Abstract
According to one implementation, an ultrasonic test system includes at least one ultrasonic transducer, at least one ultrasonic sensor and a damage detection part composed of at least circuitry. The at least one ultrasonic transducer transmits an ultrasonic wave toward at least one test region. The at least one ultrasonic sensor detects the ultrasonic wave which has passed through the at least one test region. The damage detection part is configured to detect whether there is a damage in the at least one test region, based on a difference between a waveform corresponding to the ultrasonic wave detected by the at least one ultrasonic sensor and a reference waveform. The at least one ultrasonic transducer and the at least one ultrasonic sensor are disposed at positions which apart from each other with an interval longer than 300 mm.
