Precise Crack Detection for Safer, Longer-Lasting Turbine Blades
What Is It
PAUT of Turbine Blade Root
Detect Fatigue Cracks Before They Become Failures.
Turbine blade roots operate under extreme stress, making them highly vulnerable to fatigue cracks and other defects. Our Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) service provides detailed inspection of blade roots to detect cracks, corrosion, and fatigue before they lead to costly failures.
Our advanced PAUT technology delivers accurate, high-resolution imaging for reliable turbine blade condition assessment, suitable for steam and gas turbine blades, including difficult-to-access root geometries.
Our PAUT inspection supports:
- Turbine blade root crack detection
- Fatigue and corrosion assessment
- High-stress area inspection
- Defect sizing and location
- Blade life assessment
