the resolution required to differentiate between manufacturing defects and in-service damage such as blistering, cracking, pitting, and weld flaws.

Inspectioneering teams up with Gecko Robotics for our webinar, "Advanced Phased Array Techniques for Defect Identification and Characterization," to discuss the deployment of advanced phased array techniques, along with their benefits, limitations, and stories from the field.
