Search unit with contoured contact wedge or curve shoe may be used to aid the coupling with the part surface. 5.2.2 Frequency and size of the search unit shall be chosen according to the path of travel. Smaller size 10mm diameter straight beam search unit for beam path 100mm and &x9mm angle beam search Unit for 200mm shall be used. High frequency 2 to 4 MHz shall be suitable for shorter beam path and for longer beam path, larger size and high frequency search unit shall be used for better penetration 5.2.3 Fordetection of discontinuities, which are parallel to the part surface shall be best detected by longitudinal wave and inclined discontinuities, which are parallel to the part surface shall be best detected by longitudinal wave and inclined discontinuities can be detected by using transverse wave. Propagation of transverse wave shall be selected in such a way that the fusion zone should be nearly perpendicular to the propagated angle beam. Selection of angle beam search unit shall follow the thumb rule 90-bevel angle and 90-thickness or as per the recommendation in specified 5.3 Couplant A suitable couplant, such as SAE 30 MOTOR oil or similar commercial ultrasonic couplant, shall be used to couple the search unit to the test surface. Other couplant may also be used but should not be detrimental to the material being examined.
