Phased Array (PAUT) and TOFD Management

Integrated Software for Advanced Ultrasonic Inspection Processes

ceres-ndt provides NDT firms using Phased Array UT (PAUT) and Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) techniques with a single platform for work order, reporting, equipment calibration and service charge management.

What are PAUT and TOFD?

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an electronically scanned UT technique offering greater sensitivity and coverage than conventional UT. Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) delivers high-reliability volumetric defect detection based on diffracted energy. ISO 17020-accredited PAUT and TOFD firms must accurately manage service fees, mobilization charges and personnel costs, and link A-B-C scan data to the relevant inspection record.

Key Features for PAUT & TOFD Management

01

Dedicated Report Module

PA-TOFD inspection reports are managed in an independent module. A-B-C scan images and data files are attached to the report.

02

Service + Mobilization

Separate service and mobilization items for PAUT and TOFD equipment are defined and automatically reflected in work order billing.

03

Equipment Calibration Tracking

Phased array device calibration validity, last check date and service history are recorded in the system.

04

Technician Certificate Check

The certificate scope (method, level, material group) of assigned PAUT/TOFD personnel is automatically verified.

05

Data Archiving

Scan files (.rdt, .utd, etc.) are added to the digital archive linked to the work order. Fast access during TÜRKAK audits.

06

PQR Integration

PAUT inspections within the scope of weld procedure qualification are linked to PQR records. Certificate documents are attached.
