Ultrasonic testing techniques have some disadvantages: they require more extensive training than other methods, are more expensive, have difficulties inspecting thin materials, can face complications due to part geometry, and need a smooth surface to couple the transducer as well as knowledge of part velocity and a reference for calibration.

More expensive than other methods Difficult to use on thin materials Part Geometry can cause complications Needs relatively smooth surface to couple transducer Must know velocity of part and have a reference to calibrate against for equipment set-up
More expensive than other methods. Difficult to use on thin materials. Part Geometry can cause complications. Needs relatively smooth surface to couple transducer.
