We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ultrasonics",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Scanner tests weld quality from
Phoenix Inspection Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Mini Magman can be used on everything from flat plate to pipes as small as three-inch outside diameter and is the suitable tool for testing pipe to elbow welds".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Analyser eases alloy verification from
Niton UK: "The XLt alloy analyser allows Gammax to offer a service that can be seen to be completely accurate, as well as being far quicker".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Guyson International
concerning its Achieving compliance with the SED
- take a look at Strategies for trike replacement
which says: "Everyone is keen to tell you what you can't do any more - this article suggests alternative parts cleaning strategies".
Take a look also at the news release from Ultrawave, Ultrasonics clean up on oil filters,
as well as Ultrasonics clean up on engine rebuilds from Ultrawave,
and Level sensors provide solid performance from Endress + Hauser.
