Ultrasoinc Testing

The document discusses ultrasonic testing which uses high frequency sound waves to identify internal discontinuities in products. It describes how ultrasonic testing works by using a pulser to generate sound waves through a transducer into the material being tested, and any reflections from flaws are detected by the transducer and displayed. It also discusses the fundamentals of how ultrasonic waves propagate in materials and their properties.

Ultrasonic testing

Non-Destructive Testing

Introduction
In Ultrasonic testing, High frequency sound energy is used to identify the
internal discontinuities of products. Besides its wide use in engineering applications
( such as flaw detection / evaluation, measurements, material characterization ) and
medical field ( sonography and therapeutic ultrasound ) .
The range of high frequency sound 0.5Mhz to 20Mhz.
Basically, The Ultrasonic waves are produced by vibration of the particles in a
solid, liquid and gas

Physical principals and Fundamentals of Ultrasonic


Basic principle of ultrasonic testing is Pulse Echo or Acoustic Impedance
Different
. A typical Pulse Echo UT system consist of several functional system such as
Pulser / Receiver, Transducer and display device.
A pulser and receiver is a electronic device that can produce high voltage
electric pulses. Driven by the pulser the transducer generates high frequency
ultrasonic energy.
The sound energy introduced and propagates through the materials in the
form of waves. . When there is a discontinuity (such as a crack) in the wave path,
part of the energy will be reflected back from the flaw surface. The reflected wave
signal is transformed into an electrical signal by the transducer and is displayed on a
screen.
Knowing the velocity of the waves, travel time can be directly related to the
distance that the signal traveled. From the signal, information about the
reflector location, size, orientation and other features can sometimes be
gained.
Fundamentals of Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic Waves can propagate
in solid, liquid and gas but not in
vacuum. Sound can travel in the form of
beam similar to that of light and follows
many of the physical rules of light.
Ultrasonic beam can be reflected,
refracted, scattered or diffracted.
The time taken to complete one cycle is known as the time period T of the
vibration, where T = 1/f.
