PAUT vs. Radiography: The Inspection Upgrade Refineries Can’t Ignore

Optimize your refinery maintenance by transitioning to PAUT for real-time, radiation-free weld inspections that increase efficiency and reduce overall costs.

Video 1 min read June 26, 2025

This video discusses the operational benefits of replacing traditional radiography with Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) for refinery weld inspections. By moving to PAUT, facilities can achieve real-time imaging while eliminating the radiation safety zones required for film-based methods. This transition is presented as a means to improve inspection efficiency and reduce overall maintenance costs through faster, more accurate data capture.

What this video covers

  • Elimination of radiation zones to allow for inspection without facility shutdowns.
  • Real-time imaging capabilities that improve upon traditional film results.
  • Methods for cutting inspection costs by reducing repeat scans.
  • Practical applications for PAUT in refineries and power generation.
