33) What is the transit time of 30) above in microseconds. use 5.94 mm/μsec
as the material velocity.
a) 16.86 μsecs
b) 33.72 μsecs
c) 1.686 μsecs
d) 3.372 μsecs
34) What is the TOFD receiver probe set up to receive
a) mode converted diffraction waves
b) specular reflected longitudinal waves
c) creeping waves
d) longitudinal tip diffraction waves
e) All of the above
35) What probe configuration does a TOFD inspection use
a) tandem
b) dual crystal probes
c) two probe on one side of the weld
d) pitch-and-catch
36) Would a larger crack give with TOFD
a) a larger amplitude signal
b) a smaller amplitude signal
c) no change in amplitude
37) What probe angle is most efficient for tip diffraction
a) 20 degrees
b) 38 degrees
c) 45 degrees
d) 60 degrees
38) What sort of wave is the lateral wave in a flat plate
a) creeping
b) shear
c) compression
d) plate
39) Does the lateral wave
a) follow the surface contour
b) mode converts and travels as a shear wave
c) take a path which takes the minimum time
40) Why is the collection of a B- or D- scan much better than looking at
individual A-scans for a TOFD inspection
a) enables weak signals to be recognized
b) gives less attenuation of the sound
c) gives more efficient tip diffraction
