Phased Array (PAUT) Inspection

NDT

Non destructive testing is a technique used to test and analyse different materials. With NDT, the properties, structure and component of materials can easily be established. The main use at Schwartz NDT is the evaluation of welds: we make sure that if there are any discontinuities in the metal, the equipment can still be used safely.

As the name suggests, non destructive testing allows an examination to be carried out without having to destroy or dismantle the part to be examined. This is very practical for large infrastructures such as bridges, dams, penstocks, rails, attractions etc.

In addition, we have the advantage of being specialised in rope access work, which allows us to easily access these sometimes hard-to-reach structures.

How does it work?

There are many ways to carry out non destructive testing. The technique we choose to use will depend on what we are examining and the customer’s request: phased array (PAUT), time of flight diffraction (TOFD), vacuum box, ultrasonic (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MT), penetrant inspection (PT), visual inspection (VT), or ACFM (Alternating Current Field Measurements)
