Product Description

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a family of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques that utilize the propagation of ultrasonic waves to inspect objects or materials.

Methods of Ultrasonic Testing:

1. Reflection (Pulse-Echo) Mode:

• In this method, the transducer performs both the transmission and reception of pulsed waves.
• The ultrasound waves reflect back from an interface, such as the object's back wall or an internal imperfection.
• The diagnostic machine displays these reflections as signals, with the amplitude indicating the reflection intensity and the distance representing the reflection's arrival time.

2. Attenuation (Through-Transmission) Mode:

• This method involves a transmitter sending ultrasound waves through one surface, while a separate receiver detects the sound that has traveled through the material.
• Imperfections or inconsistencies in the medium reduce the transmitted sound, indicating their presence.

Enhancing Efficiency with Couplant:

Using a couplant significantly improves testing efficiency by minimizing energy loss caused by gaps between the transducer and the test surface, ensuring better transmission of ultrasonic waves.

Ultrasonic Testing is a precise and reliable method widely used for detecting flaws, measuring thickness, and ensuring material integrity across various industries.
