PA and TOFD Probe PDF
One phased array probe consists of many small elements, each one can be pulsed on separately. The structure of the phased array probe
is like putting many single element probes into one probe.
Conventional UT adopts the raster scanning achieved by the connection of probe and encoder, which is an order of magnitude slower than
the phased array technology with electronic scanning.
Conventional probes adopts raster scanning, which is an order of magnitude slower than the phased array technology with electronic

Crawler for TOFD
Different crawlers compatible with TOFD probes can be provided by SIUI.
Probe selection shall be based on the application requirements. The following tables provide
initial recommended probe parameters for specified thickness ranges in ferritic steels.
For austenitic or other attenuative materials, nominal frequencies normally need to be reduced
and element sizes increased.
Nominal Wall
Nominal Frequency Element Size
Thickness Recommended Angles
mm(in.) MHz mm(in.)
<12 (0.375) 10 to 15 2 to 6 (0.08 to 0.25) 60 to 70°
12 to < 35 (0.375 to 1.4) 5 to 10 2 to 6 (0.08 to 0.25) 50 to 70°
35 to < 75 (1.4 to 3) 2 to 5 6 to 12 (0.25 to 0.5) 45 to 65°
For thickness ranges in steel 75 to 300 mm, the beam divergence from a single element is not likely to provide sufficient intensity for good
detection over the entire thickness. For thickness 75 mm (3 in.) and greater (in steel) the examination piece shall be divided into multiple zones.
For thickness 75 mm (3 in.) and greater (in steel) and when required in smaller thickness, sensitivity targets shall be placed in a reference block
at least at 25% and 75% through thickness in each zone to verify that there is adequate beam coverage for the multiple zone technique used.
On thick sections requiring more than one TOFD pair the lateral wave or back-wall signal may not always be visible. Therefore, provision in the
linearizing algorithms must be made to permit inputs of other parameters instead of the lateral and back-wall signal positions. For wall thickness
less than 75 mm (3 in.), technique qualifications may require they too be divided into smaller ranges with each range addressed by a dedicated
TOFD pair.
