UT

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Volumetric flaw detection and precise thickness measurement using high-frequency sound.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal discontinuities and measure remaining wall thickness without cutting into the component. It is the workhorse of weld inspection and in-service corrosion assessment across pressure equipment, structural steel and piping.

TESKO deploys calibrated pulse-echo and thickness gauges with EN ISO 9712 Level II and Level III operators. Every job is backed by traceable calibration blocks, documented procedures and a reviewed report you can submit straight to a notified body or client QA.

Typical Applications

  • Butt and fillet weld examination
  • Plate and forging lamination checks
  • Corrosion / erosion thickness surveys
  • Pressure vessel and boiler walls
  • Pipeline and piping wall loss
  • Bolt and stud integrity

Why TESKO NDT

  • Detects internal flaws conventional surface methods miss
  • Single-sided access — no need to reach both faces
  • Immediate, quantitative thickness data
  • No radiation exclusion zone, unlike RT

Frequently Asked Questions

Conventional UT uses a single fixed-angle probe; Phased Array (PAUT) electronically steers many elements to sweep multiple angles at once, giving faster coverage and an imaged, recordable result. We offer both and recommend the right tool per application.

Yes. Thickness and corrosion surveys are routinely performed on live, insulated and in-service equipment, making UT ideal for risk-based and online integrity programs.

Typical steel ranges run from under 1 mm up to several hundred millimetres, with accuracy to ±0.1 mm on calibrated surfaces.
