Porosity measurement in CFRP

Single point, amplitude distributions and area measurements via Matrix Array Ultrasonic Testing (MAUT) software tools can provide users numerous options and versatility to characterise and quantify porosity. These measurement tools can specifically be beneficial in Live Mode when capturing data for better visualisation and will lead to a more accurate decision-making. Although the application examples highlighted in this presentation are mainly focused on porosity measurements, such ultrasonic workflow can be fine-tuned and adopted for many other inspection tasks as a quantitative test method. This case study is carried out by utilising the MAUT technology as a new and pioneer technique for porosity evaluation.
