Ultrasonic Testing

Protect your most valuable assets and ensure productivity using the most widely trusted non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions available. Built upon the Krautkrämer legacy, each of Waygate Technologies’ high-performance ultrasonic testing products was carefully designed to detect even the smallest flaws in a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. Common inspection applications include welds, forgings, bars/billets, tubing, and tank corrosion.

Be it downtime at a refinery or metal bar manufacturing facility, our flaw detectors, probes and transducers, advanced inspection software, scanners, and thickness gauges are designed to helpprovide long-term protection and pinpoint the source of a wide range of both common and uncommon faults.

Are you facing an urgent or high-cost inspection challenge? Or one for which neither internal resources suffice nor commercial off-the-shelf solutions exist? With the help of Waygate Technologies‘ AppLab Service, you can leverage our expertise to find a tailor-made solution for your specific requirement.

Industrial ultrasonic testing systems built to ensure the safety and reliability of your most critical assets.

Don't just assess the quality of individual components, but eliminate upstream generated defects during manufacturing to boost your bottom line.

Intuitive software built with Rightrax PM installed sensors monitor the loss of interior wall thickness in pipes, tanks, and vessels to support asset integrity.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a form of non-destructive testing (NDT) that employs high-frequency sound waves for the purpose of characterizing the thickness or internal structure of a given sample. The frequencies used for UT are typically in the range of 500 kHz to 20 Mhz.

As a non-destructive testing method, ultrasonic testing is ideally suited to the detection of flaws, defects, and welded seams where destruction of the target sample is not an option.

In addition to detecting flaws in production samples, periodic UT inspections are also perfect for checking for corrosion in existing equipment, such as pipelines, and is therefore an indispensable part of any predictive maintenance program.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is ideally suited for the inspection of material structures such as metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites.

While denser materials up to and including concrete can be successfully inspected, the output resolution is usually less-defined.

Highly porous biological materials such as wood and paper do not react well to ultrasonic testing.

Some of the many advantages of Ultrasonic Testing (UT) include, but are not limited to:

While Ultrasonic Testing (UT) offers many benefits over other non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, there are still some inherent drawbacks:

There are numerous applications where industrial ultrasonic testing makes sense, but industries that rely on UT to a large degree are:

While there are several resources available for non-destructive testing training, Waygate Technologies offers NDT training across the broadest range of inspection methods, which are offered around the globe, or at a location of your choice.
