Course Overview
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced ultrasonic method that uses multiple probe elements and controlled timing to steer, focus, and scan the sound beam electronically. This course is designed for technicians who want to move beyond conventional UT into high-resolution weld inspection and data-driven interpretation.
Training Course Objective
- Understand phased array principles, beam steering, focal laws, and sectorial scans.
- Operate PAUT equipment for welds, components, and critical applications.
- Build practical skills in setup, calibration, scanning plans, and sensitivity checks.
- Interpret B-scan, C-scan, S-scan, and encoded inspection results.
- Develop reporting practices aligned with industrial codes and procedures.
Key Topics Covered
- Probe construction and electronic beam control
- Sectorial scanning and linear scanning techniques
- Weld inspection setup and scan planning
- Calibration using reference blocks
- Data acquisition, imaging, and interpretation
- Defect sizing, characterization, and documentation
- PAUT applications in fabrication, process plants, and critical welds
