What is Ultrasonic Testing?
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a non-destructive testing method that uses high-frequency sound energy to conduct examinations and make measurements. This technique is ideal for detecting subsurface flaws and irregularities in materials, as well as for thickness gauging when only one side of the surface is accessible.
How Does Ultrasonic Testing Work?
Benefits of Ultrasonic Testing
Highly Sensitive Detection
Ultrasonic Testing is renowned for its sensitivity to both linear and non-linear flaws, including internal cracks, delaminations, inclusions, and voids. This makes it a valuable tool for identifying hidden defects that could compromise performance or safety.
Three-Dimensional Interpretations
Versatility
UT is suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials that conduct mechanical vibrations, including steel, aluminium, and other alloys. It can be used on flat or curved surfaces and is effective for components of varying sizes and geometries, making it a highly adaptable method across multiple applications.
Accuracy
Ultrasonic Testing provides exceptionally accurate measurements, both for flaw detection and thickness gauging. This level of precision is critical in sectors where structural integrity and material strength are non-negotiable, helping to ensure safety and extend asset lifespan.
