Ultrasonic Testing

AKMEC Group Provides Ultrasonic Shear wave inspection to inspect the casting and welds of piping, plate, vessels & other process equipment’s on the construction projects & process plants. We also offer Ultrasonic Longitudinal wave inspection to perform thickness measurements & corrosion scanning & mapping in process industries. Ultrasonic testing used in a wide range of industries including Oil & Gas, petrochemical, chemical, fertilizer, marine aerospace, automotive, construction, medical, metallurgy, and manufacturing.

Advantages

High penetration power, allowing for flaw detection deep within a part

High sensitivity, allowing for the detection of very small flaws

Can be used to test when only one side of an object is accessible

Greater accuracy, when compared to other non-destructive testing methods, for determining depth of internal flaws and the thickness of parts with parallel surfaces

Able to estimate size, shape, orientation and nature of defects

Non-hazardous to nearby personnel, equipment or materials

Highly automated and portable operations possible

Immediate results can be obtained, allowing for immediate decisions to be made

Limitations

Requires experienced technicians for inspection and data interpretation

Objects that are rough, irregularly shaped, very small or thin, or not homogeneous are difficult to inspect

UT may have reduced sensitivity for volumetric flaws, particularly metal inclusions, than radiographic testing
