Olympus phased array (PA) instruments produce accurate, detailed cross-sectional pictures of internal structures at fast inspection speeds. Units with TFM/FMC are available for advanced applications.
Eddy Current Flaw Detectors
Advanced eddy current (EC) flaw detectors are used to inspect metallic parts and perform highly reliable flaw detection of surface and near-surface defects.
Eddy Current Array Flaw Detectors
Eddy current array (ECA) instruments provide the ability to electronically drive and read eddy current sensors positioned side by side in the same probe assembly.
Bond Testing
Our complete line of bond testing (BT) flaw detectors provides outstanding capabilities for the location of discontinuities and other flaws in composite structures. We offer a wide range of measurement features and application-specific options for flaw detection.
Probes and Transducers
Probes and transducers help you meet demanding inspection requirements with high-quality probes and transducers in various frequencies, configurations, connector styles, and cable types.FAQ
What is ultrasonic nondestructive testing?
Ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) is a method used to detect the thickness or internal structure of different materials. It enables you to identify flaws in the material such as subsurface defects. Ultrasonic testing works by sending high-frequency sound waves through a material and analyzing the echoes that come back. By analyzing these reflections, you can test the thickness of the material or identify if there is any internal damage, such as cracks or defects.
