This paper deals with one of these technique, namely with ultrasound testing and influence of surface finishing on ultrasound velocity measured by means of device the Arborsonic Decay Detector. Surface finishing (Primalex - thick synthetic film of the surface finishing, Luxol - Extra - thin synthetic film of the surface finishing and Impranal Profi SL - thick acryl film the surface finishing) were selected and tested in this research. The transmittion time was measured and velocity was converted from it. This was compared before and after application of surface finishing.
