Conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT) vs. Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
Until 2020 Phased Array UT was not recognized in D1.1 (Only Conventional UT)
![Page 11: Phased Array UT is Now in the AWS D1.1 Code – What Will That … · 2020. 10. 14. · tsdos.org Phased Array UT is Now in the AWS D1.1 Code – What Will That Change for NDT of](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022053120/60a337dfe59f7c120a24ba6d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT)• Ultrasonic Testing
Method uses high frequency sound waves traveling through a part to detect discontinuities.

Conventional UT• A single
piezoelectric element is acoustically coupled with a part to generate the sound wave for a full volumetric inspection.

Conventional UT• Technician relies
on a scanning pattern to achieve the full volumetric inspection.
• Scanning is performed along 2 axis with an added oscillation (Movement A).

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
Phased Array UT (PAUT) uses a probe built from multiple elements (16 to 128+) of the same frequency acting in unison as an array.

PAUT Beam SteeringAs waves from each element interact based on designed focal laws, phasing effects increase or decrease wave energies at the point of combination to steer or focus the beam.
