Phased Array Bolt Inspection, Encoded and Freehand - HIDDEN

Bolts are critical for safety, structural integrity and are used in every industry over multiple applications from holding storage vessels and structures to the ground to connecting high pressure pipework and holding wind turbine blades in place. Here we demonstrate bolt inspection methods using ultrasonic phased array inspection both with and without encoding scanners.

Bolt integrity is vital for the long safe life of an asset. Traditionally bolts are either replaced after a set time period regardless of their condition, or removed and visually inspected for their integrity, this is both expensive and time consuming and generally requires the asset to be shutdown.
