Motorsport and Racing Ultrasonic NDT

Motorsport and professional racing push materials to their limits: engine cylinders, crankcases, chassis and powertrain components are machined to the tightest tolerances to cut weight and maximise performance. Ultrasonic measurement of cylinder walls and critical components is essential to guarantee structural integrity even after precision machining.

In this section we bring together technical guides on the use of Dakota instruments in motorsport, in particular the R9 and RX8-DL sonic testers developed specifically for racing teams.
