Ultrasonic Testing is a non-destructive testing method that makes use of short wavelength sound waves of both high and low frequency to detect internal flaws and defects within components and parts. Additionally, it can be used to determine a material’s thickness. For example, the thickness of the wall of a pipe.
Ultrasonic testing is used to test for internal defects and flaws in castings, welds, tubes, pipes and composite materials in a wide range of industry sectors. Ultrasonic testing is used to detect flaws such as inclusions, cracks and porosity. It is especially useful at detecting small flaws or defects that are located deep within a part.
Ultrasonic testing is also used to assess the integrity of a bond between two materials. The benefits of this NDT method is that it provides quick and accurate results and is very portable, making it especially useful for on-site testing and inspection.
Ultrasonic testing can also be used to measure material thickness. Sound waves travel at different velocities within different materials. By knowing the material velocity and the time it takes for a sound wave to travel from the transducer through the material and back again our expert inspectors can calculate the thickness of the material.
Our team of qualified NDT technicians are able to carry out Ultrasonic Testing directly at our customers’ premises with our range of state of the art ultrasonic testing equipment.
