Fixed-amplitude level technique

The technique determines the lateral dimensions of a discontinuity over which the echo is equal to or f
lz
greater than the evaluation level. a
xEo
L
To make a measurement, the beam is scanned over the discontinuities, and the probe position and beam o
path range, at which the echo has fallen to the evaluation level, are noted fsee Figure B.1). E
C
(E

The lateral dimension, 1, is then determined by the distance between the positions 1 and 2.
