Basics of Ultrasonic Testing and Sizing

After the historic introduction to ultrasonic testing (https://youtu.be/WzcbFUOlFwU), this video continues the excursion to the world of UT by showing some of the basics of pulse-echo ultrasonic material testing and the basic sizing methods. In the upcoming videos, this excursion will be continued and will finally become one of the showcases for NDE 4.0.
