Non-destructive testing — Ultrasonic testing — Through-transmission technique

This document specifies the principles of ultrasonic through-transmission techniques.

Through-transmission techniques can be used for:

—     detection of discontinuities;

—     determination of sound attenuation.

The general principles required for the use of ultrasonic testing of industrial products are described in ISO 16810.

The through-transmission technique is used for the testing of flat products, e.g. plates and sheets.

Further, it can be used for tests, for example:

—     where the shape, dimensions or orientation of possible discontinuities are unfavourable for direct reflection;

—     of materials with high sound attenuation;

—     on thin test objects.

Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic testing - Transmission technique

ISO 16823:2012 specifies the principles of transmis­sion techniques. Transmission techniques can be used for: a) detection of imperfections; b) determination of attenuation. The general principles required for the use of ultrasonic examina­tion of in­dustrial products are described in ISO 16810. The transmission technique is used for examination of flat pro­ducts, e.g. plates and sheets. Further, it is used for examinations e.g.: 1) where the shape, dimensions or orientation of possible imperfections are unfavourable for direct reflection; 2) in materials with high attenuation; 3) in thin products.
