A powerful and advanced NDT technique, Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) enables fast, accurate, and reliable inspection of critical assets. Clients benefit from high-resolution, real-time visualisation of defects and significantly reduced inspection times compared to conventional UT methods.

Key Advantages:

• Detect critical defects such as cracks, lack of fusion, and porosity in structural welds
• Map corrosion and wall loss with precision through detailed thickness profiling
• Faster inspections – scan up to 3× quicker than conventional UT
• Real-time imaging for immediate assessment and faster decision-making
• No need to move the probe – steer, focus, and scan electronically
• Ideal for complex geometries – excellent coverage of welds, nozzles, and difficult-to-access areas
• Accurate defect sizing and positioning to support repair planning and fitness-for-service assessments
• Digital data recording for traceability, reporting, and long-term integrity management.

Used alongside our full suite of ultrasonic testing tools, PAUT helps maintain offshore asset integrity efficiently – without interrupting operations.
