Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing
Finer Details
CANEIL has significantly enhanced its ability to deliver Phase Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) services in response to its growing adoption within the industry. In recent years, PAUT has experienced a remarkable advancement in both capability and acceptance, particularly within the oil and gas sector. Offering far greater levels of information, flexibility, and detection capabilities compared to traditional Ultrasonic Testing (UT), PAUT provides more precise and comprehensive insights, improving the overall effectiveness of inspections and assessments.

Phase Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) enables faster and more comprehensive scans of welds and large area map scanning compared to traditional shear-wave UT. It provides the added benefit of clear visualization of the beam path and any defects detected within it. Additionally, PAUT allows for the generation of a permanent scan record, which can be provided to clients for future reference and documentation.
