Ultrasonic Tests

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is based on the propagation of sound waves in the component under test. Ultrasonic testing can detect surface defects underground, internally and in some cases in different materials. EUROLABoffers a variety of ultrasonic testing solutions to its customers.

Benefits of Ultrasonic Testing

• Well-established and accepted non-destructive testing method in the world
  
• Higher probability of detection than radiography consistently rejects planar discontinuities
  
• Detecting and sizing specific volumetric imperfections
  
• Efficient method for material inspection
  
• The accepted alternative to radiography source control

About Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a test method for detecting material defects using ultrasound technology. Ultrasonic testing is a volumetric test method similar to radiographic testing. Volume tested for irregularities.

EUROLABuses ultrasonic testing to detect and dimension in-service and manufacturing defects. Ultrasonic testing can be used for weld seam testing, sheet metal testing and wall thickness measurement, as well as for testing large volume forgings or housings. Since there is no need to establish a safety area, ultrasonic testing can be used when the production process needs to continue.

Detectable defects include cracks, slag, pores, planar discontinuities and porosity, inclusions, and lack of fusion. Our experts provide highly accurate fault coordinates, length and orientation height (depth). Planar defects are considered to be more detrimental to weld quality than volumetric defects. Ultrasonic testing has a higher probability of rejecting planar discontinuities than radiography of detection defects.

Ultrasonic testing can be used for multiple inspection methods:

• Welds, castings, products etc.
• Detection of planar discontinuities in pipes
• For general wall thickness measurements
• Machines, equipment, engines, turbines, aircraft, etc. For standard and specified periodic industrial inspections.
• For periodic and non-periodic industrial inspections in power plants; including boilers, containers, barrels and pipelines
• For periodic and non-periodic industrial inspections in the oil and gas industry; reactors, pipelines, storage tanks, heat exchangers etc.
• For periodic and non-periodic industrial inspections in the chemical industry; including pumps and chemical storage
• Public transport; trains, ships, buses and trams
• Structures including bridges, oil platforms and windmills
