UT testing has its applications in castings, forgings, plates, and welds. Essentially, material conducting ultrasonic sound can be subjected to this testing. Making it an incredibly versatile tool with minimal material limitations. Using angle beam probe technique, can detect surface, subsurface flaws. Advantage over other NDT methods is flaw depth, size can be measured. The method can detect, cracks, shrinkage, blow holes, lack of fusion, and slag inclusions.

Ultrasonic testing has evolved significantly, moving beyond basic techniques involving single or T-R probes. Advanced methods like Phase Array, TOFD, which employ multiple crystals.

Trinity NDT has complete facility for TOFD, Phased Array advanced Ultrasonic testing for testing of weld joints.

 

Ultrasonic Inspection of Castings

Ultrasonic inspection is an NDT method for detecting internal flaws in castings. Applied to wide range of casting materials such as steel, aluminium, magnesium alloy castings. This method proves effective for testing in as cast or heat treated condition. Helps in monitoring process control. 

UT can be employed for in-service inspections, allowing the detection of fatigue cracks, measurement of wall thickness, and estimation of corrosion damages.

When it comes to measuring wall thickness, Digital Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging (UTG) offers exceptional precision for chimneys, boiler pipes, tubes, tanks, and pressure vessels. Over the last two decades, UTG has become the preferred method, replacing traditional thickness gauging techniques for chimneys and boiler pipes. Its accuracy is unrivaled, with the ability to achieve measurements as precise as 0.001mm.

It’s important to note that the ultrasonic method may not detect cracks and flaws that run parallel to the beam, particularly those originating from the surface. For such surface-related cracks, alternative methods like Dye Penetrant Testing(PT)Magnetic Particle Testing(MT), or Eddy Current Testing(ET) are recommended.

Best practice often involves the use of both surface and internal NDT methods. Combining techniques like PT, MT, or ET for surface inspection with UT or RT for internal inspections enhances the overall detectability of flaws. This comprehensive approach ensures a higher level of quality control.

Experienced Inspectors for Weld Ultrasonic Inspection

Welding is a process of joining metals permanently using heat and/or pressure. As per AWS, there are 5 types of weld joints. Butt, fillet, lap, corner and edge joints. Of these, butt weld joints are suitable for Ultrasonic testing.Whereas others are less effective to perform the testing.

Shear wave, angle beam ultrasonic scanning can detect lack of fusion, lack of penetration, slag and deep lying flaws. All welds and surfaces up to probe travel distance (called skip distance)are cleaned. This enables the probe to travel on the base metal surface smoothly. UT Inspectors will calculate skip distance and beam path distance using  UT formulae. He/she will perform, record, interpret and evaluate the welds for acceptance.

A team of NDT Level 2 technicians have all the skills needed for weld inspections. Experience in performing test under third party inspection. An NDT Level 3 from ASNT, for approving the results. Therefore, customers and third party agencies prefer us for our expertise in Weld Ultrasonic inspection as per ASME, AWS, EN and ISO codes and standards. Check the UT procedure and free download.

Ultrasonic Inspection of aerospace materials is vital for ensuring safety of structures. Aluminium, Magnesium and Titanium components are tested using Ultrasonics to detects internal flaws. Level II technicians at Trinity NDT labs are trained to perform inspection of aerospace composite materials and metallic structures. Dry scan ultrasonic inspection is a preferred way of testing composites.

Special equipment is used for UT testing of composites. Ultrasonic waves can penetrate and can even find presence of foreign materials. The common defects found are De-laminations, voids, inclusions and cracks. Through transmission technique is a proven choice for scanning of aerospace composites. Range of calibration samples made of composites with artificial flaws are available at the center to set the UT equipment.

If you need UT of metals and composites contact us. In addition, we have FPI testing, Eddy Current testing MPI testing and Radiography X-ray labs. Check our NDT testing Services.

Onsite Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging of Chimney, Pipes

Ultrasonic thickness testing stands out as a highly effective NDT method for precisely measuring the wall thickness of various components, including pipes, tubes, boiler components, and chimneys. UT machines excel at providing accurate measurements, with digital thickness gauging machines capable of achieving accuracy levels as fine as 0.1mm or even less. Probes designed for highly absorptive materials utilize lower frequencies and larger diameters to ensure optimal performance.

Notably, UT probes are not limited to room temperature applications; specialized probes are available for high-temperature scenarios, such as boiler and heat exchanger tube inspections during in-service maintenance. These probes are complemented by special high-temperature couplants, such as Silicone grease, which are suitable for elevated temperature environments.

For those seeking to expand their expertise, we offer the opportunity to learn and become certified in Ultrasonic thickness gauging, ensuring you can confidently and accurately perform these critical inspections

Applications

In terms of safety and cost-effectiveness, UT testing is gradually supplanting Radiography or X-ray for weld inspections. Providing a more efficient and reliable alternative to RT.

It’s important to note that while humans can hear sounds in the range of 20Hz to 20KHz, UT testing employs high-frequency sound waves exceeding 20,000 Hz. Mechanical applications typically operate within the frequency range of 0.5MHz to 10MHz, while aerospace and other critical applications may require frequencies ranging from 10MHz to 25MHz. The choice of frequency depends on the desired sensitivity and the need to detect smaller flaws, with higher frequencies enabling finer flaw detection.

Though there many applications that use Ultrasonic principles, flaw detection, thickness gauging are prominent. Also ultrasonic principles have applications in cleaning, welding and material testing using high frequency probes. Other applications of includes,

 

  • Castings to detect shrinkage and internal defects
  • Forgings and Plates
  • Weld joints
  • Oil and Gas Pipelines
  • Tanks and Pressure vessels
  • In-service inspection plants and structures.
  • Wall thickness measurement using Digital Ultrasonic Gauge

There may be flaws in the raw materials, may result from fabrication and heat treatment, or may occur in service from fatigue, corrosion or other causes.
