Home | OUR INSPECTION METHODS – ULTRASONIC
Ultrasonics are widely used in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for the precise detection of internal and external defects, as well as for performing dimensional measurements in solid materials.
The principle is simple: an Ultrasonic wave is emitted by a sensor and propagates through the material being inspected. When the wave encounters a different medium (such as air), it reflects back to its point of origin. The analysis of the reflected wave provides information about the nature and characteristics of the detected defect.
To ensure effective propagation of Ultrasonic waves, a coupling medium (such as gel or water) is often applied between the probe and the material being inspected.
Examples of inspections with our Ultrasonic systems:
Detect defects with very high sensitivity: internal, transverse, longitudinal, oblique, holes and cracks
Weld inspection of tube
Perform dimensional measurements (thickness, ovality, eccentricity, internal and external diameter)
Precise inspection of very thick parts
Perform thickness measurement
All our Ultrasonic systems meet the requirements of current European and international standards (ASTM, API, DIN, SEP, BS, ISO, ASME, ASNT…), calibration standards and comply with EN 12668-1 and EN 22232-1.
