Phased Array (PAUT) Setup Builder
Professional acoustic modeling for advanced volumetric inspection. Plan focal laws and verify beam steering with precision.
Precision Acoustic Coverage & Focal Law Generation
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is the industry standard for high-integrity weld inspections and corrosion mapping. However, the complexity of PAUT requires rigorous scan planning to ensure the acoustic beam hits the intended target with the correct steering angle. The NDTExchange PAUT Setup Builder provides Level III specialists with a high-fidelity simulation environment to optimize their setups before field mobilization.
Our builder allows users to configure probe element counts, pitch, and frequency alongside complex wedge geometries. It facilitates the generation of focal laws that ensure 100% volumetric coverage of the fusion line and heat-affected zone (HAZ) in weld applications. By visualizing the beam steering and sensitivity at different angles, technicians can eliminate blind spots and improve the probability of detection (POD).
