Question: 1.Can piezoelectric transducers be used to perform test at single digit Kelvin Temperatures (0 deg.

C = 273 degree K) Answer: Yes they can be used. However, their various coefficients decrease significantly and can be compensated by use of a higher drive voltage.

Question:

2.Air cannot be used as an ultrasonic couplant. a) True b) False Answer: b) is correct. Explication: Physically, air has to be considered an ultrasonic couplant, since it does transmit ultrasound, in contrast to the vacuum, where absolutely no sound propagation occurs. However, special transducers and instrumentation have to be used in order to compensate for the high reflection losses between transducer and test part. Question: 3.Ultrasonic NDT at elevated temperatures is a) only possible when the probe is cooled down to less than 60 C with water or air b) not possible c) possible with special probes up to 800 C surface temperature Answer: c) is correct. NDT-Non Destructive Testing.
1. What kinds of signals are normally used to transmit process signals? a) pneumatic and radio b) pneumatic and electronic c) electronic and radio d) electronic and manual Ans:b Hydraulic signal transmission is seldom used because: a) a suitable liquid is expensive b) of leakage problems c) the properties of the liquid change with ambient conditions d) the equipment is expensive Ans:b

The device that includes a transducer and produces an amplified, standardized instrument signal is called the: a) filter b) c) d) transmitter zero-order-hold amplifier

Ans:b.

Voltage signals use to transmit process measurements are usually in the range: a) b) c) d) 1 0 1 0 to to to to 10 volts 5 volts 5 volts 10 volts

Ans:c
What is the gain of a P to I convertor? a) 2 b) 4/3 c) d) 3/4 1/2

The P stands for pressure which is in the range 3-15 psi while the I stands for current which is in the range 4-20mA.
