Ultrasound / Ultrasonic test(ing)

Ultrasonic testing belongs to the non-destructive test methods in the field of construction. By sending ultrasonic waves/ultrasonic pulses and receiving the echo (sound reflection) the condition inside the structural element is detected. Applications are e.g. locating voids, cracks, reinforcement, pipe runs, determining the concrete cover, checking the work performed during the construction phase. As ultrasonic testing is non-destructive it is well appropriate for determining the state of historic objects.
