Abstract

A method for non-destructive testing of walls of components, at least one ultrasonic transducer () which is fixed to a surface of the wall is used to emit horizontally polarized transverse waves () in a lateral propagation direction and compression waves or vertically polarized transverse waves () in a radial propagation direction. The at least one ultrasonic transducer () and/or at least one further ultrasonic transducer arranged at a known distance from the at least one ultrasonic transducer () on the respective wall of the component () is/are used to detect horizontally polarized transverse waves () reflected by defects and compression waves or vertically polarized transverse waves () after or while running the non-destructive testing of the wall in order to determine the respective wall thickness.
