Ultrasonic NDT in acoustically absorbent materials – OEM Application
Belltech’s PCI-DBUT card has been used in a highly prestigious ultrasonic NDT system looking for defects and anomolies in a highly acoustically absorbent medium.
Traditionally absorbent mediums present a problem for ultrasonic techniques. The attenuation of the sound waves means that very little signal is actually received by the probe. Our customer, Acuity Products have been able to overcome these problems by taking advantage of the high analogue signal to noise ratio and advanced filtering techniques employed by the DBUT hardware. Acuity have added their own cutting edge signal processing algorithms to create a system capable of successfuly detecting defects in materials such as XLPE.
