Traditional ultrasonic testing works, but Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) takes weld inspection to a higher level. With multi-element probes and real-time imaging, PAUT provides a detailed, layered view of internal flaws, cracks, and corrosion.

Hilsoncreek's PAUT technicians are ASME and ISO 13588 certified, bringing aerospace-level precision to critical infrastructure and industrial welds.

Why PAUT matters:

  • Detects flaws too small for visual or X-ray methods
  • Pinpoints exact defect location and depth
  • Enables rapid scanning of complex geometries
  • Reduces false positives and costly rework

Applications:

  • Pressure vessel welds
  • Pipeline seams
  • Structural steel in offshore platforms
  • Refinery upgrades

Bottom line: With PAUT, you gain assurance that your welds will hold under pressure, heat, and time.
