ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED
A+
Far boundary indication - (answers)The indication on the instrument display that
represents the far boundary of the material being tested.
Immersion testing - (answers)The position of the transducer is often varied to
transmit sound into the test part at various angles to the front surface.
Coaxial cable - (answers)The cable that connects the ultrasonic instrument to the
transducer is specially designed so that one conductor is centered inside another.
Calibration - (answers)The process of comparing an instrument or device with a
standard.
Compressional wave - (answers)Another name for a longitudinal wave.
Rayleigh wave - (answers)Another name for surface waves.
Couplant - (answers)A material used between the face of a transducer and the
test surface to permit or improve the transmission of ultrasonic vibrations.
, 2
Piezoelectric material - (answers)The material in a transducer that vibrates to
produce ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasonic testing - (answers)Testing of material where the transducer is in direct
contact with the material being tested.
Lithium sulfate - (answers)An advantage of using lithium sulfate in transducers is
that it is one of the most efficient generators of ultrasonic energy.
Transducer frequency - (answers)The transducer that contains the thinnest
piezoelectric crystal is a 25 MHz transducer.
Beam divergence - (answers)The amount of beam divergence from a crystal is
primarily dependent on the frequency and crystal size.
Refraction - (answers)When an ultrasonic beam passes through the interface
between two dissimilar materials at an angle, a new angle of sound travel takes
place in the second material.
