What Is Ultrasonic Testing Equipment?
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a branch of NDT technology that involves the emission of high-frequency acoustic energy or ultrasound into an asset for corrosion mapping, obtaining data/measurement, or identifying cracks or defects. There are three basic components included in UT. Pulse generator/receiver: a device that emits ultrasound waves/pulses Transducer: driven by the pulse, the transducer produces high-frequency energy which is sent to the asset in the form of a wave. When a discontinuity or defect is detected in the wave path, the energy is reflected and converted by the transducer into an electrical signal. Data display/visualization: After the transducer has converted the electrical signal, the data is displayed on a screen for analysis by the control inspector. HS 811 TOFD Flaw Detector UT offers many advantages over other types of NDT, including but not limited to a safe speed, ease of use, and accuracy for the inspector. AUT encompa...
