Ultrasonic inspection

Expertise

TWI's three decades of in-depth experience in all areas of ultrasonic inspection has made it an acknowledged world-leader. Among its notable achievements is the development of novel technology for long-range detection of corrosion under insulation in process pipework. Recent project work has included:

• inspection of critical adhesive bonds in flight simulators
• development of inspection procedures for copper welds in waste nuclear fuel canisters
• monitoring of flaws in pressure vessels operating at high temperature
• optimisation of automated test procedures for welds in stainless steels

Resource

• state-of-the-art flaw detection equipment for manual & automated inspection
• PC controlled, high resolution immersion scanning system
• practical advice on inspection procedures & standards
• independent, third party assessment of inspection data
• training in conventional & advanced techniques
• specialised, on-site inspection services

Types of ultrasonic inspection:

• Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
• Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT)
• Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)
• Immersion and large area ultrasonic mapping
• Ultrasonic bond testing
• Non-contact ultrasonics
• Ultrasonic modelling
