Phased Array Platform

Phased Array Platform

Guided waves provide the ability to inspect hidden and inaccessible regions of structures, such as structures below the ground, underwater, beneath coatings, insulation, or concrete – they also provide the ability to screen large areas of a structure from a single, remote probe position. Guided waves have enabled long-range pipe inspection technology for decades, but these capabilities need not be limited to pipes. The GWPATM technology extends long-range ultrasonic testing capabilities to plates and shells to open a wide range of applications and structures to guided wave testing – making otherwise impossible inspections possible.
