Both Hugo Morgan-Harris and Duncan Saunders have trained to use specialist NDT equipment and have passed Level 1 & 2 Exams in Ultrasound and Thermal Imaging.
Ultrasound can be used in several key areas, more normally when looking at the thickness of a hull/ mast or any other FRP skin.
Ultrasound is also ideal for inspecting hulls for damage, such as delamination/ deep cracks or viods within an FRP laminate.
In short the equipment allows us to see deep within a laminate without the need to carry out destructive tests.
