Phased array testing helps make corrosion inspection fast and efficient. Our operators are trained and qualified to collect higher resolution data with fully encoded C-scan imaging. These images give a real top view color print of the internal surface.
With TRL Phased Array probes and a dedicated 2-axisscanner TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium offers efficient inspection options for detecting loss of wall thickness due to corrosion, abrasion, and erosion. This technique can also detect mid-wall damage, such as hydrogen-induced blistering or manufacturing-induced laminations, and easily differentiate these anomalies from loss of wall thickness.
Phased array ultrasonics (PA) is an advanced method of ultrasonic testing that has applications in medical imaging and industrial nondestructive testing. The Phased Array technique used for weld volume examination is fully code compliant (ISO and ASME) and can be used for welds starting thickness 6mm up to 125mm. This technique requires access from one side of the weld and can be used for vessels or piping (from 1”) in carbon or stainless steel.
With dedicated scanners and probes TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium offers rapid weld inspection that can replace radiography during day-time with only one operator. Our trained and highly experienced operators will compare the dimensions of detected flaws to ISO or ASME acceptance criteria and the report is generated the same day on site. Dangerous irradiation (RT) is not present. No need to develop films or travel to the dark room office.
