Our technicians utilize Ultrasonic Thickness Testing to determine the amount of corrosion to the carbon steel shells. Ultrasonic testing uses high frequency, highly directional sound waves to measure material thickness. Using frequencies beyond the limit of human hearing, ultrasonic instruments generate short bursts of sound energy that are coupled into the test piece, and the instrument monitors and analyzes reflected or transmitted wave patterns to generate test results. Ultrasonic testing is always completely nondestructive, with no cutting or sectioning required
