ULTRASONIC TESTING

If you want to find a hole causing water ingress in your vessel or vehicle, there is a good chance that ultrasonic can help.

​

Often called UT or UT testing it consists of generating ultrasonic sound using an ultrasonic transmitter, placing this physically on one side of whatever you are testing and then checking on the other side with a receiver tuned to the transmitter frequency to see if there is any ultrasound detected. The ultrasound can only go through an air hole.

​

Ultrasound is not audible so the receiver converts the ultrasound to an audible sound. This audible sound is heard through headphones or a small internal loudspeaker.

The inspections locate defective seals, directing maintenance attention to a specific point for repair work. The technique is faster and more reliable than the traditional chalk mark and water dosing method.
