Inspección Ultrasónica PAUT y TOFD de TECNA ICE
Fallas no detectadas comprometen la integridad de tus estructuras
- Defects in welds generate leaks and structural failures.
- Corrosion in pipes and tanks reduces service life.
- Conventional methods do not guarantee early detection.
- Slow inspections affect operational continuity.
- Poor compliance may result in penalties.
Internal defects in welds and structures can cause serious problems in the integrity of equipment, compromising the safety and operability of industrial assets.
Traditional methods such as X-rays or basic ultrasound do not always detect anomalies accurately, which can lead to costly repairs and unforeseen failures.
Inspección Ultrasónica con
PAUT y TOFD
Precisión y Confiabilidad
The combination of PAUT and TOFD enables advanced detection of weld defects and corrosion damage, ensuring fast and accurate inspections:
- PAUT (Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing): Detailed evaluation with digital control of ultrasonic beams.
- TOFD (Time-of-Flight Diffraction): Complementary technique for accurate crack measurement.
- Corrosion mapping: Accurate detection on curved surfaces such as pipes and tanks.
- Real-time results: High inspection speed and specialized software for advanced visualization.

Resuelve tus dudas sobre la inspección ultrasónica PAUT y TOFD
The frequency of inspection by Ultrasonic Testing (UT) depends on the type of structure, its level of exposure to stresses and the applicable regulations:
- Pipelines and pipelines: Every 1 to 5 years (API 570, API 1104).
- Storage tanks: Every 5 to 10 years (API 653).
- Pressure vessels: Every 3 to 5 years (API 510).
- Critical structures: Every 1 to 3 years, depending on corrosion level and operating conditions.
Yes, except in cases such as coal tar, which can affect the transmission of ultrasonic waves.
If your equipment has a history of failures, visible corrosion or critical welds in operation, an inspection is recommended.
We use state-of-the-art technology, including:
Phased Array Mantis – Real-time inspection with up to 64 elements.
OmniScan SX – Portable equipment with high precision and specialized software.
- Inspection of welds in simple and complex geometries.
- Corrosion mapping in large areas.
- Compatible with UT, TOFD, PAUT and TFM.
- A-Scan height up to 800%, improving resolution on internal defects.
- Lighter and more portable than other equipment (33% less weight, 50% smaller).
- Compatible with motorized scanners for greater accuracy.
- Allows combined TOFD + PAUT inspections, reducing evaluation times.
