Group Description
Welcome to [NDT Inspection Portal]’s ultrasonic testing (UT) group, a place for professionals to connect and discuss the latest techniques and technologies in ultrasonic inspection.
UT is a non-destructive testing method that uses ultrasonic waves to inspect the condition of components such as pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels. It is a versatile and widely used method that can be used to inspect a variety of materials and components, including metals, plastics, and composites.
The UT method involves the use of an ultrasonic probe or sensor to transmit ultrasonic waves through the material of the component and detect any reflections or echoes that are returned. The waveform of the echoes is analyzed to determine the presence and location of any flaws, defects, or other abnormalities within the component. UT is commonly used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, to ensure the safety and integrity of components.
Our member group offers a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices on UT and its applications in various industries. Join our community of experts from around the world and be a part of the conversation on advancing the practice of ultrasonic testing. Whether you are new to ultrasonic inspection or an experienced professional, you’ll find valuable resources and a welcoming community in our UT group.

We find that the DMS Go+ and DA 503 probe will cover most of the rubber conveyor belts types. It is a most cost effective solution.
The typical requirement of asset owners is to measure the cover thickness of rubber down to either the fabric or steel cord.
Using a twin crystal probe allows you to take thickness measurements down to less than 1.0 mm.
You require a machine with a good quality pulser so that the pulse of sound energy can penetrate the rubber. This is due to the sound absorbing properties of rubber. Standard ultrasonic thickness gauges just do not measure up. Using a single crystal probe will allow you to measure say 4 mm rubber and above but due to the design of a single crystal you cannot measure thin thickness.
That is why the above combination is the most suitable.
Hope this helps
Cheers
