Ultrasonic Inspection

Ultrasonic Inspection At TesTex we use ultrasonics predominately to measure the thickness of materials. Ultrasonics are used during most inspections and can be applied to almost every asset. We regularly use ultrasonics on the following: Storage Tanks – The floor, shell, roof, sump, nozzles etc. Pipelines – Typically each spool is tested at various points, with a priority given to bend pieces and other high risk areas. Boiler Tubes – Each tube can be tested on each side at various locations along the tube to determine overall condition Heat Exchangers – IRIS can be used to determine precise thickness values in ferrous tubing, and give wall loss percentages, distinguishing between I.D and O.D defects Pressure Vessels Stack tower & columns Shear Wave Ultrasonics We also provide Shear Wave Ultrasonics which can be used to look for weld defects below the surface, such as porosity, slag inclusions, lack of fusion, lack of penetration and cracking. Shear wave is often used an alternative to radiography. To find out more about how we can help with your next inspection project call us on 01469 541586. Or send us an Email.
