Gripco Inspection Services

Conventional UT

Conventional pulse-echo ultrasonic testing uses selected probes and calibrated sound paths to detect and characterize internal reflectors in welds and components.

Service scope

  • Butt welds and structural joints
  • Forgings, plates and castings
  • Laminar and volumetric discontinuity checks

Inspection approach

Gripco plans the work around the component, material, access conditions and required acceptance standard. Equipment checks and calibration are completed before examination, and relevant indications are evaluated by qualified personnel under the approved procedure.

Typical applications

  • Butt welds and structural joints
  • Forgings, plates and castings
  • Laminar and volumetric discontinuity checks

Reporting

The report states technique, probe, calibration block, scan coverage, reference level, detected indications and evaluation.
