Q2025

what is UT testing

Ultrasonic testing

In this case, an indication (peak in the data) through the red line (or gate) indicates a good blade; an indication to the left of that range indicates a crack.

Q2025

what is UT testing

Ultrasonic testing

There are two indications, one from the initial pulse of the probe, and the second due to the back wall echo.

00

Q2025

what is UT testing

Ultrasonic testing

RIGHT: A defect creates a third indication and simultaneously reduces the amplitude of the back wall indication.

00

Q2025

what is UT testing

Ultrasonic testing

In ultrasonic testing (UT), very short ultrasonic pulse-waves with center frequencies ranging from 0.1-15 MHz and occasionally up to 50 MHz are launched into materials to detect internal flaws or to characterize materials.

Q2025

what is UT testing

Ultrasonic testing

A common example is ultrasonic thickness measurement , which tests the thickness of the test object, for example, to monitor pipework corrosion.

Q2027

What is Ischemia or infarction?

Ischemia

In medicine , ischemia, also spelled as ischaemia or ischæmia, (; from Greek language ισχαιμία, ischaimía; isch- root denoting a restriction or thinning or to make or grow thin/lean, haema blood ) is a restriction in blood supply to tissues , causing a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).
