    Description

    Tune into this webinar to learn more about the cutting-edge NDE method of acoustography, a full-field, large-area ultrasonic imaging technique where a novel, super high-resolution 2D ultrasound detector (AO sensor) is used to produce instant X-ray-like ultrasound images of test parts to reveal anomalies. As demonstrated in a case study, the method is especially useful for the inspection of smaller composite parts, such as T-, L-, and U-shaped clips in aerospace. Acoustography provides a significant advantage over conventional point-by-point C-scans due to higher speed, automated UT without the expense of multi-axes gantries or robots, and even phased array, since minimal training required, making the method suitable for Level 1 UT operators.

    Advantages discussed in this webinar include:

    • better quality of inspection data obtained compared to A-scan,
    • digital archiving for later recall,
    • higher efficiency than manual scanning, and
    • inspection of multiple specimens in just one image within seconds.
