Aerospace Ultrasonic NDT Inspection

The aerospace sector requires NDT measurements of the highest precision: aeronautical materials (light aluminium alloys, titanium, special steels and CFRP composites) impose tight requirements for accuracy and repeatability. Ultrasonic thickness measurement is a fundamental technique for quality control in production and for continued-airworthiness inspections.

In this section we bring together articles and application cases on ultrasonic measurement in aerospace, focusing on the Dakota PMX series precision gauges.
Dakota instruments for aerospace

Dakota PMX2-DL / PMX3-DL — universal precision gauges, the standard for aeronautical applications.
Dakota PCX8-DL — PTG precision gauge for thin thicknesses.
Dakota PZX1-DL — precision gauge for very thin substrates.
