Can PAUT replace radiographic testing of welds?

Learn from practical experience with PAUT and radiographic testing of welds in the energy and district heating sectors

Many companies are currently exploring alternatives to radiographic testing (RT) of welds. Stricter radiation protection requirements, the need for higher productivity, and the demand for improved documentation and traceability are leading more companies to take a closer look at PAUT (Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing).

In this webinar, you will gain insight into when PAUT can be used as an alternative to radiographic testing and what practical, safety-related and financial implications the choice of inspection method may have for your project.

Drawing on experience from the energy and district heating sectors, we will explain the method, relevant applications and lessons learned from real projects where PAUT has replaced RT.

In this webinar, you will learn:

When can PAUT be used as an alternative to radiographic testing?
How are developments in legislation and radiation protection influencing the choice of inspection methods?
How can PAUT reduce the need for restricted areas and work involving ionising radiation?
What opportunities do digital inspection data provide for traceability and documentation?
What experiences have companies gained from replacing RT with PAUT?
