Fast and reliable, PAUT technique has dramatically improved the probability of detection of defects inside a weld and became over the years a code compliant replacement solution to the radiographic testing. 

Inline automated manufacturing has quickly become more complex than ever. In order to ensure the quality of the product being manufactured, inline testing is now a critical part of the manufacturing process. 

The same leaps in technology that have taken us from Pac-Man to today’s virtual-reality gaming are having a big impact on nondestructive inspection.

F77 series ultrasonic sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are especially designed to fit in tight spaces, but this is only the beginning of what they have to offer.  

Composite components are used extensively in the design of new generation aircraft. During manufacturing, the aircraft’s structural components must be inspected with ultrasonic technology to ensure their integrity.

Siemens announced the release of the new digitally based SITRANS FS230 clamp-on ultrasonic flow system, a combination of the new Sitrans FST030 transmitter and Sitrans FSS200 clamp-on sensors.

A well-known study published in 1999 by NACE (the National Association of Corrosion Engineers) titled “The United States Cost of Corrosion Study” indicated that the direct cost of corrosion is more than three percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) is a well-established technique that utilizes high frequency sound waves to locate cracks and other hidden flaws in metals, composites, and plastics.

Simulation can be an invaluable tool in designing probes and inspection strategies for optimal performance.

Sonobond’s ultrasonic technology provides an ultrasonic system capable of welding the tin-coated wires and terminals essential to electrical applications for high-temperature, high-humidity and other environmentally challenging conditions.
