technician inspecting a pipe

Applied Technical Services provides UT pipe inspections to detect irregularities and defects in piping materials and components. The regular inspection of pipes is imperative to many industries such as power generation, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals, which rely on pipes for essential work operations.

What is UT?

UT, or ultrasonic testing, is a nondestructive testing method used to measure the thickness of pipe walls. UT pipe inspections utilize high-frequency sound waves that produce reflections to help locate defects in pipes or welds. Common defects include corrosion, cracks, lack of penetration, lack of fusion, inclusions, or other imperfections that may affect the integrity of the pipes. We offer ultrasonic solutions for UT pipe inspections depending on client specifications and pipe accessibility. The following methods can be specified to accommodate a client’s needs:

Ultrasonic inspections provide a cost-effective method of NDT that produces reliable results. This method is highly portable and flexible because it only requires access to one side in most cases. This allows our technicians to inspect irregularly shaped and cumbersome materials. Our team can provide rapid and highly accurate results using the latest and most advanced equipment.
