Ultrasound Testing

Amick provides ultrasound testing — a non-destructive evaluation method that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws, measure wall thickness, and identify material inconsistencies that are invisible to the naked eye. Unlike surface inspection methods, ultrasound penetrates into the material itself, revealing hidden defects that could lead to catastrophic failure if left undetected.

Ultrasound testing is particularly valuable for evaluating components where wall thickness loss from corrosion or erosion is a concern — including pins, shafts, load-bearing structural members, and hollow rigging components. It is also used to verify material properties, detect internal cracks and voids, and assess weld integrity in critical lifting equipment.

The process is fast, portable, and non-destructive — meaning the component being tested is not damaged or altered in any way. Results are immediate and quantifiable, providing precise thickness measurements and flaw location data that support informed decisions about equipment serviceability.

Whether for routine maintenance, compliance inspections, or quality assurance following fabrication or repair, Amick's ultrasound testing services deliver the accurate, reliable data you need to keep your equipment in safe service.
