What is Ultrasonic?
Very High Frequency sound – above 20 KHz
20,000 cps
Sonic / Audible
Ultrasonic

Ultrasonic Testing
0.5MHz ‐ 50MHz
Ultrasonic : Sound with frequency above 20 KHz
• Frequency : Number of cycles per
second
20 KHz = 20 000 Hz

highest sensitivity?
• 1 MHz
• 2 MHz
• 5 MHz

Wavelength and frequency
• The higher the frequency the smaller the wavelength
• The smaller the wavelength the higher the sensitivity
• Sen
Sensitivity : The smallest detectable
flaw by the system or
technique
• In UT the smallest detectable flaw is ½ (half the
wavelength)
• Dead Zone
• Near Zone or Fresnel Zone
• Far Zone or Fraunhofer Zone
