Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Services

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a process that inspects the solid materials and parts used in many critical aerospace, defense, nuclear, commercial, and other industry applications. The procedure transmits high-frequency sound waves into the test material or part, which are reflected to the test equipment to provide information on any of the following:

Surface and subsurface material defects
Wall thickness discontinuities in tubular products
Material measurement

Since ultrasonic testing is a noninvasive testing method, it is often the service of choice for the following conditions:

Material is relatively smooth and has simple geometry such as tubing, plate, rectangular block, or hollow cylinder.
Examination for subsurface flaws, corrosion, or discontinuities is needed.
Thickness measurement is required.
The dimensions of the test piece allow for inspection with UT equipment.

Ultrasonic Test Calibration by angle beam probe with standard block.
