B & C Scanning
B-scan : B-Scan is defined as two-dimensional
graphical presentation, in rectangular coordinates, in
which the travel time of an ultrasonic pulse is
represented as a displacement along one axis, and
the probe movement is represented as a
displacement along the other axis. In the B-Scan
presentation the signals are represented as event
marks. B-Scan may be obtained through the
processing of the signals received while scanning
over the section to be displayed with probe fitted into
one-axis coordinate encoder interfaced to the
instrument.
B & C Scanning
C-Scan : C-Scan represents the distribution of some
informative parameter over the top surface of the
area of interest in the form of the projection map. It's
obvious that the B-Scan record representing the
sectional views of the object under test may be
provided simultaneously with C-Scan

Main uses of UT
Used to locate surface and subsurface defects in
many materials including metals, plastics, and wood.
Ultrasonic inspection is also used to measure the
thickness of materials and otherwise characterize
properties of material based on sound velocity and
attenuation measurements.
Advantages of UT
Disadvantages of UT
Skill and training is more extensive than with some other methods.
Cast iron and other coarse grained materials are difficult to inspect due
to low sound transmission and high signal noise.
