Phased Array Ultrasonic Transducer
A phased array probe uses multiple piezoelectric crystals to enable electronic beam shaping and steering. This allows precise scanning of the test area without mechanical movement of the sensor.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
A phased array probe consists of several piezoelectric crystals that can be activated independently. These crystals send and receive ultrasonic waves, enabling electronic beam shaping and steering.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
Precise scanning of inspection areas without mechanical movement of the sensor increases the accuracy of ultrasonic testing. This reduces the risk of missed inspections and improves the reliability of test results.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use the phased array probe to perform precise scans of weld areas. Ensure that all piezoelectric crystals are correctly calibrated and activated. Electronic beam shaping and steering enable comprehensive inspection of the entire test area without mechanical movement of the sensor.
