Ultrasound Testing (UT)
APPLICATION SECTORS
of Non-Destructive Ultrasound Testing
Volumetric checks of all materials provided with sufficiently limited attenuation; cracks in welds, verification of the efficiency of the joints.
The applications are many, here are some components that are usually checked with ultrasound for the search for defects:
Rolled components; rollers, shafts, drives, press columns
Power equipment: forced turbine parts, generator rotors, pressure conduits, welded part assays, pressure containers, reactor components
Aircraft components
Machine materials
Vehicle parts
Military objects
Railway parts
COMPONENTS
METALLURGICAL
AERONAUTICS
AUTOMOTIVE
RAILWAY
DETECTABLE FEATURES
with Ultrasonic Control
Sound impedance variations generate by surface and/or internal defects such as: cracks, inclusions, etc
FUNCTIONALITY
of the Ultrasonic Control
Quick use – high thickness can be inspected – high sensitivity
NOTATIONS
Ultrasonic Test
Need for transducer/part acoustic coupling – high attenuation materials cannot be tested
