Paut and Tofd Inspection

We have experience in planning, managing and carrying out PAUT & TOFD Services. We advise

and develop PAUT & TOFD procedures and have specialist scanning equipment for carrying out inspections.

We also provide PAUT & TOFD inspection simultaneously which increases the probability of defect

detection and measurement of length and height of the defect to a high precision. This helps in detecting and

discriminating the fatigue cracks which leads to catastrophic failures.

Applications

High-speed inspection using single-axis scans instead of conventional raster scan
Near-optimal focal length and focal spot for various areas of complex parts or thick components
Small, simple probe assembly with multiple beams from a single probe
Easy-to-install, one-axis scanning systems
Better detection in austenitic materials and dissimilar metal (DM) welds
Alternative to Radiographic imaging

Full record of examined weld sections in A-Scan, B-Scan, C-Scan, D-Scan and TOFD Scan presentation. Storage of full examination results
Real Time vision on quality of welds by the operator during examination
Accuracy in sizing the through thickness dimensions
High sensitivity in detecting planar, vertical or oriented defects like cracks or lack of fusion not visible by radiography and hardly to detect by standard ultrasonic pulse echo technique. For these reasons ASME Code with the Code Case 2235 has permitted to perform on pressure vessel welds TOFD examination in lieu of radiography
Full control on contact effectiveness and coverage by examining the TOFD map in any time after the examination
Supervision of the examination in the dynamic way as during the scanning on your PC in the office or far away the job.
