Ultrasonic Testing (General Question 1)

1. What advantages does a twin crystal probe have over a single crystal probe ? Good
Near Surface resolution
2. What a smallest detectable defect ? Equal to the probes wavelength
3. How many dBs are required to change from 25% to 80% full screen height ? 10dB
4. The pulse width is controlled by ? Damping
5. Compensation for natural reductions on signal height caused by variations in beam path
? DAC
6. Calculate the 2nd critical angle in aluminium where V1 = 2700m/s V2 = 3130m/s ? 59.6
7. Which probe characteristics are required for testing large castings with coarse grains ?
low frequency and large diameter
8. What controls velocity ? density and elasticity
9. When does refraction occur ? When ultrasound passes from 1 medium to another
of different velocities
10. If the frequency increases the beam divergence will ? Decreases
11. If the particles vibrate parallel to the wave propagation, the wave mode is ? longitudinal
compressional
12. Piezo electric transducers can ? convert electrical to mechanical energy or vice versa
13. If using two angle probes on opposite surfaces
