What Is PAUT Structural Weld Inspection?

PAUT Structural Weld Inspection is an advanced ultrasonic inspection approach used to evaluate the condition of welded structural joints through phased array beam steering, multi-angle examination, and improved flaw characterization capability. It is particularly useful for the inspection of butt welds, T-joints, connection welds, reinforcement areas, repair welds, and selected critical sections requiring detailed assessment.

Compared with conventional ultrasonic inspection methods, PAUT offers improved scan flexibility, better indication visualization, and stronger support for flaw detection, sizing, and interpretation. It is especially valuable where structural welds are safety-critical, load-bearing, fatigue-prone, or subject to challenging service conditions.

PAUT structural weld inspection can support the evaluation of:
➤ Structural butt weld quality
➤ Connection welds and heavy section joints
➤ Crack-related indications
➤ Lack of fusion and lack of penetration
➤ Volumetric and planar discontinuities
➤ Repair weld condition
➤ Fabrication defects in structural joints
➤ In-service degradation concerns in selected accessible areas
➤ Critical load-bearing welds requiring detailed condition review
