Conventional ultrasonic
non-destructive testing
C.M.C. Sud, a leader in the field of non-destructive testing for over 45 years, both nationally and internationally, performs conventional ultrasonic non-destructive testing.
Conventional ultrasonic non-destructive testing among NDT
Conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) is a fundamental volumetric inspection method widely used in non-destructive testing (NDT) that relies on the use of ultrasonic waves to detect internal defects in materials. Conventional UT involves the use of an ultrasonic transducer that emits high-frequency pulses through the material under examination.
The pulses propagate through the material and, when they encounter a boundary or an internal defect, part of the ultrasonic energy is reflected back to the transducer. By measuring the time it takes for the reflected wave to return and analyzing the amplitude of the reflected signal, it is possible to determine the depth and nature of the defect.
The advantages of ultrasonic techniques in NDT
Ultrasonic techniques offer numerous advantages
in non-destructive testing.
- Volumetric method
Ultrasound can detect defects within the volume of the material, providing a complete assessment of its integrity. - Penetration Depth
Ultrasonic waves can penetrate deep into materials and are therefore suitable for the inspection of thick components. - High resolution
The technologies enable detailed visualization of defects, facilitating accurate diagnosis. - Repeatability
Ultrasonic tests can be easily repeated for monitoring over time.
