NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Phased-Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)

• No radiation safety hazard issues
• Ensures continuous work, unlike RT wherein work area requires isolation of workers.
• Better detection of planar defects (such as cracks, lack of fusion, and lack of penetration)
• Complete details on the dimensions, i.e., length, depth, and height of weld imperfection, whereas RT can only produce the length of weld imperfection.
• Vertical sizing capability
• Real-time displays
• Great flexibility in parameter range
• Compliant with known codes
• The JCC Scanner with the NDTPI Technology 100% Boiler Tube Inspection with Phased-Array. Defects can be marked for repair immediately following examination with the JCC Phased-Array technique without loss of On-Site Production, thus significantly reducing costs. Accurate location & Sizing of weld defects also reduce both repair rates & repair excavation time. Advantages of JCC-PAUT Inspection include the following:
* Increases speed of scanning over most methods.
* Zero loss of On-site production
* Improved weld quality
* Reduced repair rates
* Significant overall saving on projects cost
* Increased Safety
* Real time results
* Auditable and Recordable results
* Proven success (Reliability & Integrity)
* Code - Complaint ultrasonic phased-array technique
* Defects located & sized to a high degree of accuracy
* Environmentally friendly (no radiation)
* Better detection of crack & crack lite (LOF & LOP) defects
