Ultrasonic Shear Wave Testing - SWUT or UTSW

Ultrasonic Shear Wave Testing relies on the principles of ultrasonics to probe the internal structure of materials for defects, cracks, or flaws. By generating shear waves that propagate through the material at a perpendicular angle to the sound wave's direction, UTSW enables us to identify subsurface anomalies that might not be detectable with other NDT techniques. These waves are highly sensitive to the material's internal structure, making SWUT an invaluable tool for assessing welds, castings, forgings, and other complex components. At Steel City NDT, our advanced SWUT equipment and skilled technicians work together to deliver precise and reliable results, ensuring the integrity of your critical assets.s.

SWUT's versatility extends across a wide range of industries, where its accuracy and sensitivity play a critical role in ensuring the structural integrity of various components. At Steel City NDT, we utilize SWUT for weld inspections in the oil and gas, petrochemical, railroad, aerospace, manufacturing, and power generation industries, helping identify defects that might compromise the integrity of pipelines, pressure vessels, and welds. In the aerospace sector, SWUT proves invaluable for inspecting complex components like turbine blades, engine, and wing components. Moreover, SWUT is highly effective in inspecting critical infrastructure, such as bridges and buildings, to ensure their long-term stability and safety.
