Why Seattle generates UT demand
Puget Sound's inspection market is built around aerospace manufacturing and its supplier web, the shipyards and ferry fleet on the Sound, and hydro generation east of the Cascades supported from the metro.
Aerospace UT covers composite structures and bond lines as well as metal — impact damage mapping on skins, lamination checks on machined billets, and thickness on corrosion-suspect areas.
Marine work is thickness gauging at scale — hull plating diminution against class allowables, tank internals, and shaft and rudder stock examination during docking.
Fabrication shops use UT for plate lamination checks before cutting and shear-wave examination of production welds, keeping repair rates visible while the job is still on the floor.
Power plant UT ranges from boiler tube thickness campaigns to turbine rotor bore and blade root examination, where phased array brings coverage a single-angle probe cannot.
What typically gets examined
In practice that means UT work across airframe structures and composite assemblies, ferry and naval steel, supplier-tier machined and welded parts, and hydro turbine components — with scope set by the damage mechanisms each asset actually runs, not by a standard menu.
Certification and acceptance in Seattle
Aerospace primes enforce NAS 410 / EN 4179 qualification under Nadcap-accredited processes; marine work follows class society and USCG requirements — two demanding regimes that rarely accept each other's paperwork.
Examinations themselves are performed to ASME Section V Articles 4 and 5, ISO 17640 and ISO 16810, with thickness data feeding API 510, 570 and 653 remaining-life calculation. The evidence chain — technician certification current on the day, instrument and reference block calibration, and the procedure revision in force — travels with every report, because that bundle is what an audit actually checks.
Working with Atlantis in Seattle
Atlantis delivers ultrasonic testing through inspection teams mobilised to site, working under Atlantis procedures with ASNT Level III oversight — we are straightforward that this is a mobilised model rather than a walk-in local office, because for planned inspection work that is usually the better arrangement anyway: the crew, procedures and equipment arrive matched to your scope. Read the UT service overview, see how results are recorded and retrieved, or tell us about the Seattle scope and we will respond with an honest view on mobilisation.
Work in Seattle is delivered under the same procedures and Level III oversight described on our national ultrasonic testing page, which covers thickness surveys, weld examination, corrosion mapping and phased array performed to a qualified procedure.
