Test method

Ultrasonic testing is a method to irradiate ultrasonic wave to the object to confirm presence of internal flaws, etc.
Also, it can be utilized in various scenes including measurement of wall thickness or measurement of thickness/length, etc.

Materials covered in the testing

  • Metallic and non-metallic material

Products used

  • Ultrasonic flaw detection equipment
  • Contact medium

Features of testing

feature

Most suitable for in-line inspections as the inspection results are obtained immediately

feature

Most suitable for inspections for simple shapes

feature

It can also be applied to measurement of wall thickness or measurement of thickness/length

feature

It is possible to conduct inspections safely (compared to RT)

Flow of flaw detection

Ultrasonic testing is generally conducted by the following procedure.

By emitting ultrasonic waves from a probe, it is possible to check for defects inside the test specimen*.

*In order to efficiently transmit the ultrasonic waves emitted from the probe, it is common to apply a contact medium such as water or oil between the test specimen and the probe.

In case of defects

If there are no internal defects, no signal will be displayed between the transmission pulse and the bottom echo.

In case of no defects

If there is an internal defect, a signal will appear between the transmission pulse and the bottom echo. From this signal, it is possible to estimate the location and size of the defect.
