01 / ULTRASONIC EXAMINATION

PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC TESTING (PAUT)

Our phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) services support weld examination and pipeline integrity applications. Electronically controlled beam steering and focusing allow detailed inspection data to be recorded for discontinuity detection, characterization, and evaluation in accordance with the applicable procedure.

  • Pipeline long-seam examinations
  • Girth-weld inspections
  • Encoded weld scanning
  • Crack and weld discontinuity detection
  • Digital examination records and reporting
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) ultrasonic weld inspection
02 / WELD EXAMINATION

TIME OF FLIGHT DIFFRACTION (TOFD)

TOFD uses diffracted ultrasonic signals to detect and size certain discontinuities. Depending on the application, it may be used alongside PAUT to provide complementary weld examination information.

  • Weld discontinuity detection
  • Through-wall flaw sizing
  • Recorded ultrasonic inspection data
  • Complementary PAUT and TOFD examinations

03 / CORROSION EVALUATION

AUTOMATED ULTRASONIC CORROSION MAPPING

Encoded ultrasonic mapping captures wall-thickness measurements across an inspected area, supporting detailed assessment and documentation of metal loss.

  • HydroFORM and FlexoFORM applications
  • Automated thickness mapping
  • Corrosion feature characterization
  • Digital thickness and inspection records
  • Integrity excavation support

04 / DIMENSIONAL ASSESSMENT

CREAFORM 3D SCANNING

Portable 3D scanning captures detailed surface geometry to support dimensional measurements, feature characterization, and digital documentation of inspected components.

  • Corrosion feature geometry measurement
  • Surface profile documentation
  • Dimensional inspection
  • Digital 3D models and records
  • Component geometry comparison
