True Advancements for Longitudinal Seam Weld Inspection in Phased Array

Phased Array inspection of curved parts brings some real technical challenges.

#

Evaluation of seam welds on small diameter and heavy wall pipes is difficult to accomplish using actual tools that, most of the time, are based on a flat surface model.

This paper presents a new approach of inspecting seam welds and more generally curved parts, the Phased Array - Curved Surface Correction (PA-CSC).
