Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – Advanced Non-Destructive Inspection
Precision Testing for Reliable Asset Integrity
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a highly effective
non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect internal flaws, measure material thickness, and assess structural integrity without causing damage to components. By utilizing high-frequency sound waves, UT provides accurate and detailed assessments of critical assets, helping to prevent failures and ensure compliance with industry standards.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Testing
- High Accuracy: Capable of detecting internal defects with precision.
- Non-Destructive: No need for cutting, dismantling, or damaging components.
- Real-Time Results: Immediate data analysis for fast decision-making.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for various materials, including metals, composites, and plastics.
- Cost-Effective: Helps prevent unexpected failures and costly repairs.
Applications of UT
Ultrasonic testing is widely used across industries to inspect:
- Mining & Heavy Equipment: Welds, chassis, booms, pins, ball studs and critical structural components.
- Pressure Vessels & Pipelines: Thickness measurements, corrosion mapping, and defect detection.
- Structural Engineering: Bridges, buildings, and load-bearing structures.
- Manufacturing & Fabrication: Weld inspections and material validation.
Advanced Ultrasonic Testing Methods
We offer specialised UT techniques to enhance inspection capabilities, including:
- Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT): Advanced imaging for precise flaw detection and weld analysis.
- Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD): High-resolution flaw sizing for critical weld inspections.
- Corrosion Mapping: Detailed scanning to monitor material degradation over time.
