Nondestructive testing of Composite materials has evolved over the years from using traditional ultrasonic flaw detectors and transducers to updated micro processed semi-automated instruments that have powerful A, B and C scan capability. The manual inspection of Composite laminates and Bonded structures still have detection concerns compared to fully automated scanning systems and this includes reliability, consistency, interpretation and Human Factors. This presentation will introduce new Manual ultrasonic scanning systems that will aid in scanning accuracy, better interpretation of scanned data and the ability to store A, B and c-scan data. We will also discuss manual scanning sensors for various applications and give an overview of NDT of composites including defects in composites, general ultrasonic detection methods.
