Ultrasonic Inspection (UT) is a non-destructive testing method which uses high frequency sound energy to conduct sub-surface and surface examinations and make measurements. The ultrasonic vibrations pass through the material and are reflected by any imperfections or defects that are present. Ultrasonic testing is often performed on steel and other metals and alloys, though it can also be used on concrete, wood and composites, albeit with less resolution. It is used in many industries including steel and aluminium construction, metallurgy, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and other transportation sectors.

Flaw indications generally resemble the actual flaw, which allows for quick identification and repair.
