Effective and efficient inspection with automated ultrasonic testing
/tuv-rheinland-automated-ultrasonic-testing_core_1_x.png "Advantages of Automated Ultrasonic Testing")
The inspection of small bore piping welds has always been challenging. Ultrasonic methods such as Phased Array have traditionally provided good alternatives to radiographic inspection. New automated ultrasonic testing now offers the opportunity to quickly and easily identify transfer cracks perpendicular to the scan direction as well as recognize indications in the root penetration area. AUT inspection is fast and eco-friendly, requiring no interruption due to ionizing radiation. Save time and money with license-free AUT inspection and no extra storage costs for radioactive sources. AUT provides fast results, which are then digitally stored for your convenience.
