Ultrasonic Tester / Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a form of non-destructive testing (NDT) that uses high-frequency sound waves to measure the thickness or hardness of a material. Ultrasonic tests often are performed to assess corrosion on pipes, valves and steel or aluminum constructions. An ultrasonic tester also is used to detect flaws such as cracks and leaks. Thus, an ultrasonic tester is an integral tool used in material testing and engineering, manufacturing quality control, equipment condition monitoring, building and bridge inspection and more.

PCE Instruments offers accurate, affordable ultrasonic test equipment for the non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, plastics, composites and ceramics as well as for the non-destructive inspection (NDI) of industrial welds and building walls.

on Ultrasonic Tester

A portable ultrasonic tester or ultrasonic gauge is an incredibly versatile measuring device Ultrasonic Tester / Ultrasonic Testing that comes in handy in myriad applications, especially when detecting leaks or measuring the effects of corrosion on tanks, pipes and structures with limited one-sided access. In addition, an ultrasonic thickness gauge can be used to determine the thickness of coated or painted metals without the need for stripping.

Another kind of ultrasonic testing device is an ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) durometer or hardness tester. A UCI hardness tester is a portable electronic device that uses the UCI method of hardness testing standardized by ASTM A 1038 and DIN 50159. A UCI hardness tester makes and then measures a diamond indent in the surface of material to determine the material hardness.
