Ultrasonic systems and system development at SNL Albuquerque
Abstract
With completion of the High Precision Ultrasonic Scanning System (HPUSS) and purchase of the Olympus acoustic microscope, the SNL Albuquerque NDE divisions now have the capability to ultrasonically scan almost any size and shape of test object. The general purpose ultrasonic scanning system, the high precision ultrasonic scanning system, and the acoustic microscope cover a wide resolution and magnification range. The rest of this paper describes the three systems in more detail and talks about future ultrasonic system development at Sandia.
