Phased Array Ultrasonics (PAUT) offers significant advancements over conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT), making it a preferred choice for many applications:
- Enhanced Defect Detection: PAUT utilizes multiple ultrasonic beams and electronically controlled probes, allowing for precise control of the beam angles, focal points, and coverage. This results in improved defect detection, especially in complex geometries and materials with anisotropic properties.
- Single-Scan Inspection: PAUT can often replace multiple conventional UT scans with a single scan due to its ability to electronically steer and focus the ultrasonic beam. This reduces inspection time and improves efficiency.
