Angle Beam Transducers

Angle Beam Transducers

Angle beam transducers and wedges are typically used to introduce a refracted shear wave into the test material. An angled sound path allows the sound beam to come in from the side, thereby improving detectability of flaws in and around welded areas.

9 Reasons Why You Need a Metal Conductivity Meter

Eddy current conductivity meter

Electrical conductivity tester is a tool that test the conductivity of the metals. like aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.   I. What is the Conductivity of Metal? The conductivity of metal is defined as the measure of metal’s ability to transfer electric charge, heat, or sound. Imagine you are touching a metal piece in […]

What’s Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement?

A-B Scan Thickness Gauges

  In the field of ultrasonic testing, ultrasonic thickness measurement is a method of performing non-destructive testing of the local thickness of a solid element (typically made of metal, if using ultrasound testing for industrial purposes) basing on the time taken by the ultrasound wave to return to the surface. This type of measurement is […]

What is EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) Machining?

EDM machine

    Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a nonconventional metal removal machining method that employs the use of an electrode to machine the desired shape into a workpiece under carefully controlled conditions. it can be used in calibration block manufacturing, which usually need many different types of hole or notche. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is […]

NDT Knowledge – Transducer Efficiency, Bandwidth and Frequency

Dual Element Ultrasonic Probe

  Ultrasonic transducer is an important part of ut flaw detector. As we know, the ultrasonic transducer incorporates a piezoelectric element, which converts electrical signals into mechanical vibrations (transmit mode) and mechanical vibrations into electrical signals (receive mode).Many factors, including material, mechanical and electrical construction, and the external mechanical and electrical load conditions, influence the […]

The angle beam testing is commonly used for ultrasonic flaw detection. It is effective to detect common flaws like discontinuities.

What’s the Advantage and Limitation of Ultrasonic Testing?

advantages and limitations of ultrasonic testing

Ultrasonic testing, or UT as it is often called, has many uses in the world of manufacturing and quality control. It involves the use of ultrasound to detect defects in products such as metal components and other structures, even when they are hidden under paint or another surface layer. Ultrasonic testing can be used to […]

Calibration Methods and Calibration Blocks in Ultrasonic Testing

AWS Shear Wave Distance:Sensitivity Calibration (DSC) Block

Calibration refers to the act of evaluating and adjusting the precision and accuracy of ultrasonic flaw detector. In ultrasonic testing, several forms of calibration must occur. First, the electronics of the equipment must be calibrated to ensure that they are performing as designed. This operation is usually performed by the equipment manufacturer and will not […]
