What Is Ultrasonic Inspection?
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is one of the most advanced and reliable non-destructive testing methods used across UK industries to evaluate the integrity and quality of materials. By using high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws or irregularities, this technique provides an accurate assessment of a component's internal structure - without causing any damage.
A transducer emits ultrasonic waves that travel through the material and reflect back when encountering a boundary or imperfection. The returning signals are then analysed to pinpoint issues such as cracks, voids, or inclusions. Ultrasonic inspection is essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of critical components across industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and power generation.
