Shear Wave Ultrasonic Testing

Shear-wave, or angle-beam, ultrasonic testing introduces sound waves into a weld at a calculated angle, revealing cracks, lack of fusion, and other discontinuities that straight-beam methods can miss.

Single-side access and portable equipment make the technique highly practical for field inspection of new fabrications, in-service welds, and structural steel. Real-time imaging allows inspectors to size and locate defects with precision, delivering immediate, actionable results. Environmentally safe and easily mobilised, shear-wave testing provides accurate, dependable insight wherever weld quality must be verified quickly and cost-effectively.
