Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing: Year-End Roundup
Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) uses multiple ultrasonic elements and electronic time delays to generate and receive ultrasound, creating beams by constructive and destructive interference. As such, phased array offers significant technical advantages over conventional single-probe ultrasonic testing: the phased array beams can be steered, scanned, swept, and focused electronically. PAUT continues to be an […]
Benefits of Software Beamforming for Ultrasonic Inspections
This blog post is provided by The Phased Array Company, an ASNT Affiliate Partner. Sponsored content . by Nans Laroche Introduction The development of multi-element probes has favored the generalization of ultrasonic imaging methods for nondestructive testing (NDT). The reconstruction of a spatial image from temporal multi-element data is called beamforming. Early ultrasonic signal measurement […]
UT Drones in Material Evaluation: Automated Exterior UT Inspections of Aboveground Storage Tank Shells in Class 1 Division 2 (ATEX Zone 2) Hazardous Locations
Drones have become common for remote visual inspection of industrial assets, in part because they provide so much data, including data for things a human sometimes can’t see.
ASNT Launches First Annual UT Competition
ASNT is excited to announce the introduction of a new ultrasonic testing (UT) competition at ASNT 2022: The Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
Ultrasonic Flaw Length Measurement
To determine if transducer diameter affects the accuracy of flaw length measurements because of near field more than beam spread, an experiment was performed.
Ultrasonic NDT Testing Equipment Market – Growth, Trends, Forecasts (2020-2025)
The major drivers for the UT equipment market’s growth include increasing investments in infrastructure-related activities, government safety regulations, and the mandated use of NDT techniques for gaining clearances.
