Gochnauer has more than three decades of world-wide NDT sales and marketing experience with a major emphasis on hand-held ultrasonic products.

Short range guided wave testing (SRGWT) is an application of guided ultrasonic sound waves using special types of probes. When the guided waves hit the discontinuities, the mode converted sound is reflected back and received by the transducer.

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.

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.

One of the greatest challenges in industrial nondestructive testing (NDT) is performing inspections at high production rates.

Although initially developed as a method for detecting defects in structures in order to safeguard against catastrophic failures, ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) has evolved immensely to a technique considered the mainstay for the NDT industry.
