Ultrasound

Ultrasound waves do not transmit well through dense bones or through body parts that contain air or gas, such as the bowel.  

Medical Applications

- Diagnostic procedures: Ultrasound can be used to help guide certain medical procedures.  

- Therapeutic uses: Ultrasound can detect and treat soft‑tissue injuries.  

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Ultrasonic testing is a non‑destructive method that uses sound waves to detect cracks and defects in parts and materials. It can also measure material thickness, such as the wall thickness of a pipe.  

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning involves the use of high‑frequency sound waves (above the upper range of human hearing, typically above 18 kHz) to remove contaminants from parts immersed in liquid.  

- Contaminants include dirt, oil, grease, polishing compounds, and mould release agents.  

- Materials that can be cleaned include metals, glass, ceramics, and more.
