What is PAUT?

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses multiple ultrasonic transducers to generate and receive sound waves. These transducers are arranged in an array and can be pulsed individually, allowing for beam steering, focusing, and shaping. PAUT is commonly used for detecting flaws and characterizing materials in a wide range of applications, including weld inspection, corrosion mapping, and thickness measurement. It offers advantages over conventional UT methods, such as improved defect detection, higher speed, and greater flexibility.
