Ultrasonic Sciences Ltd

From our original formation in 1987, USL has grown to become the UK's only manufacturer of ultrasonic testing systems and instruments, in the process becoming one of the world's major suppliers to industry of automated and semi-automated systems.

Since 2000 our inspection systems have increased in size and often in complexity to meet the demands of our customers. We now have users in every continent and large machines have been installed in countries such as China and Japan. We continue to develop new electronics , mostly based on the original concept of PC expansion boards. The current range of ultrasonic boards matches or exceed the performance of comparable equipment from any other supplier, whether PC based or more traditional. In addition it has such versatility that it is applied in uses from high resolution inspection of titanium fan blade materials, through testing of highly attenuating aerospace composites, to in-line go/no-go inspection of tubes.

We have supplied our electronics and software on an OEM basis to system integrators. Increasingly testing systems manufactured by competitor companies are being upgraded by USL to improve their capability and reliability.
