Nondestructive Testing is a group of analysis techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage. Methods such as X-ray radiography and ultrasonic testing direct energy into an object. The resulting images (from X-rays) or echoes (from ultrasound) are then analyzed to detect internal flaws and deterioration.
X-ray inspection systems use an X-ray tube as the radiation source. During an inspection, X-rays from the tube are projected through the target object, and a transmitted image is captured by a detector, such as a Flat Panel Detector (FPD). These images are then analyzed to identify internal defects, corrosion, and other forms of deterioration.
Ultrasonic testing (UT) employs an ultrasonic transducer. This device contains a piezoelectric element that vibrates when a high-frequency voltage is applied, generating ultrasonic waves. These waves are transmitted into the object under inspection, and the resulting reflected waves (echoes) are measured to detect internal flaws.
Matsusada Precision provides a comprehensive range of solutions for nondestructive testing. Our offerings include complete X-ray inspection systems, as well as critical components such as high-voltage power supplies for X-ray tubes and high-frequency power supplies for driving piezoelectric elements.
