UT comprises a range of non-destructive testing techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves into an object or material to detect and locate surface or internal discontinuities or to also provide the thickness of a specific object or material. Due to defects being “weaker” than the surrounding material, they will vibrate different when subjected to the same pressure wave, resulting in the defect being detected.

The majority of Ultrasonic Testing is performed on steel, other metals and alloys, in a wide variety of industries due to its suitability for many different materials.

The outcome of UT is highly accurate and precise due to the high-frequency waves that can penetrate deep into a material or component, allowing for the inspection of the entire structure to be thorough. Our ultrasonic systems are portable, providing consistent, instant results with only limited access needed and anywhere it is required.
