Questionnaire and Answer Sheet UT (ULTRASONIC TESTING)
超声检验
1. What is the first step in a UT examination? 超声检验的第一步是什么？

Read and understand the procedure, calibration of test unit, check the test surface condition.

2. Why is surface condition critical?
The longitudinal or transverse waves, produced by the test probe have to penetrate into the material, possibly without any loss of wave energy and to avoid UT-echoes on the screen, caused by a rough surface, which can result in miss-interpretation of the echoes. To eliminate those and to support a proper wave penetration into the material, in any case, it must be applied a kind of Gel or alternative medium with a similar viscosity, onto the test surface prior commencement of scanning the surface with the test probe.
Uneven surface can impede sound transfer and create non-relevant indications.

3. What is the most common method to check for cracks in a weld using UT?

Shear wave (angle beam testing) technique

4. Higher frequency transducers are generally better suited for: a) castings b) forgings c) neither
b) Forgings

5. Define sensitivity
To calibrate the UT-Test Unit in conjunction with the calibration / reference block, i.e. “K1” or “K2”, you have Unit amplification for example of 12dB, this is the calibration sensitivity. To have a better resolution for detection of irregularities, you put on top another 3dB for transfer correction and another 3dB for compensation of wave pressure reduction occurred by the steel micro structure. This increase of 6dB means that the test or scanning sensitivity is doubled. Upon detection of a defect, you have to reduce the 6dB correction for further evaluation acc. to the negotiated acceptance criteria.
The ability of ultrasonic test system to locate flaws of a know size specified in the referencing code.

6. Define resolution
The resolution depends on correct choice of test unit incl. choice of test transducer, proper calibration incl. all above mentioned correction compensations, test surface condition, depth -type – size -characteristic of defects.
Resolution is the ablitity of an ultrasonic system to differentiate between two reflectors.

Level 2 was required.
