We have uploaded an introduction to ultrasonic testing technology, which is one of the non-destructive testing methods, part 2 (intermediate level).

We have newly established an introductory page on ultrasonic testing technology, which is one of the non-destructive testing methods. This page is designed to be easy to understand, using manga to explain the concepts for those who are just starting with ultrasonic testing, as well as for students and those looking to deepen their knowledge. We hope you find it useful. Additionally, for those who are interested, a more detailed explanatory booklet is available in PDF format. If you would like to receive it, please apply through the inquiry section.
