UT is highly sensitive to planar-type defects. UT offers immediate results and a high penetration capability that enables fast detection of subsurface flaws.

Reliance Inspection’s Conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT) services are executed in compliance with industry codes and standards such as ASME, API, and AWS, ensuring accurate and reliable results for clients.

With state of the art digital flaw detectors and a team of highly-skilled technicians, Reliance Inspection is committed to providing fast and efficient inspection services for any application.

How Does It Work?

The process involves transmitting ultrasonic pulse waves into the material being tested, and measuring the time it takes for the waves to be received back to the transducer there for calculating, height sizing, location and defect characterization.

Applications of Conventional UT

UT is commonly used to inspect steel, other metals and alloys, and concrete.

It can detect most weld discontinuities, including cracks, slag, lack of fusion, and disbonding.

UT can also be used to measure intergranular corrosion quantitatively.

Benefits of Conventional UT

• It is an excellent option for inspecting surface and subsurface levels.
• UT provides both thickness measurement and flaw detection.
• It has a superior depth of penetration.
• Results are instant.
• UT is safer and environmentally-safe than radiography.

It is a regulatory requirement in many industries.
