Phased array ultrasonic systems utilize multi- element probes, which are individually excited under computer conrtrol. By exciting each element in a controlled manner, a focused beam of ultrasound can be generated. Software enables the beam to be steered. Two and three dimensional views can be generated showing the sizes and locations of any flaws detected.
Phased array can be used for lnspection of Welds, Thickness measurements, Corrosion inspection and Flaw detection.
The radiographic testing (RTI) technique involves the use of penetrating gamma or X- radiation to examine parts, welds and products for imperfections. An X-ray machine or radioactive isotope are used as a source of radiaton, where the radiation is directed through a part and onto film.
Magnetic particle testing (MPT) processes are non-destructive methods for the detection of surface, nar-surface and sub-surface defects and flaws in ferrous and ferromagnetic materials.
The usage of an Ultrasonic Thickness Measurment (UTM) for non-destructive testing to check material properties such as thickness measurement, is now regularly utilized in all areas of industrial measurements.
Dye benetrant testing (also known as liquid penetrant inspection) is a non-destructive testing method for detecting surface-breaking flaws such as cracks, corrosion, porosity, laps and bursts in a variety of non-porous materials including metals, ceramics and plastics.
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is the collective term for a variety of non-destructive testing techniques that use ultrasonic sound waves in materials to detect flaws or make accurate thickness measurements. Ultrasonic Testing - Pulse-echo (Angle Beam Share wave & Normal beam longitudinal wave)
Typical inspections include Weld inspection both Structural and Piping, components, castings, forgings and welded fabrications.
