The UPV test relies on direct arrival of compressional waves. Sources and receivers used in the tests have resonant frequencies ranging from 50 to 150 kHz. The higher resonant frequency receivers are typically used with thinner structural members for higher resolution and smaller anomaly identification. In the basic UPV test, the first arrival times of the ultrasonic energy are registered by a V-meter. Olson Engineering records the full waveform with a digital oscilloscope card for troubleshooting of material condition.
