Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a non-destructive evaluation technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws in materials, particularly metals. In this process, a device emits ultrasonic waves into the material. If there are any imperfections, like cracks or voids, the waves will bounce back differently than if the material were flawless. By analyzing these reflected waves, technicians can assess the integrity of structures like bridges, pipelines, and aircraft. UT is valued for its accuracy, safety, and ability to inspect components without causing damage, making it essential in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and aerospace.
