UT, which is short for Ultrasonic Test, is widely used for testing finished steel pipe. We all know that UT test is a must in steel pipe industry, but do you know what are the advantages of UT test? In the article, we will introduce the advantages of UT test.
Ultrasonic testing has lots of advantages in the application of pipeline inspection:
Non-destructiveness is the most important advantage. On the one hand, the inspected steel pipe doesn’t need to be cut or exposed to damaging chemicals component, which means the inspection won’t have any influence on its future usage. On the other hand, it does no harm to operators, leaving no potential risk for operators. It is both safe for the pipes and operators.
Strong penetrating power makes sure it has a wide detection range. Any defects can be detected. It is useful and efficient for steel pipe inspection.
High sensitivity features allow it to precisely and quickly find out the exact position on the steel pipe, providing accurate and dependable testing result.
Testing result can show immediately. And the testing machine make it possible to get flaw’s position on tested steel pipe.
