ULTRASONIC FLAW DETECTOR:

Fig 8.1

❖ Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a type of inspection technique that is

non destructive. It includes the transmission of ultrasonic waves through an item
or substance.

❖ High-frequency sound waves are moved through the substance in order to

detect the flaws or characterize the material.

❖ In this post, we will discuss the operating principle of ultrasonic flaw detector
machine. Before heading to the operating principle, we must know what ultrasonic
testing is, its theory, and its procedure.

❖ In this technique, high-frequency sound waves are transmitted through the

metal and indicate defects in predictable manners, resulting in different echo
patterns that portable devices may show and record.

❖ Ultrasonic testing is a well-established technique used in many manufacturing,

process, and service sectors, particularly in applications requiring welds and
structural metals.
