Ultrasonic Inspection
What is Ultrasonic Inspection?
Ultrasonic Inspection is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to detect internal defects and measure material thickness by transmitting high-frequency sound waves into a material and analyzing the reflected waves. It involves the use of an ultrasonic transducer that emits sound waves, which travel through the material until they encounter a boundary or a defect. The reflected waves are then analyzed to determine the size, shape, and location of defects, as well as the material thickness. Ultrasonic Inspection is widely used in industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, and manufacturing for its ability to detect both surface and subsurface defects with high accuracy.
How does Ultrasonic Inspection work?
Ultrasonic Inspection works by emitting high-frequency sound waves from an ultrasonic transducer into the material being inspected. The sound waves travel through the material until they encounter a boundary or a defect, at which point some of the waves are reflected back to the transducer. The time taken for the reflected waves to return to the transducer is measured, and the data is used to calculate the distance to the defect or boundary. By analyzing the amplitude, frequency, and time of the reflected waves, the inspector can determine the size, shape, and location of defects, as well as the material thickness. Ultrasonic Inspection is a versatile and highly sensitive NDT method that can be used on a wide range of materials and geometries.
