Overly complex weld setups

Sometimes the "quick scan" is anything but quick.

Calibration can be painful

Ultrasonic inspection demands a surprising amount of calibration work.

When Multi‑Method UT Scanning Slows You Down

Multi‑method ultrasonic inspections sound efficient in theory, but in practice they can bring scanning speeds to a crawl.

Slow scanning speeds killing your productivity?

Slow scanning speeds can drain productivity faster than almost any other bottleneck in NDT.

Data file size and complexity make multi-method scans unfavourable

Inspecting welds with multiple advanced ultrasonic methods is already one of the most demanding tasks a technician can take on.

Using PWI instead of FMC to save on speed and file size?

A lot of technicians are being pushed to use plane‑wave imaging (PWI) TFM instead of full matrix capture (FMC) TFM in situations where FMC is the best choice because the system they use cannot cope with the data load and still perform scans at a usable speed.
