INTRODUCTION
Indian Society for Nondestructive Testing
(ISNT), Thiruvananthapuram chapter has great
pleasure in bringing to you a one day workshop
on Phased array Ultrasonic testing, an upcoming advanced UT technique, now in practice in
both industrial and medical field. The chapter has
immense experience in conducting NDT
Level-II certification courses, national seminars and
tutorials covering various NDE techniques, over
several years. The chapter has also won the best
chapter award in the year 2002 and 2012 in
recognition of its activities. In furthering the
quest for excellence in current technology and
in achieving our objective to impart quality
education and knowledge to persons working
in the field of NDE, the chapter is conducting a
one day workshop in Phased array Ultrasonic
testing in the field of Ultrasonic testing. The classes
will be handled by well experienced and qualified
persons working specifically in Phased array
technology in aerospace and medical field, with
hands on experience in their respective areas.
Practical demonstration with one of the latest
phased array Ultrasonic testing machine will also
be part of the workshop.
PHASED ARRAY ULTRASONIC TESTING
Many people are familiar with the medical
applications of ultrasonic imaging/ ultrasound,
in which high frequency sound waves are used
to create highly detailed cross-sectional pictures
of internal organs. This is done by specialized
multi-element transducers known as phased
arrays and their accompanying hardware and
software.
The applications of ultrasonic phased array
technology are not limited to medical diagnosis.
In recent years, phased array systems have seen
increased use in industrial settings to provide new
construction and maintenance, structural metals,
and general manufacturing. Phased arrays can
also be effectively used to profile remaining wall
thickness in corrosion survey applications.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1.Engineers, scientists, Engineering diploma
graduates and technicians in the area of NDE,
aerospace, manufacturing, materials will
benefit from this workshop.
levels of information and visualization compared
to conventional UT.
Conventional ultrasonic transducers for NDT
commonly consist of either a single active element
that both generates and receives high frequency
sound waves, or two paired elements, one each
for transmitting and receiving. Phased array
probes, on the other hand, typically consist of a
transducer assembly ranging from 16 to as many
as 256 small individual elements that can each be
pulsed separately. This concept of multi-crystal
probe, enables various features like
• Simultaneous multi angle scanning
• Beam focusing
• Dynamic depth focusing
• Electronic scanning without probe movement.
• Beam profile control
Ultrasonic phased array systems can potentially be
employed in almost any test where conventional
ultrasonic flaw detectors have traditionally been
used. Weld inspection and crack detection are the
most important applications, and these tests are
done across a wide range of industries including
aerospace, power generation, petrochemical,
metal billet and tubular goods suppliers, pipeline
