ULTRASONIC TESTING (UT)

Empire offers standard ultrasonic testing (UT) inspection services for the identification and location of discontinuities, material structure analysis, and wall thickness measurements as a non-destructive testing (NDT) principal.

Ultrasonic weld inspection, frequently defined as UTFD/UT, is widely used to inspect the consistency of weld joints in pipe lines, vessels, columns, and structures in the oil and gas industry, as well as many other industries. This practice is usually used in these industries because of several of benefits, including portability, ease of use and consistency in performance. Ultrasonic inspection can identify, locate, and measure surface and subsurface detects in metals, including flaws too small to be identified by other methods.
