APPLICATIONS 
 
Bond/Debond/Kissing Debond Evaluations 
UltraSpec™ is the emerging bond tester of choice for a wide variety of markets. For specific applications, the spectrum can be optimized to discriminate varying degrees of bond. 
Early Corrosion Detection 
UltraSpec™ has the capability to not only evaluate the thickness, but also evaluate the hidden surface condition.  The spectrum can be optimized to show the level of sensitivity that is important to the user. The resonance behavior provides a very accurate thickness measurement, and the attenuation as a function of frequency correlates to surface condition. 
Material Characterization: Microcracking  
UltraSpec™ can be very sensitive to small changes within a material. When dealing with quality issues before, during, and after manufacture, UltraSpec™ uses attenuation as a function of frequency to compare signatures of varying materials to their baselines.
Material Characterization: Porosity 
UltraSpec™ data has proven to show a direct correlation to pore size in some materials. UltraSpec™ uses attenuation as a function of frequency and the cut-off frequency to quantify porosity within a material.
Multiple-Layer Material Evaluation 
The spectrum can be optimized to show the level of sensitivity that is important to the user. The resonance behaviors provide either the velocity or the thickness of each layer.
