Ultrasonic Imaging
Over the last decade, advancements in electronic hardware
and software have revolutionized ultrasonic testing.
No longer is the technique reliant upon amplitude and range
measurement or operator skill and diligence in interpreting
a 'live' A-scan display.
It is now possible to multi-plex between transducer elements
and manipulate the beam angularly or directionally to achieve
volumetric coverage.
Different techniques, firing sequences and test parameters
can be electronically combined to maximize performance.
Scan motion can be automatically controlled and monitored
and a variety of automated or mechanized deployment systems
can be used in remote, difficult or hazardous environments.
Analogue signals can be captured, digitised and processed
in real time to create very high resolution multi-elevation
or 3-dimensional images which can be quantized to display
any test parameter in a variety of presentation formats.
All data, including calibration data, can be recorded, stored,
transmitted, retrieved and copied.
Off-line, the as-recorded data can be processed, analysed
and reported without any degradation.
However, despite these major advancements and the improvements
they afford, like all inspection methods, ultrasonic testing
has its limitations - particularly when used to measure reflectivity.
 We
offer a comprehensive range of advanced ultrasonic testing
solutions applicable to simple tasks like wall thickness measurement
and weld inspection through to highly complex tasks such as
the assessment of micro-structural damage.
These include manually, mechanically or robotically deployed
contact, gap scan, immersion & jet probe techniques.
