EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 5577 testing. This standard defines terms used in ultrasonic nondestructive testing and provides a common basis for standards and general use. This standard does not cover terms used in phased array ultrasound testing.

For the purposes of this standard, the terms and definitions given in this paragraph for sound, test equipment and ultrasonic testing apply.

Non-destructive inspection is a type of inspection that is performed without damaging the integrity of the material or part to be examined. The validity of this inspection is based on the results of the destructive inspections that have been made before.

Non-destructive testing methods are used to detect invisible discontinuities in materials or open discontinuities on the material surface. Apart from detecting errors and defects, it is used to measure the amount of another material in a closed material, to measure the paint thickness on metal surfaces, to determine the status of mounted parts, and in radar systems.

In Ultrasonic Inspection and Industrial Radiography, tests are carried out by sending high-energy rays with very small wavelengths such as ultrasonic sound waves, X or gamma rays to the area to be examined in general.
