Phased Array Weld Inspection

This video demonstrates a basic Phased Array weld inspection. The test specimen used is a mild steel plate 0.600” thick 30 degree V-groove with lack of side wall fusion. In the video I stated the through wall size of the defect is 1.5”, the through wall is only 0.150”.
Equipment: Olympus OMNISCAN SX UT tester, Olympus 5L32-A11 Transducer 5MHZ 32Element and Olympus SA11-N55S wedge.
I work at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC. Please visit our website to explore your NDE training needs.

Thanks John. I wish you had a bunch more for me just now. I am doing my PCN right now with an SX and this video is gold.

All your previous manual UT videos were significant and very useful, Sir. Hope your Phased array videos will be the same too with many thanks.

I have trouble getting the proper amplitude coloration in my S scan view. I think it's just because I haven't done PA very much yet and dont have the feel for it.. I was wondering if you had any tips to help with that?
