UT Thickness (limited) – New Orleans

Ultrasonic testing involves the use of high frequency sound waves to determine the condition of a component.  These high frequency sound waves, ultrasound, travel along very distinct paths and reflect back to the transducer allowing the technician to “see” inside the part being tested.

Longitudinal beams are used for determining thickness of the component or some material properties and flaws.

Of paramount importance in ultrasonic testing is the operator’s ability to know where the sound is and to interpret the returned signal that would often indicate a flaw in the material or reduced thickness.  Our course is designed to ensure that you can perform this crucial function.
