The Importance of the 20 Conventional Transceiver Channels in the Matrix UT System

One of the most unique features of the Matrix UT - UTR V2 system is its 20 conventional transceiver channels. The transceiver is a crucial component that serves both as a transmitter and a receiver of ultrasonic waves. Each channel can be configured as a transmitter only, receiver only, or both a transmitter and receiver (transceiver).

Additional conventional UT is required to supplement zonal, full matrix capture (FMC), and plane wave imaging (PWI) inspection techniques, especially for critical applications like subsea risers (SCR) and corrosion-resistant alloys (CRA). This includes but is not limited to dual time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) transducers, creep wave transducers, transverse transducers, and/or wall thickness transducers.

With 20 channels, the Matrix UT system enables more flexibility to perform complex examination specifications.
