AUT Equipment

UT SCan

A UT Scanning device used by RAE Energy

UT Scan is a hybrid unit that combines phased array with conventional time-of-flight diffraction (ToFD) and basic pulse-echo technologies in a single inspection, providing unparalleled detection accuracy.

Benefits:

  • With a uniquely designed pulser/receiver, eliminate the effect of noise from the firing line

  • Real-time results and feedback allow welders to repair on the spot

  • Radiation-free = no lost time or disruption to surrounding workers

  • Detect critical defects that X-ray cannot (cracks, non-fusion), greatly reducing the risk of failure

Shared Services
