Application Notes

Spot-Weld Ultrasonic Inspection

18th November 2019

Sonatest rubber tips are designed to be used with the RDT delay line family and offer an effective alternative to the more traditional approach of water filled contact probes.

Application Notes

FMC/TFM Technique for Defect Characterisation

18th November 2019

The TFM technique is not affected by the beam size; the algorithm creates a virtual focus on every pixel of the image.

Application Notes

Curved Surface Correction (CSC) for Long Seam Weld Inspection

23rd October 2019

Phased Array inspection of curved components can be challenging, especially for seam welds in small diameter or heavy wall pipes as inspection software tools and accessories are generally designed for flat surfaces.
