    Ultrasonic testing can be used to check the bonding of Babbitt metal bearing liners to steel or bronze bearing shells and to measure liner thickness. There are three procedures: (1) testing bonding from the outer surface using a contact transducer, (2) testing bonding from the inner surface using a delay line transducer, and (3) measuring thickness between the shell/liner boundary and inner diameter reflections. Proper bonding and thickness are important for bearing performance.
