Abstract
Systems for assessment of weld adjacent heat affected zones are described. An example system may include an inspection robot having a first payload comprising a first plurality of ultrasonic (UT) phased arrays, and a second payload comprising a second plurality of ultrasonic (UT) phased arrays. The inspection robot is configured to move in a direction of travel corresponding to a weld of an inspection surface, and the first payload is structured to measure characteristics of a first region of the inspection surface on a first side of the weld while the second payload is structured to measure characteristics of a second region of the inspection surface on a second side of the weld.
