The indication on the instrument display that represents the far boundary of the material being tested
is called:
the back surface reflection.
In immersion testing, the position of the transducer is often varied by a manipulator to transmit
sound into the test part at various angles to the front surface. Such a procedure is referred to as:
angulation.
The technical name for the cable that connects the ultrasonic instrument to the transducer is:
conduit.
The process of standardizing an instrument or device by using a reference standard is called:
calibration.
Another name for a compressional wave is:
longitudinal wave
Another name for Rayleigh waves is:
surface waves
A material used between the face of a transducer and the test surface to permit or improve the
transmission of ultrasonic vibrations from the transducer to the material being tested is called:
couplant
The piezoelectric material in a transducer that vibrates to produce ultrasonic waves is called a:
crystal
Ultrasonic testing of material where the probe is in direct contact with the material being tested may
be:
straight beam testing
An advantage of using lithium sulfate in transducers is that it:
