2. introduction
1
This research paper talks about ultrasound equipment used in industries. In which the
function of these equipment, its advantages and disadvantages will be discussed.
In addition, the types of ultrasound equipment will be discussed as it has various uses.
And finally we will see the critical point that this team has.

3. description
That is why ultrasonic inspection for
fault checking serves mainly for the
control of metal parts in the
different industrial sectors, for the
testing of welds and materials and
for the control of semi-finished
products. It can also be used to
measure the thickness of a material,
the hardness or flow of a pipe.

4. Varietiesofequipment"ultrasound"
1
A weld inspection with an ultrasound meter
allows non-destructive cracks to be detected
Thanks to weld inspection and ultrasound
fault checking, you can perform effective
quality control.
Measuring the surface hardness of a
material is an important area of ultrasonic
inspection.The UCI (Ultrasonic Contact
Impedance) procedure allows a non-
destructive test to be performed directly on
the material itself or on the finished product.
Ultrasonic measurement to accurately
determine the thickness of a material is one
of the most common ultrasonic inspection
measurement procedures.

5. Basicequipament
1
Most ultrasound inspection equipment includes the following basic equipment:
 An electronic signal generator that produces alternating voltage bursts.
 A transducer that emits a beam of ultrasonic waves when alternating voltage
bursts are applied.
 A coupler to transfer energy from ultrasound waves to the workpiece..
 A transducer (can be the same as the transducer that initiates ultrasonic waves or
may be different) to accept and convert the output ultrasound wave of the workpiece
into voltage bursts. In most systems a simple transducer acts as an emitter and
receiver.
 An electronic device to amplify and modify the transducer signals.
 An output device that displays the resulting information and projects it either printed
or on-screen
 An electronic clock or stopwatch to control the operation of various
systemcomponents.

6. Advantage
1
 The principal advantage of the inspection for ultrasound is the comparation u others
methods for inspection not destructive in the parts for metal.
 Superior penetration power, which allows the detection of defects under the
surface of the material. Ultrasound inspection is performed in surrounding
thicknesses of a few meters in many types of parts and thicknesses close to 6m in
axial inspection of parts as in the length of a steel shaft or forged rotors.
 High sensitivity, allowing detection of extremely small defects.
 Greater accuracy than other non-destructive methods in determining the position of
internal defects, the calculation of their size, and character intheir orientation and
shape
 The operation is electronic, which provides almost instantaneous indications of
defects.This makes the convenient method for immediate interpretation,
automation, rapid
 You only need one surface to access.

7. Disadvantage
1
 Manual operation requires the careful attention of experienced technicians.
 Extensive technical knowledge is required for the development of inspection
procedures.
 Parts that are rough, irregular in shape, very small or fine, or not homogeneous are
difficult to examine.
 Discontinuities that are present in a low layer immediately below the surface may not
be noticeable.
 Know in detail the part to which the inspection is to be carried out, to calibrate the
equipment and to characterize defects.

8. CriticalPoint
1
the critical point that this equipment may have will be due to internal failures since
it is an electrical equipment.Could fail due to electrity overload, burned fuse or
poorly connected cable
In which this equipment can last a long time without maintenance if it is in optimal
conditions and that the user has high knowledge about the equipment.

9. Glossary
1
1. non-destructive: type of test practiced on a material that does not
permanently alter its properties.
2. Probe: Mechanical or electrical instrument used to explore inaccessible
or difficult access areas.
3. sound waves: is a disturbance that progresses or spreads in a material
medium or even in a vacuum.
4. Flow: Moving a fluid.
5. Thickness: The idea of thickness refers to the bulk of something. The
term can be linked to the width or thickness of a body.
6. electronic signal: is a type of signal generated by some
electromagnetic phenomenon.
7. alternating voltaje: is that type of electric current that is characterized by
the magnitude and direction of a cyclic type variation.
8. Coupler: devices that join the power transmitted over a transmission line to
another port.
9. Transducer: Device that is on a mission to receive electrical power.
10.Calibrate: adjust objects or equipment depending on how it is required

10. Conclution.
1
It can be concluded that ultrasound inspection
is defined as a mechanical type non-
destructive inspection procedure, which is
based on acoustic impedance, which
manifests itself as the product of the
maximum speed of sound propagation and
the density of the material.The ultrasound
equipment currently used allows the detection
of surface, subsurface and internal
discontinuities, depending on the type of
probe used and the frequencies selected
within a range from 0.25 to 25 MHz.
