Technical Scope & Inspection Capabilities
Next-generation ultrasonic imaging utilizing multi-element probes with electronic beam steering, sectorial S-scans, and electronic E-scans. Provides 100% volumetric weld volume coverage with full permanent digital record, eliminating the radiation hazards, barricading delays, and film processing costs of radiography.
Industrial Applications in Chennai
Heavy-wall pressure vessel seam welds, pipeline girth welds, stainless steel & duplex alloy welds, austenitic cladding, and complex geometry nozzle welds.
Frequently Asked Questions (Chennai Region)
How does PAUT compare with Radiography Testing (RT) for ASME welds?
ASME Code Case 2235 permits PAUT as a complete code-compliant replacement for RT. PAUT offers superior height sizing of planar cracks, requires zero exclusion zones or radiation clearances, and provides real-time digital encoded records. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).
Can PAUT inspect small bore piping and boiler tubes?
Yes. Using low-profile curved scanners (COBRA / Chain Scanners) and miniature phased array probes, we inspect pipe diameters from 0.84 inches (21mm OD) upwards. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).
What software is used for PAUT data analysis and reporting?
We use OmniPC and TomoView software to generate high-resolution A-scan, B-scan, C-scan, and S-scan cross-sectional tomographic views with exact flaw height and length sizing. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).
Is PAUT acceptable for third-party inspection (TPI) like Lloyd's, DNV, and TUV?
Yes, our PAUT procedures and Level II/III personnel are regularly audited and accepted by leading third-party inspection agencies, ASME AI, and national statutory bodies. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).
