Reflection of Sound beam by a flaw gives signal on the oscilloscope.
Pulse-echo instrument capable of exciting a piezoelectric material and generating ultrasonic energy within a weld ,and a suitable cathode ray tube scope capable of displaying the magnitudes of received sound energy. Calibration standards,liquid couplant.
Most weld discontinuities including cracks,slag and incomplete fusion.Can also be used to verify weld thickness.
Most sensitive to planar type discontinuities
.Test results known immediately
.Portable
.Most ultrasonic flaw detectors do not require an electrical power outlet .High penetration capability.
Surface condition must be suitable for coupling of transducer
• Couplant (liquid) required
• Small thin welds maybe difficult to inspect
• Reference standards are required.
Requires a relatively skilled operator or inspector.
