QE PAUT128D Dual Input Phased Array Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
The QE-PAUT128D is a portable ultrasonic inspection platform combining phased-array ultrasonic testing, TOFD and conventional UT.
Two 64-channel phased-array probe connections support coordinated inspection from opposing sides of a weld. Encoded scanner compatibility, 100 Hz S-scan refresh and advanced analysis software make the system suitable for pipeline girth welds, pressure vessels, tanks, structural welds, forgings, castings and complex fabricated components.

Applicable Standards
The system can be configured for procedures associated with:
- ISO 13588:2019
- ISO 10863:2020
- ISO 18563 series
- ISO 17640
- ISO 9712:2021
- ASTM E2700-26
- ASTM E2491-23
- ASTM E2373/E2373M-19(2024)
- ASME BPVC Section V, Article 4
ISO 13588:2019 covers automated phased-array examination of fusion-welded joints, while ISO 10863:2020 covers TOFD examination of welds. ASTM’s current NDT catalogue lists ASTM E2700-26 and ASTM E2491-23.
Compliance requires the appropriate probes, wedges, scanner, reference blocks, focal laws, written procedure and qualified personnel.
