PAUT ADR Software
What Is It
A Phased Array Scan Can Generate Thousands of Data Points - ADR Software Tells You Which Ones Actually Matter
IRC Engineering combines Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) with Automatic Defect Recognition (ADR) software to flag likely indications quickly, while retaining expert review.
PAUT delivers strong sensitivity, resolution, and coverage on complex weld geometries. But manually screening every scan frame is slow and repetitive. ADR software processes the dataset and highlights regions most likely to contain a real defect.
Designed for PAUT weld inspection on:
- Piping
- Pressure vessels
- Structural components
- High weld-count projects
- Tight outage windows
Why PAUT ADR
Why Add ADR to Your Inspection Workflow?
ADR software helps your team screen large PAUT datasets faster and focus expert time where it matters most.
Faster Turnaround
Screens large scan volumes automatically instead of frame by frame.
Consistent Screening
Applies the same detection criteria every time, reducing operator-to-operator variability.
Better Analyst Focus
Helps analysts focus on confirming and sizing likely indications.
Expert Review Retained
Final classification, sizing, and disposition remain with a certified Level II/III analyst.
How It Works
How PAUT ADR Works
PAUT data is screened automatically, then reviewed by a certified analyst.
Capture the PAUT Scan
Electronically steered transducer arrays capture the inspection data.
Process the Dataset
ADR software processes the scan data.
Apply Detection Criteria
Defined detection criteria are applied across the dataset.
Flag Likely Indications
Probable defect indications are highlighted for review.
Certified Analyst Decision
A Level II/III analyst confirms, classifies, sizes, and determines the final disposition.
