Ultrasonic Inspection
Ultrasonic sound waves used to detect internal flaws and size them accurately.
Ultrasonic Testing is a core discipline at Charlton Metal Testing, delivered by a highly competent team of UT technicians with extensive experience across welds, structural components, forgings, castings, corrosion mapping and in‑service assets. Our technicians bring a blend of technical precision and practical field expertise, ensuring every inspection is carried out safely, accurately, and in full compliance with industry standards.
We mobilise quickly and operate nationwide — and internationally when required — supporting shutdowns, construction projects, fabrication yards, and long‑term inspection programmes. Our ultrasonic technicians deliver reliable, repeatable results across a wide range of applications, backed by clear reporting and expert interpretation.
Why ultrasonic testing?
- Immediate results with no processing delay

- Excellent for detecting and sizing internal discontinuities
- Suitable for a wide range of materials and thicknesses
- Minimal access requirements — only one surface typically needed
- No radiation controls, allowing work in busy or restricted environments
- Versatile technique that complements radiography within inspection programmes
