Traditional ultrasonic transducers for nondestructive testing generally include a single active element or two paired elements. On the other hand, phased array probes include a transducer assembly ...

In the power generation industry, ultrasonic thickness gages (Figure 2) are often used to measure the remaining wall thickness of corroded process piping, tubing, and pressure vessels. The ...

UT is an indispensable NDT technique for ensuring that all systems and machinery, including hidden and inaccessible internal areas are operating safely and efficiently.

How ultrasonic testing can find flaws in composite materials As composite applications expand, so does the demand for more capable inspection systems. Ultrasound has proven to be effective when it ...

It also provides a larger range of inspection than traditional ultrasonic testing because it uses the structure of the pipe itself as a waveguide, explains Zayat.
