Ultrasonic Testing

In Ultrasonic Testing we use something called “Ultrasonic Vibrations” we must know two facts about a vibration:

  1. A vibration is a back and forth movement.
  2. A vibration is energy in motion

A depression of a surface from its normal position is called a displacement.

Vibrations pass through a solid material as a succession of particle displacements; this can be visualized as shown below:

ultrasonic test principle

The structure of a material is actually many small particles or groups of atoms.

These particles have normal or rest positions and can be displaced from these positions by some force, when the force is removed, the particles will tend to return to their original positions.

Energy is transmitted through a solid material by a serious of small material displacements within the material.

The transmission of Ultrasonic vibrations through a material is related to the elastic properties of the material.

In Ultrasonic Testing a transducer made of Piezo-electric crystals is used for creating and receiving such ultrasonic vibrations.
