Phased Array offers definitive advantages over conventional ultrasonic by providing imaging that can often produce more accurate results, and like most imaging techniques, provides a higher level of reproducible results while minimizing human error. Phased Array also allows for enhanced coverage of a given component or weld from fixed and multiple positions including achieving beam coverage on complex geometries where conventional ultrasonic techniques were inadequate. Some of the many applications for Phased Array are as follows:

Weld inspections

• New construction; rigorous ASME, API, AWS and other UT in lieu of RT inspections
  • Pressure boundary welds; i.e. girth, long seam and nozzles
  • Non-pressure boundary welds; i.e. attachment welds, tray welds, gussets, etc.
• In service rigorous on-stream inspection program including high temperature up to 700F
  • Pressure vessels, reactors and piping
  • Pipeline integrity

Critical flaw sizing and monitoring

Some additional applications may include:

• Flanges; graylock, raised face, ring groove, etc. for cracking or corrosion
• Bolts, shafts, pins
• Tube to header welds
• Turbine blades
• Most any other component with an area for access to provide Phased Array

Advantages of using Core’s Phased Array:

• Faster process than manual ultrasonic testing
• Higher reliability
• Enhanced quality and accuracy
• Increased probability of detection
• No radiation exclusion zone
• Ability to test welds with multiple angles using a single probe
• Data can be captured, stored and referenced at a later date
• Proven, qualified procedures
