ULTRASONIC INSPECTION (UT)
Ultrasonic Inspection (UT)
Ultrasonic inspection for internal flaw detection using high-frequency sound waves. Superior accuracy for determining internal flaw depth with excellent penetration power.
Ultrasonic Inspection (UT) employs high-frequency sound waves transmitted into materials using an ultrasonic transducer to identify internal flaws. Reflected ultrasound becomes visible on equipment displays, revealing depth, size, nature, and orientation of detected indications.
Internal Flaw Detection
We detect internal discontinuities including cracks, lack of fusion, porosity, and inclusions within welds and parent material. UT provides superior accuracy for determining flaw depth and size compared to other NDT methods.
Welds, Forgings & Castings
We perform ultrasonic inspection on welds, forgings, and castings to verify internal integrity. Our inspections support fabrication quality control, in-service monitoring, and acceptance testing to applicable codes and standards.
Superior Depth Accuracy
UT provides precise measurement of flaw depth and through-wall extent, enabling accurate flaw characterisation and sentencing against acceptance criteria. High penetrating power allows detection of flaws deep within thick sections.
Single-Surface Access
The method requires access to only one surface of the component, making it practical for in-situ inspection of installed structures, pipework, and vessels where access is restricted.
