QINDT – Quantum Integrity Non-Destructive Testing

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

OVERVIEW OF UT:

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a non-destructive testing technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws in materials and measure material thickness. It is known for its accuracy in locating and characterizing defects.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

A transducer generates high-frequency sound waves that are transmitted into the material.

The sound waves travel through the material and are reflected back when they encounter a boundary or defect.

The reflected waves are captured by the transducer, and the time it takes for the waves to return is measured. This information is used to determine the location, size, and nature of the defect.

UT is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, and oil and gas for inspecting welds, forgings, castings, and structural components.

Advantages
Disadvantages
  • Can detect both surface and subsurface defects.
  • Provides precise measurements of flaw size and location.
  • Can be used on a wide range of materials, including metals, composites, and plastics.
  • Requires a skilled operator.
  • Surface preparation is critical for accurate results.
  • Access to both sides of the material is often required.
