Automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) is a type of ultrasonic testing technique that utilises computerised methods to drive the ultrasonic scanning device around the part being scanned. Automated ultrasonic testing may include computer software that helps technicians while scanning a metal piece for defects. AUT lowers the ultrasonic scanning time for multiple applications.
Automated UT testing utilises some essential components like transducers, receivers, computers and display screens. Operators need to interpret and analyse the results and they need to set up the automated ultrasonic testing equipment on a new metal piece once a scan is completed. The automated ultrasonic machine is widely used in the pipeline industry.
