The ASNT Conference 2025, aka THE leading annual gathering for nondestructive testing (NDT) professionals, is just around the corner! After Las Vegas, it’s returning to Orlando, Florida, from October 6 to 9 at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Orlando will be the place to be to explore the future of non-destructive testing, inspection, and digital transformation in the NDT field, and maybe check out the amusement parks in the area.
Interested in ultrasonic testing, certification updates, or emerging Industry 4.0 technologies? ASNT 2025 will offer a unique opportunity to connect with the forefront of NDT innovation. And TPAC’s team is in the starting blocks to showcase the latest advanced ultrasonic solutions, perform live demos, and organize an Advanced UT presentation track.
What is the ASNT Conference and Why Is It Important?
Organized by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT), the ASNT Annual Conference is the largest event dedicated to professionals involved in the evaluation and integrity of materials and structures across industries.
So what are we looking at exactly?
- Over 2,200 attendees expected: engineers, inspectors, researchers, and executives from the NDT world.
- More than 210 exhibitors showcasing new technologies, software platforms, and inspection equipment.
- 100+ technical sessions covering current practices, code updates, industry case studies, and next-gen inspection methods.
- Expert speakers from across sectors sharing insight on topics like digitalization, workforce retention, and advanced UT imaging.
All of these figures are based on the official ASNT 2025 event program, which outlines the scale and scope of the conference.

- Composite Inspection with manual adaptive TFM
- Automated Corrosion Mapping with scanner for tanks and pipelines, high-resolution corrosion mapping solutions
- Immersion testing using PWI for inspection of metallic parts
- Air Coupled UT showcasing automation-ready UT tools for precision and non-contact inspections
Whether you’re attending to discover the latest in UT, network with industry experts, or explore practical innovations in nondestructive testing, TPAC’s booth is a must-visit for NDT professionals.
TPAC’s team will align directly with the ASNT conference’s mission: to empower professionals with access to next-generation tools, training, and insight.
5 Live Ultrasonic Testing Demonstrations Not to Miss at ASNT 2025
1- Weld Inspection using a DLA (Dual Linear Array Probe)
This demo showcases TPAC’s Explorer system applying adaptive Total Focusing Method (TFM) to a complex surface, simulating real-world inspection of components with irregular shapes or limited access. With its high-resolution imaging and real-time focal law adjustments, the Explorer provides unmatched clarity in PAUT applications, even on challenging geometries.
Paired with Prelude software, they deliver adaptive weld inspection with exceptional defect detection, dynamic focusing, and superior data quality. Ideal for detecting flaws in pipelines, structural welds, and critical assets, this configuration adapts in real time to ensure accurate, code-compliant results.

2- Using Manual Adaptive TFM for composite inspection
Check out the Explorer Max, the device setting the highest speed standard for phased array UT technology.
Our team will showcase the main benefits of using manual adaptive Total Focusing Method (TFM):
- Compensate accounts for surface variations (e.g., weld caps, curved surfaces, irregular geometries), avoiding distortions caused by non-flat contact surfaces.
- Get Higher Imaging Accuracy: by recalculating sound paths dynamically, adaptive TFM improves defect localization and sizing.
- Improve Probability of Detection (POD): Adaptive focusing increases sensitivity, especially for small or misoriented defects (lack of fusion, cracks, porosity).
3- Automated Corrosion Mapping
In this demo, TPAC pairs its Explorer mounted on a scanner with Concerto, a powerful corrosion mapping software.
The result: fully integrated, scanner-compatible high-density C-scans for asset integrity monitoring. With precise wall thickness measurements and intuitive visualization, this software enables efficient, repeatable corrosion assessments on pipelines, tanks, and large flat surfaces

4- Immersion UT using Plane Wave Imaging (PWI)
Using a copper FBH block, this setup demonstrates how TPAC’s immersion UT solution identifies tiny flaws and provides clean imaging, critical for aerospace, and precision-machined parts.
Check out Plane Wave Imaging (PWI) advantages:
- High-Speed Acquisition – A single plane wave covers the entire region, reducing the number of transmissions, allowing selection of multiple angles.
- Full Wavefield Capture – One dataset can be post-processed to reconstruct multiple imaging modes (e.g., TFM, angle views) without rescanning.
- Uniform High Resolution – Synthetic focusing at every point gives consistent sensitivity and image quality across the whole region of interest.

5- Air-Coupled UT with UR5 Robot
Revolutionary NDT: TPAC Pilot+ Multi-Channel Ultrasonic Testing, paired with a UR5 collaborative robot, enables full non-contact ultrasonic testing, ideal for fragile, composite, or curved materials where traditional couplants are not viable. Perfect for aerospace applications, the Pilot+ delivers accurate, layer-by-layer defect detection, all without touching the surface.

Advanced UT Presentations track
In addition to the live demonstrations, TPAC is once again curating an Advanced Ultrasonic Program of presentations.
Building on last year’s success, we are collaborating with leading industry partners who will join us as guest speakers to share their expertise and insights. This dedicated program gives attendees the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the latest advancements in NDT, discover practical applications from real-world projects, and— as an added benefit—earn extra recertification points.
