Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Ultrasonic testing introduces high-frequency sound waves into a component and analyzes reflected or transmitted signals.

Common techniques include conventional pulse-echo UT, phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT), and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD).

Typical applications include forged shafts, structural welds, steel plates, pressure equipment, and heavy machinery components.

UT can detect and characterize certain internal discontinuities and may also be used for thickness measurement.

Inspection performance depends on material structure, surface condition, geometry, defect orientation, and equipment configuration.

Buyers should specify material grade, dimensions, inspection zones, applicable standard, acceptance criteria, and reporting requirements.

Relevant standards may include ISO 17640 for weld testing and other material- or application-specific specifications.

Reports may include examination coverage, calibration information, indications, and acceptance results.
