In this webinar, we explore the integration of Total Focusing Method (TFM) and its progressive counterpart, TFMi, with conventional Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) techniques. This session is designed to showcase how TFM enhances traditional PAUT sectorial scans, providing a more detailed and accurate analysis of weld flaws. Participants will gain insights into the advanced capabilities of TFM in flaw characterization and sizing, understanding its role in improving the precision and reliability of weld inspections. Discover how these innovative ultrasonic technologies can transform your approach to detecting and characterizing welding defects.

After attending this presentation, attendees will be able to: 

  • Recall the basic principles and operational techniques of TFM and TFMi.
  • Compare the effectiveness of TFM, TFMi, and traditional sectorial PA in various flaw characterization scenarios.
  • Apply knowledge from case studies to appreciate how advanced ultrasonic technologies can be used to enhance flaw detection and characterization in weld inspections.
