Custom And Standard UT Test Blocks For Nondestructive Testing

UT test blocks are used in metering systems, and they are also known as connection blocks. These devices are heavily used when you want to run a test on a material without destroying it.

What kind of materials are used to create UT test blocks?

UT test blocks can be standardized or personalized.

Standard blocks are available off the shelf and they are made from a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum or steel. Customers also have the opportunity to choose an alloy of preference, but for this they will have to submit an order for special allow UT test blocks. These test blocks can be manufactured using copper-nickel, titanium, cast iron or even monel; but more materials are available.

What are the most popular models of UT test blocks?

But there is one more thing you have to keep in mind when placing an order for UT test blocks: their size and shape. Test blocks come in various shapes and sizes depending on the testing they are supposed to support. Among the most popular UT test blocks we mention the following:

• Callibration blocks
• Thickness gauges
• Reference blocks
• Profile blocks
• Amplitude blocks

Plus, if you are looking for precision machined widths, you can ask for EDM Notches that are used predominantly in the nuclear industry, turbine industry and in the steel / gas / oil industries.
