ALFA CORE & RASIS  Engineering Excellence for Industrial Impact

PHASD ARRAY TESTING

Who is ALFA CORE Saudi Arabia?

  • ALFA CORE Saudi Arabia, the parent company of RASIS Egypt, provides high-standard Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services across the oil & gas, petrochemical, and refining industries in Egypt and the MENA region.


What standards do your inspection teams follow?

  • Our certified teams operate under ASNT and API standards, with proven expertise in both onshore and offshore inspections, including rope access solutions for high-elevation operations.

What is Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)?

  • Phased Array Ultrasonics (PAUT) is an advanced ultrasonic inspection method that enables beam steering, dynamic focusing, and enhanced coverage. It creates real-time images that reveal internal defects in welds or components—similar to medical ultrasound technology.

Why use Phased Array instead of conventional UT?

  • Phased Array offers:

  • Superior imaging and defect detection

  • Increased accuracy and reproducibility

  • Coverage of complex geometries

  • Fast, recordable results

  • Reduced human error

What are the typical applications of PAUT?

  • New construction inspections (ASME, API, AWS codes)

  • Weld inspections: girth, long seam, nozzle, and attachments

  • In-service inspections, including high-temperature environments (up to 700°F)

  • Pressure vessels, pipelines, and reactors

  • Structural components: flanges, shafts, bolts, turbine blades, etc.

What is PAUT Corrosion Mapping?

  • t’s a specialized application of Phased Array used for detecting and mapping corrosion in tanks, pipes, and components.

  • Advantages:

  • High-resolution internal corrosion maps

  • Encoder-based real-time scanning

  • Computer-aided result interpretation

  • Fast analysis and reporting

What are the key advantages of PAUT angle beam and straight beam inspections?

  • Angle Beam: Uniform sensitivity across the sweep range; ideal for flaw detection and code-based accept/reject decisions.

  • Straight Beam (Corrosion Mapping): Rapid detection of internal metal loss and laminations, with data aligned to ILI reports and client specs.
