    TOFD and phased array each have advantages for non-destructive testing. TOFD allows for permanent data recording and accurate sizing of defects. It can rapidly scan components and detect and size defects almost regardless of orientation. Phased array uses electronic scanning without probe movement, requires only a single probe, and allows for comprehensive and repeatable data collection at high speeds. It can inspect complex components and geometries more easily than other methods. Phased array also increases sensitivity to planar defects and provides capability to size defect depth.

    Advantages of TOFD & Phased Array

    TOFD Phased Array


    Permanent data recording (life Electronic scanning possible without moving probe
    Time) with B-scan type imaging forward and sideward
    Replaced multiple probes (only single probe use for

    Accurate sizing capability electronic focusing allows the use of a single probe
    (height)-through-wall height for working at different depths
    Comprehensive data collection with auditable,
    most critical for fracture repeatable results.
    mechanics. High-speed inspection using single-axis scans
    Technique allows for rapid instead of conventional raster scan.
    scanning. Adaptable to complex configurations complex parts
    including thick components.
    Automated scanning processes ensure reliability and
    Detection and sizing almost accuracy.
    orientation independent. Increased sensitivity to the detection of planar
    defects (as compared to radiography)
    TOFD has a potential through- Provides capability to size the depth (vertical
    wall dimension accuracy of 1 component) of a defect.
    mm and monitoring capability of Better detection in austenitic materials and
    0.3mm dissimilar metal (DM) welds
    Real-time data acquisition increases production
    Setup virtually independent of times and reduces component downtime
    weld configuration Does not require work stoppage as needed when
    Wide coverage area performing radiography
    No hazards in signal transmission or instrument
    No Area barrication transportation as found with radiography.
    requirement. PA-AUT permits the use of Engineering Critical
    Only Single side access required Assessment, which typically allows larger defects.
    Can performed during service Typical PAUT crews require fewer personnel than
    that of a radiography crew
    Reduced the cycle time between when a weld is
    complete and the disposition of the weld's
    acceptance
    PAUT technology is rapidly advancing every day,
    creating even more options for performance and
    accuracy.
