Utilizing TFM/FMC for Detection of Flange Face Corrosion

May/June 2020 Inspectioneering Journal

This article demonstrates how the use of TFM/FMC can be an effective method to screen for potential problem flanges before a planned shut down and can be a very useful tool in planning which flanges require further evaluation.
What is Phase Coherence Imaging and How Does it Work?

Blog

Phase coherence imaging (PCI) is a new advanced ultrasonic inspection technique that produces live total focusing method (TFM) images with unprecedented clarity and sensitivity to small defects.

This video explains the basic principles behind Full Matrix Capture (FMC), an acquisition strategy used to acquire all the waveform possible for a given phased array probe. The fundamental difference with phased array resides in the firing sequence of the individual elements of the probe.
