GE USLT Series

The GE USLT Series is a powerful ultrasonic testing system that can be used for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Material characterization: The USLT Series can be used to characterize the material properties of metals, plastics, and composites. This information can be used to determine the quality of the material, identify defects, and predict the material's performance.
  • Reflector characterization: The USLT Series can be used to characterize the properties of reflectors, such as their size, shape, and orientation. This information can be used to locate and identify defects, and to determine the severity of the defect.

A PLUS for the USLT 2000
The software program FFT is an additional
module for the ultrasonic test system
USLT 2000 that can be easily installed
as an optional „Plug-In“. This additional
software extends the range of functions
of the USLT 2000; new fields of applica-
tion are opened up.
In combination with the modern com
-
puter technology and the FFT method
(Fast Fourier Transform), a fundamental
method of signal processing, ultrasonic
signals can also be displayed and evalu-
ated online within the frequency range.
This spectrum analysis is used for the
nondestructive characterization of mate-
rial and reflector properties.

... for the characterization of material and reflector properties
The method
The method makes use of the fact that
every ultrasonic echo is a convolution
product of the properties of the acoustic
transducer, of the material, and of the re-
flector, among other things. If the frequency
spectrum of an acoustic transducer is
known - which can likewise be determined
by means of the program -, the frequency
shift measurement enables conclusions to
be drawn with regard to the reflector and
the material.
The FFT software shows the A-scan’s
frequency spectrum in the right-hand
section of the window. The evaluation
parameters are displayed below it: for
the time signal the pulse duration, for
the frequency spectrum the peak and
center frequency, and the bandwidth.
The applications
In addition to the reflector characteriza-
tion - for example the distinction between
flat or planar and curved reflectors - the
FFT module makes a material characteri-
zation possible, for example:
• in materials testing on metals: metall
-
urgical properties
• in materials testing on plastics:
embrittlement, consistence, matrix
characterization of composite
materials
• in medical applications: mineral con
-
tent of bones or osteoporosis
• in foodstuff control: detection of
sedimentation, gelation, impurities,
temperature effect
