Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Solutions
Ultrasonic testing is a versatile non-destructive evaluation method using high frequency sound beams to help detect internal
discontinuities in a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics and composites. It is widely used for testing welds, forgings,
bars/billets, tubing and tanks for corrosion.
Transducers and solutions
GE oers more than 4,000 standard
transducers, including contact,
immersion, angle beam and single/multi-
element probes for virtually all aw and
thickness inspection applications.
Standard and phased array probes are
available for North American and
European specications.
Hardness testing
An extensive range of portable
instruments provide on-site hardness
testing, in dierent scales, with
applications ranging from thin coatings
to large and heavy cast components.
Thickness gaging
These useful and productive tools are
designed to help improve safety and
ensure reliability of equipment and
material subject to corrosion or erosion.
Flaw detection
Flaw detection is a fast and accurate
inspection method to evaluate internal
product integrity. Ultrasound penetrates
deeply into materials searching for
defects, cracks, delamination, lack of
bonding and other discontinuities. A full
range of portable aw detectors is
available, including an upgradeable
solution combining conventional aw
detection with phased array.
Corrosion monitoring sensors
Sensors continuously monitor wall
thickness of oil & gas high temperature
pipelines while providing frequent and
reliable information for decision making.
