ULTRASONIC PRINCIPLES
In ultrasonic testing we use something called Ultrasonic Vibrations. We
must know two facts about a vibration.
1. A vibration is a back and forth movement.
2. A vibration is energy in motion
A Depression of a surface from its normal position is called a
displacement.
Example:
Electrical energy to mechanical or mechanical
to electrical.
A speaker in Radio converts electrical energy
to a back and forth mechanical movement.
View A below illustrates the Piezoelectric
Effect. Electrical energy is applied through
two wires connected to a crystal, causing the
crystal to vibrate.
A wavelength is considered to be
the distance between two
successive displacements.

Distance/Amplitude control
In ultrasonic testing the amplitude of the pip
from a discontinuity of a given size decreases
as the depth increases. To compensate for this
Attenuation, an electronic control has been
added to many ultrasonic units.
Some of the common names for this control
are:
DAC Distance amplitude correction
TCG Time corrected gain
STC Sensitivity time control
Longitudinal (compression)
Shear (transverse)
Surface (Rayleigh)
Plate (Lamb)
