Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
High-frequency sound wave inspection for precise defect detection without damage
How It Works
1
Ultrasonic Pulse Emission
A probe emits ultrasonic pulses into the material.
2
Sound Wave Reflection
Sound waves reflect off defects like cracks or inclusions.
3
Echo Analysis
Echo times are measured to locate and size defects.
Main Modes
Pulse-Echo
One probe sends and receives ultrasonic waves.
Through-Transmission
Separate transmitter and receiver on opposite sides detect flaws by signal loss.
