PA UT (PAUT): Longitudinal Seams (Welds)

ISONIC EXPERT CU software application was created for the inspection of the:

  • longitudinal seams (welds) with symmetrical bevel in the tubes, vessels, and the like
  • parent material in the tubes, pressure vessels, solid and hollow shafts, and the like for the longitudinal cracks
with use of the wedged linear array probes situated on the OD surface of the parent material

ISONIC EXPERT CU IN software application was created for the inspection of the:

  • longitudinal seams (welds) with symmetrical bevel in the tubes, vessels, and the like
  • parent material in the tubes, pressure vessels, hollow shafts, and the like for the longitudinal cracks
with use of the wedged linear array probes situated on the ID surface of the parent material
