Modern ultrasonic flaw detectors, such as the EPOCH series, are small, portable, microprocessor-based instruments that can be used in the shop or out in the field. They generate and display an ultrasonic waveform, which is interpreted by a trained operator, often with the assistance of analysis software, to locate and classify flaws in test pieces. They will typically include an ultrasonic pulser/receiver, signal capture and analysis hardware and software, a waveform display, and a data logging module. While some analog-based flaw detectors are still produced, most modern instruments use digital signal processing for increased stability and precision.
The pulser/receiver section is the flaw detector's ultrasonic front end. It generates an excitation pulse to drive the transducer, as well as amplification and filtering for the echoes that return. To optimize transducer performance, pulse amplitude, shape, and damping can be controlled, and receiver gain and bandwidth can be adjusted to optimize signal-to-noise ratios.
Modern flaw detectors typically digitally capture a waveform before performing various measurement and analysis functions on it. To synchronies transducer pulses and provides distance calibration, a clock or timer will be used. Signal processing can be as simple as creating a waveform display that plots signal amplitude versus time on a calibrated scale, or as complex as sophisticated digital processing algorithms that include distance/amplitude correction and trigonometric calculations for angled sound paths.
Alarm gates are frequently used to monitor signal levels at specific points in the wave train in order to flag echoes caused by flaws. A CRT, liquid crystal, or electroluminescent display could be used. Typically, the screen will be calibrated in depth or distance units. Multicolor displays can be used to aid in interpretation.

The market for ultrasonic flaw detectors is expected to expand rapidly, owing primarily to significant infrastructure advancements and automation in manufacturing processes in countries such as India and China.
The development of portable phased array ultrasonic testing equipment, the need for a reliable non-destructive testing technique for fiberglass and carbon fiber composites in manufacturing, growth in the ultrasonic testing services market, and government mandates are the factors driving the growth of the ultrasonic flaw detectors market.
Internal data loggers, which can be used to record full waveform and setup information associated with each test such as echo amplitude, depth or distance readings, or the presence or absence of alarm conditions, make ultrasonic flaw detectors more versatile, resulting in a high demand for ultrasonic flaw detectors during the forecast period.
Ultrasonic flaw detectors has the advantages of having a large detection thickness, high sensitivity, fast speed, low cost, being harmless to the human body, and being able to locate and quantify defects. However, ultrasonic flaw detectors has limitations due to its nonintuitive display of defects, difficulty in flaw detection technology, susceptibility to subjective and objective factors, and inconvenient preservation of flaw detection results. Hence, these factors are expected to stymie the growth of the ubiquitous ultrasonic flaw detector market.
