Precise weld evaluation
How does phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) work?
In phased array ultrasonic testing, W.S. Werkstoff Service examines components non-destructively using electronically controlled ultrasonic waves. A probe with multiple transducer elements directs sound beams into the material. These can be steered, focused and adapted to the testing task without mechanically reconfiguring the probe. Reflections from cracks, lack of fusion or other irregularities are recorded and displayed as images. This allows precise assessment of welds, forgings, cast components and complex geometries. The results are evaluated and documented in a traceable manner.
