Ultrasonic Testing & Inspection

Ultrasonics or ultrasound testing (UT) is a versatile inspection technique. It is used to test a variety of both metallic and nonmetallic products such as welds, forgings, castings, sheet, tubing, plastics and ceramics. Ultrasonic testing offers the advantage of detecting subsurface discontinuities with access to only one side of the material. This NDT method is often used instead of radiography as it is a very cost effective alternative. The objective of UT ultrasonic testing is to ensure product reliability by means of:

  1. Obtaining information related to discontinuities.
  2. Disclosing the nature of the discontinuity without impairing the usefulness of the part.
  3. Separating acceptable and unacceptable materials in accordance with predetermined standards.

In order to provide nondestructive ultrasound testing, you must be qualified and certified in accordance with a standard, procedure, or practice. You will often hear people say you need to meet ASTM, which guides you to SNT-TC-1A, a recommended practice, or NAS-410, a standard. The important part is to know what you need to meet. This allows you to know which procedures you can follow or which parts you are authorized to inspect. If you are looking for training on ultrasonic testing and other types of nondestructive testing, contact us— we offer NDT training!
