Expose vulnerable components with state-of-the-art phased array ultrasonic testing
Phased array (PA) is widely used in several industrial sectors, from power generation to construction. It is an advanced non-destructive testing method using ultrasonic technology to help professionals working in the oil and gas industry to assess component quality and identify risk factors.
We provide a comprehensive portfolio of PA inspection services to support our clients in their efforts to ensure the safe, reliable, efficient and productive operation of their individual system components. Our phased array ultrasonic testing can be used on special geometries (i.e. nozzles) as well as on standard and special materials like austenitic and high alloy materials while evaluating assets, protecting investment and sustaining profitability.
Our experts from TÜV Rheinland Sonovation are specialized in providing a complete range of a services. Acknowledged as leaders in the field, we invest heavily in R&D, operate an accredited training school for advanced NDT and provide expert services globally.

Track the condition of your critical components with regular phased array inspection
/tuv-rheinland-visual-phased-array-en_core_1_x.png "Benefit from the advantages of our phased array services.")
We can provide you with simplified inspection of complex components made up of many different materials at temperatures of up to 400°C. By using only one phased array probe it is possible to perform several inspections without changing the transducer assembly. Faster than conventional ultrasonic testing, our inspections are conducted by qualified technicians to maximize the probability of detection and identifying potential problems like flaws and cracks. We present you reliable digital data results in an easy-to-understand graphic format. Our phased array inspection services help you make sure your business stays up and running.
Our ultrasonic phased array testing methodology
Prior to any inspection, our expert inspectors perform comprehensive consultancy services regarding the suitability of your technical application. Once we have determined that our phased array ultrasonic testing is appropriate for your application, we will expeditiously schedule your inspection.
Within our comprehensive phased array testing, our inspectors will:
- Create customized beams using multiple ultrasonic elements and time delays.
- Determine the optimal angle and focus control to detect flaws.
- Take special precautions such as probe cooling when necessary.
- Collect and store data using a broad range of phased array equipment
- Create inspection setups by using our in-house ScanPlan® software.
- Process information to produce a visual image.
- Prepare inspection reports and interpret data output.
Our phased array technology can be used to inspect welds, measure thickness, detect suspicious cracks and flaws and to identify and monitor potentially harmful corrosion.
Augmented by a database holding a number of basic geometries and weld preparations, our ScanPlan® software can be adjusted to properly examine any component. Inspection quality is maximized by the instant visualization of core changes and the generation of easy-to-understand report formats ready to be immediately exported for closer analysis. In addition, ScanPlan® records all parameters and results of your inspection for subsequent revision and evaluation.
