NDE/NDT for Materials Science


Verasonics' Vantage platform provides researchers with the most advanced ultrasonic research capabilities for materials science.

With its high performance, programmable phased array and multi-channel ultrasound systems, the Vantage platform is ideal for academic and industrial NDE/NDT research and development.

In addition to its advantages in phased array ultrasound, such as extremely fast FMC/TFM and plane wave imaging, the Vantage system can be used to implement a wide variety of techniques for applications such as guided wave tomography, acoustic trapping, and acoustic emission monitoring.

The Vantage platform is the perfect tool for materials scientists who are looking to develop and improve NDE/NDT methods for inspecting and evaluating materials.
