Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a nondestructive examination (NDE) method that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect flaws, such as voids, inclusions, changes in density, and other small discontinuities. UT is also widely used as a tool for detecting and monitoring corrosion, measuring wall thickness, detecting and sizing cracks, blisters, discontinuities, and characterizing indications.
