Advanced Ultrasonic Inspection for Critical Industrial Assets
At Great Lakes Testing, we provide advanced Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) services for industrial piping, pressure vessels, and paper mill equipment. PAUT is a highly capable nondestructive examination (NDE) method that provides detailed volumetric inspection and imaging of welds and components, helping identify and evaluate internal discontinuities without damaging the asset.
Phased array technology utilizes multiple ultrasonic elements that can be electronically controlled, steered, and focused to examine a component from multiple angles. This provides comprehensive examination coverage while generating permanent digital inspection data that can be reviewed, analyzed, and documented.
PAUT Applications
Great Lakes Testing provides PAUT examinations for a variety of critical industrial applications, including:
- Process and industrial piping
- Pressure vessels and vessel welds
- Paper mill equipment and piping
- Fabricated weldments and critical components
- In-service and new construction inspections
PAUT can be used to detect and evaluate discontinuities such as lack of fusion, incomplete penetration, cracks, slag inclusions, and other internal indications that may affect the integrity of a component.
Standards & Industry Requirements
Our PAUT examinations are performed in accordance with applicable ASME, AWS, and API requirements, as well as project specifications and client-specific procedures. Our goal is to provide accurate, reliable inspection results while maintaining the documentation and traceability required for critical industrial assets.
