Laser UT is fast and effective on rough
surfaces. It functions effectively in a
factory environment. It is ideally suited
for many applications that are beyond the
capabilities of conventional ultrasonic
testing. The applications extend over three
broad areas:
Process monitoring: measurements early in an
industrial process on parts that are hot and/or
moving at high speed
Post-process evaluation: high resolution
inspection of small parts; fast areal scans
of
large components or structures
In-service inspection: inspection of complex
structures (turbine blades); inspection
under hazardous conditions (nuclear power
plants); fast scanning of safety-critical
oil and
gas pipelines
