When the switch is closed, and you apply the exact amount
of power to get the same current that resulted when you squeezed
the crystal, the crystal should deform by the same amount!!

• Sensitivity
• Defect sizing
• Scanning procedures
SENSITIVITY
• The ability of an ultrasonic system to find the
smallest specified defect at the maximum testing
range.
SENSITIVITY
• Depends upon
• Probe and flaw detector combination
• Material properties
• Probe frequency
• Signal to noise ratio
METHODS OF SETTING SENSITIVITY
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%

- Transducers
- Calibration Standards
TRANSDUCERS
•Transducers are manufactured in a variety of forms, shapes
and sizes for varying applications.
•Transducers are categorized in a number of ways which
include:
- Contact or immersion
- Single or dual element
- Normal or angle beam
•In selecting a transducer for a given application, it is
important to choose the
desired frequency,
bandwidth, size, and in some cases focusing
which optimizes the inspection capabilities.
TRANSDUCERS
INSTRUMENTATION
• Ultrasonic equipment is usually purchased to satisfy
specific inspection needs, some users may purchase
general purpose equipment to fulfill a number of
inspection applications.
