Flexible Magnetic Stripe for Accurate PAUT Probe Scanning

Precision Alignment | Flat & Pipe Welds | Manual Scan Support

🔹 Product Overview:

PAScanStik™ is a compact and flexible magnetic stripe tool designed specifically to aid in Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) probe placement during manual weld scanning. Built for flat surfaces and curved pipes, this tool offers exceptional magnetic holding strength while maintaining flexibility — allowing technicians to maintain consistent probe alignment and reduce scanning errors during field operations.

Whether you are working on longitudinal welds on flat plates or circumferential welds on pipes, PAScanStik™ ensures that your PAUT probe stays in place and follows a defined path, even under challenging inspection conditions.

Why PAScanStik™?

Manual PAUT scanning often struggles with inconsistent hand movement, drift, or probe tilting — especially over long welds or curved surfaces. PAScanStik™ eliminates these challenges by acting as a stable track that guides the PAUT probe along a straight and repeatable path — resulting in improved image clarity, accurate weld defect detection, and increased technician efficiency.
