Which type of calibration block closely resembles the miniature angle-
1 beam block and is used in a similar way?
An IIW block
 
A DSC block
A rompus block
A shear wave calibration block

As frequency increases, sound tends to:

2 Become more compressed
  Scatter more from large or course grain structure
Convert to a different wave mode
Become more penetrating

The purpose of the backing material in a transducer is to:

3 Direct the sound out of the transducer
Provide impedance matching between the active element and the test
 
component
Control the ringing of the active element
None of the above

The a large acoustic impedance mismatch at an interface will result in:

4 A high amount of transmitted sound energy
  A small degree of refraction
A large critical angle
A high amount of reflected sound energy

What Greek letter is used to represent wavelength?

5 l
  o
g
None of the above

In angle-beam testing, when the geometry of the part is relatively

6 uncomplicated and the orientation of a flaw is well known, the length of a
crack can be determined by a technique known as:
  Tip diffraction
Immersion
Surface mode diffraction
Contact testing
 Which type of transducer will have better resolution?
7 A slightly damped transducer
  A small size and low frequency transducer
A highly damped transducer
All of the above

The sound energy or ultrasonic beam is more uniform in the:

8 Far field zone
  Near field zone
Interface between the transducer and plastic wedge
Band along the central axis

Couplant displaces the__________ and makes it possible to get more

9 sound energy into the test specimen.
Surface rust
 
Surface blemishes
Sound energy
Air

DAC stands for:

10 Distance Application Code
  Direct Amplitude Code
Distance Amplitude Correction
Divergence Application Couplant

The act of evaluating and adjusting the precision and accuracy of the
11 measurement equipment is called:
Standardization
 
Calibration
Accuracy
Tuning

Which type of transducer can be used to scan wide areas when high
12 sensitivity is not required?
Mosaic transducer
 
Single crystal transducer of small diameter
Composite transducer
Paint brush transducer

  Contact transducers often incorporate a:

13 Composite frequency adjustment
Vibration suppressor
 Wear plate
Phase adjustment sensor

The ability to locate discontinuities that are close together within the
14 material is called:
Resolution
 
Sensitivity
Effectiveness
Phase delay

Which material properties affect the speed of sound within a material?

15 Density and specific gravity
  Atomic mass and density
Density and elastic properties
Acoustic impedance and atomic mass

In the transverse or shear wave, the particles:

16 Move in an elliptical pattern
  Oscillate at a right angle to the direction of wave propagation
Oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation
Do not actually move

The terms used to describe a technique�s ability to locate flaws are:

17 Sensitivity and penetration
  Space and time
Sensitivity and resolution
Frequency and size

Which of the following ultrasonic techniques require the probe to be held

18 firmly against component?
Contact inspection
 
Weld inspection
Angle beam inspection
All of the above

When a single element transducer is operating in the pulse echo mode,

19 the element:
Can not start receiving reflected signals until the element has stopped
  ringing from its transmit function
Needs to have a high pulse rate
Should be used in the dual mode
Can only be made with lithium sulfate
   Which type of calibration block is used to determine the resolution of
20 angle beam transducers per requirements of AWS and AASHTO?
An IIW block
A DSC block
A rompus block
An RC block
