Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Ultrasonic Testing is a nondestructive method that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws or measure material thickness. It is commonly used because it provides highly reliable information about the internal structure of metals and other materials. Ultrasonic waves—typically between 50 kHz and 25 MHz—travel through a part and reflect from internal features, revealing cracks, voids, or variations in thickness. UT allows inspectors to evaluate materials without damaging them and is essential for ensuring product integrity, meeting test specifications, and supporting quality assurance decisions.
Our UT Services
At Twins Industrial Services, our ultrasonic testing personnel are trained to provide the fundamental knowledge and expertise required for quality assurance and test applications. Our certified technicians are equipped to ascertain that the proper test technique, or combination of techniques, is used to ensure the quality of the finished product.
Thickness Testing
Examination method that uses ultrasonic sound waves to measure material thickness from a single accessible surface. UTT is commonly used for corrosion monitoring, erosion assessment, and remaining wall thickness evaluation on piping, tanks, and structural components.
Weld Inspection
A volumetric ultrasonic testing method used to inspect welds and adjacent base material for internal discontinuities. This technique utilizes angle-beam ultrasonic methods to detect flaws such as cracks, lack of fusion, lack of penetration, inclusions, and voids that may affect structural integrity.
Phased Array
Advanced method that uses electronically controlled, multi-element probes to generate detailed imaging of welds and components. PAUT provides improved defect detection, accurate sizing, and enhanced coverage for critical weld inspections and complex geometries.
