Ultrasonic Inspection

One of the most employed NDE methods in the petrochemical industry for condition monitoring is Ultrasonic Thickness Testing using an A-Scan display. Completion of an ND3 Ultrasonic Thickness Course in which the display contains the waveform teaches you what the signals mean and how features like corrosion and others will affect the test.

Many years ago, Ultrasonic Shear Wave testing was the pinacle of Ultrasonic testing. Those days are gone with the advent of Phased Array testing. Whereas one angle is used in conventional Shear Wave, multiple angle sound beams are propagated into the test object to see more when using phased array. ND3 are experienced professionals having used them since they were introduced to the NDE industry.
