Advanced Testing
PAUT
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is an advanced nondestructive examination technique that utilizes a set of ultrasonic testing probes made up of numerous small elements, each of which is pulsed individually with computer-calculated timing. This technique can be used to inspect more complex geometries that are difficult and much slower to inspect with single probes. PAUT can be used to inspect almost any material where traditional UT methods have been utilized, and is often used for weld inspections and crack detection.
PAUT can easily be used for repeat scans because it has a high degree of repeatability. By emitting beams of multiple different angles sequentially, PAUT is able to create detailed and accurate cross-sections of a part. It is also particularly useful in situations where there is less room for mechanical scanning because it’s able to sweep the beam without moving the probe.
TOFD
Time Of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is one of the Ultrasonic Testing methods most widely used in tank floor testing and for vertical discontinuities such as crack sizing. TOFD can be used on its own or in conjunction with PAUT Phased Array Ultrasonic testing to provide 100% coverage, highest probability of detection, accuracy of measurement and precise sizing of a discontinutiy.
TOFD is Fast, Accurate, Traceable, and Archivable a digital paper trail. The use of TOFD enables crack dimensions to be measured more accurately, so that expensive components and equipment can be kept in operational service as long as possible with minimal risk of failure.
Internal Oxide Measurement
ULTRATECH ENGINEERS measures the thickness of oxide/scale buildups inside boiler tubes. The gauge simultaneously displays the metal thickness of the boiler tube and the thickness of the oxide layer, which helps to predict tube lif
Thru-Coat Technology
ULTRATECH ENGINEERS measures true metal thickness by single back-wall echo. We measure metal and coating thicknesses, each adjusted for their correct material sound velocities without removing paint and coating.
Videoscopic Testing
Videoscope provides users working in challenging environments with a remote visual inspection tool that has the image quality and ease of use to get the job done. It is used to detect fine scratches that are hard to see with the naked eye. It is useful to inspect the gearbox of a wind turbine, boilers etc.
Eddy current Testing
Eddy-current testing is one of many electromagnetic testing methods used to detect and characterize surface and sub-surface flaws in conductive materials.The technique is very sensitive and can detect tight cracks. ULTRATECH ENGINEERS Provide
- ECT with Surface Probe
- ECT with encircling Probe
- ECT with Internal Probe
Leak Testing
Leak testing is a process used to detect manufacturing defects which helps verify the integrity of products and improve consumer safety. For example, the automotive industry consistently uses leak testing to verify that assembly operations were completed properly and subcomponents are leak free. These leak testing procedures are defined and specified by a variety of standard organizations. ULTRATECH ENGINEERS provides
- Helium Leak Testing
- Vaccum Leak Testing
