What is Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing?
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) uses a multi-element transducer probe that fires at multiple angles simultaneously, producing real-time cross-sectional images of welds and components. It combines the sensitivity of conventional UT with the visualization of radiography — without radiation hazards.
Petrocon Engineering & Inspection Pvt. Ltd. deploys certified PAUT teams with state-of-the-art equipment to serve clients across Kuwait's oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and industrial fabrication sectors. Our engineers hold ASNT Level II/III certifications and operate under internationally recognized quality management systems.
