Crack Detection

Phased Array (PAUT) Probes for Crack Detection and Monitoring

The identification of cracks in a material or component is a crucial aspect of NDT. This process helps in identifying the size, location, and presence of cracks that can potentially weaken the material or component and eventually lead to disastrous accidents.

Crack Detection

  • In the Oil & Gas sector, PAUT probes can detect cracks in pipelines and storage tanks, preventing potential hazards

  • In Power Generation, PAUT probes can detect cracks in steam turbine blades and generator rotors, preventing catastrophic failures

  • PAUT can be utilized in Aerospace for detecting cracks in critical components like turbine blades, wing structures, and landing gear.

  • For the Automotive industry, these probes can detect cracks in engine blocks, crankshafts, and suspension components to prevent failures.

Improved accuracy and resolution

PAUT probes produce highly detailed images that provide a clear view of the inspected material, which can help detect smaller and more subtle cracks that might be missed by other inspection techniques.

Improved accuracy and resolution

Greater flexibility

PAUT probes can be customized to fit specific inspection needs, as the number and configuration of the transducers can be adjusted to optimize the inspection process for a particular material or application.
