Ultrasonic testing of metal structures

To ensure safe operating conditions for any metal structures, it is necessary to conduct regular checks of their quality. The safety of their use, the minimum likelihood of an emergency is the key to regular checks, regardless of the service life of the equipment, the scope, and the duration of operation.

One of the most common ways to carry out such checks is ultrasonic testing. Being a method of non-destructive testing, ultrasonic flaw detection is characterized by the following features: the possibility of its implementation both in specially prepared rooms and at the place of operation of the object, without decommissioning it. The undoubted advantages of ultrasonic testing are also the simplicity and high speed of verification, low cost of organizing the study, the accuracy of the data obtained, the absolute safety of the procedure and, therefore, the possibility of repeating the verification procedure.

One of the objects of ultrasonic testing are various types and purposes of metal structures. With the help of special equipment – a flaw detector – the strength of the product, the presence or absence of cracks, chips and other defects, as well as the quality of welds and joints are examined. Ultrasonic flaw detection is effective in detecting air voids, chemically heterogeneous composition (for example, slag deposits in metal) and detecting the presence of non-metallic elements.

Regular quality control of metal structures is the key to their long and efficient operation. For the organization of ultrasonic flaw detection, please contact with us. We will check metal structures for any purpose promptly and at the highest level!
