    Ultrasonic Testing
    Sensitivity
    Defect sizing
    Scanning procedures

    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    Name

    Sensitivity
    The ability of an ultrasonic system to
    find the smallest specified defect at the
    maximum testing range
    Depends upon
    Probe and flaw detector combination
    Material properties
    Probe frequency
    Signal to noise ratio
    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    Name

    Methods of Setting Sensitivity

    Smallest defect at maximum test range


    Back wall echo
    Disc equivalent
    Grass levels
    Notches
    Side Drilled Holes, DAC Curves

    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    Name

    Artificial / actual defect

    Example: The defect echo is set


    to FSH (Full Screen Height)

    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    Name

    Sizing Methods
    6 dB Drop
    For sizing large planar reflectors only
    Signal / echo reduced to half the height
    Example:
    100% to 50%
    80% to 40%
    70% to 35%
    20% to 10%

    Centre of probe marked representing the edge


    of defect.

    Name

    6 dB Drop
    Defect

    BWE

    The back wall echo reduced as some part


    of the beam now striking the defect

    Plan View
    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    The echo of the defect has NOT yet


    maximise as the whole beam Not yet
    striking the defect
    Name

    6 dB Drop
    Defect

    Now the whole beam is on the defect


    Back wall echo is now may be
    reduced or disappeared

    Plan View

    Name

    6 dB Drop
    Defect

    BWE

    The probe is moved back until the echo


    is reduced by half of its original height
    At this point the probe centre beam is
    directly on the edge of the defect
    Plan View
    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    The probe is then removed and the


    centre is marked, and repeat to size the
    whole defect
    Name

    Sizing Method
    Maximum Amplitude Technique
    For sizing multifaceted defect eg. crack
    Not very accurate
    Small probe movement

    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    Name

    Maximum Amplitude

    Multifaceted defect : crack

    The whole probe beam is on the on the


    defect
    At this point, multipoint of the defect
    reflect the sound to the probe
    The echo (signal) show as a few peaks

    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    Name

    Maximum Amplitude

    Multifaceted defect : crack


    The probe is moved out of the
    defect, the signal disappeared
    If the edge of the beam strike
    the edge of the defect, a very
    small echo appears
    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    If the probe is moved into the defect,


    the signals height increase
    One of the peak maximised
    At this point the MAIN BEAM is
    directly at the edge of the defect

    Name

    Maximum Amplitude
    Remember: The peak which maximised does
    not have to be the tallest or the first one
    Length

    The probe is to be moved to the other


    end of the defect
    The signals will flactuate as the beam hits
    the different faces of the defects
    The probe is moved back into the defect
    and to observe a peak of the signal
    maximises
    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    Mark the point under


    the centre of the probe
    which indicates the
    edge of the defect
    The length of the defect is
    measured

    Name

    Equalization Technique
    The equalization technique can ONLY be used
    Defect
    BWE
    if the defect is halfway the thickness

    At this point the whole beam is on


    the back wall
    At this point the whole beam is
    on the defect
    At the edge of the defect, half of
    the beam is on the defect, and
    another half is on the back wall
    Copyright 2004 WI Ltd

    The BWE is at it maximum


    The Defect echo is at it
    maximum
    The defect echo is at equal
    height as the back wall
    The point is marked as the edge of defect
    Name

    20 dB Drop
    20 dB Beam profile

    Defect

    BWE

    10%

    When the main beam is on the defect the defect signal is at it maximum
    If the probe is moved and the signal is observed until it is reduced to
    10% (20dB Drop), the edge of the beam is on the edge of the defect
    Repeat the above at the other side of the defect
    Using the pre-constructed Beam profile and a plotting card, the
    defect maybe sized
