Fast phased array system THE FAAST_II system from Socomate is a UT phased array technology fitting with high-speed testing applications and high in-line productivity, able to replace more than ten conventional phased array systems working in parallel. The FAAST_II linear pulsing in a plan, and throughout 2D Matrix array probes with all orientated beams in space.

Tube ends and full body inspections on line comply with the most severe API standards for OCTG: longitudinal, transversal and all oblique notches (½" long and five per cent depth) orientated every 5°

generator allows the transmission of a large quantity of ultrasonic beams at different allocated angles in one single spray, throughout 1D Linear array multi- element probe with all orientated beams

Line productivity can be maintained by using the correct number of phased array probes. One 2D Matrix plus one 1D Linear per tube end for 300mm inspection equates to 80 tubes per hour; six 2D Matrix plus three 1D Linear for full body inspection of tube 14m long accommodates 30 tubes per hour.

and OD, with 2D Matrix array probe; and lamination (square ½" at ten per cent and 90 per cent, FBH 3.2mm diameter) and WT with 1D Linear array probes. The calibration process is quick and easy, with no me- chanical positioning of phased array probes according to tube diameter and thickness range. The operator simply loads the required UT setting file.
