ultraääniUT
ultraääniUT is a term used to describe an enhanced ultrasound-based approach within the broader field of ultrasonic testing (UT). It refers to the integration of conventional ultrasonic testing with real-time data processing, multi-parameter imaging, and AI-assisted interpretation to improve defect detection and sizing.
The method commonly employs phased array transducers or conventional probes, combined with advanced post-processing: full-waveform analysis,
Applications for ultraääniUT span multiple industries, including aerospace component inspection, steel and weld inspections, pipelines, bridges,
Advantages associated with ultraääniUT include higher sensitivity to defects, more detailed characterization of flaw type and
Safety and regulatory considerations in ultrasound-based UT follow established standards for acoustic exposure, data handling, and
Etymologically, the name combines ultraääni, the Finnish term for ultrasound, with UT standing for ultrasonic testing.
