Did you know that the speed of sound in steel is 3.6 MILES per second?!

Armed with this knowledge and the laws of optics, sound or ultrasound can determine many unknown variables in metal, concrete, wood or composite structures. The primary use of ultrasound in metals inspection is for flaw detection. Welding, forging, casting and forming metals can all create discontinuities that depending on the service required, may be considered defects. Boilers and piping systems are also subject to corrosion and ultrasound is the perfect way to see remaining life of those structures without taking them out of service.

Steve maintains his certification to ASNT level III for ultrasonic inspection and level II for dye penetrant and magnetic particle methods. Steve maintains a fully capable lab, consisting of a Stavely 1000+S portable flaw detector, angle and straight beam transducers, reference standards and report generating software.
