With the wisdom of science, we have been able to simplify many aspects of life. Is the ultrasonic testing procedure something that interests you? The following article contains the steps you need to perform an ultrasonic test. The ultrasonic testing procedure satisfies requirements for Ultrasonic evaluations of metallic welding as specified in the specifications or…

Ultrasonic Testing or Ultrasonic Flaw Detection is a type of non-destructive Testing that employs high-frequency ultrasound waves to perform inspections and measurements. Ultrasonic inspection is often used to discover and evaluate flaws, measure dimensions, characterize materials, and more.  Sound waves with a frequency greater than 20 kHz and a 1.9 cm or less wavelength at…

Ultrasonic flaw detectors are sensors that use ultrasonic waves to detect flaws. These devices are used across all industries, ranging from transport, rail, aviation, infrastructure projects, manufacturing, turbines, and the oil & gas industry. These flaw detectors are popular as they apply NDT or non-destructive techniques using ultrasonic waves. Using these does not harm the materials…

Ultrasonic testing equipment is used to carry out ultrasonic testing which is a Nondestructive Testing (NDT) method used for detecting defects, discontinuities, and flaws without damaging the tested material. It is an essential part of testing the quality and functional integrity of infrastructure, construction sites, pipelines, and a variety of industrial products or assets. There…

Ultrasounds are the sound waves that vibrate above the human hearing range. These have shorter wavelengths that start from 20 kHz onwards. Most of the ultrasonic transducers use ultrasound wavelength frequencies that start from 20 kHz.   What is Frequency?  Frequency is the number of waves or signals that can appear in a fixed period. Hertz…

Ultrasonic testing is a highly effective non-destructive testing application (NDT). It uses high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves for various purposes that include flaw detection, thickness gauging among several others. These high-frequency sound waves are generated by small ultrasonic probes also known as ultrasonic transducers. These probes are the starting and an essential part of any ultrasonic testing device…

Digital ultrasonic flaw detectors are modern age portable and processor-based flaw detectors. They are made up of parts including an ultrasonic transducer, hardware & software for capturing signals and analysing them, a data logging module, and a waveform display for viewing the images and graphs. The returning ultrasonic signals are processed digitally through these instruments for…

Ultrasonic flaw detection equipment uses NDT (non-destructive testing) methods to detect surface and subsurface flaws. As the name suggests it uses high-frequency ultrasonic waves for this purpose. A transducer emits the waves into the test object. The returning waves generate clear echo patterns which are then recorded, displayed in the form of images, and interpreted. Ultrasonic…

Portable ultrasonic flaw detectors are used increasingly across all industries, whether they be manufacturing, infrastructure projects, oil, and gas industry, or transport and aviation. These devices apply non-destructive ultrasonic waves to detect flaws. The flaws if not detected beforehand can result in major damages whether financial, environmental, or loss of life and limb. Flaw detectors are…

There are several uses of ultrasonic flaw detectors in a wide range of industrial applications. Flaw detectors use non-destructive techniques (NDT) that employ ultrasonic waves for the purpose. The devices generate ultrasonic waves which pass through the test subject and reflect after striking the flaws and generate clear echo patterns. These patterns are recorded, displayed, and interpreted.…

The ultrasonic thickness gauge is a portable device for measurement by utilising ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the gauge transmit through the measured object from one end to the other, after reaching and striking the material interface, the ultrasonic waves bounce back to the gauge. By accurately measuring the time taken by ultrasonic waves to…

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) means the application of a short and high-frequency ultrasonic pulse to detect flaws in an object or material. There are several non-destructive examination (NDE) ultrasonic techniques. The testing is done by emitting the waves into the material tested. By measuring the volume of these waves returning, the internal flaws and properties of…

What Is Ultrasonic Testing? Ultrasonic testing or in short UT refers to a variety of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques that use ultrasonic waves to pass through a substance or object. Ultrasonic waves are high-frequency waves that are passed through different substances to find flaws or detecting variations in them. Ultrasonic testing applications can utilize frequencies…

Ultrasound is the sound above the human hearing range having shorter wavelengths. Though ultrasound starts at 20 KHz and above most ultrasonic transducers start from 200 KHz. The ultrasonic transducers are sensors that work by using ultrasonic sound waves. These transducers convert the electrical signals to ultrasonic waves or vibrations which are focused on the intended object.…
