Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
High-Penetration Internal Flaw Detection for Safety-Critical Structures
At MB Engineering & Inspection Services, our Ultrasonic Testing (UT) service delivers advanced, non-destructive inspection for detecting internal flaws and discontinuities in metal structures and components. Recognised as a cornerstone in quality assurance and preventive maintenance, UT is integral to our mission of supporting structural integrity and compliance across industries such as maritime, energy, infrastructure, and ports.
🔬 What is Ultrasonic Testing?
Ultrasonic Testing utilises high-frequency sound waves transmitted into the material via a transducer. Reflected signals from internal flaws (such as cracks, voids, or inclusions) are measured and analysed. The method is capable of:
Detecting subsurface defects
Measuring material thickness
Locating flaws with high precision
It is ideal for both weld inspections and corrosion monitoring, offering deep penetration without damaging the tested object.
Applications of UT at MB Engineering
Our UT service is used to inspect critical load-bearing structures, pressure vessels, and port machinery components, ensuring early identification of internal issues and reducing operational risk.
✅ Maritime Sector
Internal weld inspections for new ship builds
Hull integrity verification
Boiler and pressure vessel thickness gauging
✅ Port Equipment Inspection
Structural integrity assessment of:
Quay Cranes (QC)
Rubber Tyred Gantries (RTG)
Automated Rail-Mounted Gantries (ARMG)
Inspection of load-bearing arms, joints, and lifting mechanisms
✅ Process Plants & Industrial Infrastructure
Thickness measurement of pipelines
Crack detection in welded joints
Corrosion mapping of tanks and pressure systems
