Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a technique which administers high frequency sound waves, within the range of 500 kHz to 20 MHz travelling through a material body to inspect characteristics including:
- Defect evaluations
- Material inconsistencies
- Inclusion and crack formation studies
- Dimensional measurement
- Material characterisation
The ultrasonic apparatus consists of a pulser/receiver along with a transducer and a display device. As the ultrasonic waves travel through the material medium, times taken for the pulse to reflect from inclusions, material boundaries, cracks etc. are translated into a measurement through the conversion to an electrical signal.
