Ultrasonic testing - overview

Ultrasonic non-destructive testing (UT) is commonly used for flaw detection in materials. Ultrasound uses the transmission of high-frequency sound waves in a material to detect a discontinuity or to locate changes in material properties.

Ultrasonic Inspection is a very useful and versatile NDT method. Some of the advantages of ultrasonic inspection that are often cited include:

• It is sensitive to both surface and subsurface discontinuities.
• The depth of penetration for flaw detection or measurement is superior to other NDT methods.
• Only single-sided access is needed when the pulse-echo technique is used.
• It is highly accurate in determining reflector position and estimating size and shape.
• Minimal part preparation is required.
• Electronic equipment provides instantaneous results.
• Detailed images can be produced with automated systems.
• It has other uses, such as thickness measurement, in addition to flaw detection.

The Starmans electronic company is mainly focused on development and construction of ultrasonic systems used for material testing. Our constructed systems can be used for material thickness measurement as well as flaw detection. All our systems have implemented the special algorithms which improve the sensitivity and make our systems more accurate.

We are a producer of portable instruments as well as industrial inspection systems.
