Description:

Ultrasonic testing (UT) comprises a range of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques that send ultrasonic waves through an object or material. These high frequency sound waves are transmitted through the materials to characterize the material or for flaw detecting.

Feature:

Access to only one side of the component is needed. There is no radiation hazard in ultrasonic examination, and hence no disruption of work unlike radiography. Volumetric and crack-like defects can be detected, irrespective of their orientation.
