In order to detect defects larger or equal to 0.5 mm, we use 10 MHz probes.

If the design requirement

was such that we have to worry only about defects which are 1 mm or larger, the frequency of selected
ultrasonic probe should be
A. 1 MHz
B. 2.5 MHz
C. 5 MHz
D. 10 MHz
Ans: C

In the shear wave type of ultrasonic waves, the particles:

A. Move in an elliptical pattern
B. Oscillate at a right angle to the direction of wave propagation

C. Oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation

D. Do not actually move

Ans: B

Which type of screen presentation displays the amount of received ultrasonic energy as a function of
time?

A. A-scan

B. B-scan

C. C-scan

D. All of above
Ans: A

Which of the following is not a good practice when penetrant testing?

A. Applying emulsifier by dipping the part in emulsifier

B. Appling developer by spraying the part with developer
C. Removal of water-washable penetrant with a water spray
D. Applying emulsifier with a brush

Ans: D

The emulsifier is used:

A. To wash the penetrant out of discontinuities
B. As a aid in washing off the surface of parts when using either the water or oil soluble penetrants
C. To emulsify the oil-soluble penetrant, thereby making it water washable
D. To preclean parts before applying penetrant

Ans: C
Threshold voltage is associated with which of the following NDT technique
A. Penetrant testing
B. Ultrasonic testing
C. Acoustic emission testing
D. Both B and C
Ans: C

If you have to test a thin metallic sheet ultrasonically, would you opt for
A. Through transmission ultrasonic testing
B. Pulse eco method
C. Any of the above two
D. None of these
Ans: A

On a plate, attenuation of ultrasonic energy is 2.8 dB/mm at point A and is 3.6 dB/mm at point B. it
means
A. Smaller Size of defect at point A
B. Smaller Size of defect at point B
C. Percentage defect not related to attenuation
D. None of these

Ans: D
