Q

Placement of IQI what side?

A

IQIs are placed on the source side ,

If inaccessibility prevents hand-placing the IQI on the source side, it can be placed on the film side in
contact with the part being examined. If this is done, a lead letter ‘F’ must be placed adjacent to or on the IQI to show it is on the film side.

35
Q

Thickness-measurement instruments are

divided into three groups:

A

one approximately the maximum thickness that the thickness meter will be measuring and the other the
minimum thickness.

38
Q

What is Direct thickness readout.?

A

modified versions of the pulse-echo instrument. The elapsed time between the initial pulse and the first echo or between multiple echoes is converted into a meter or digital readout.

39
Q

What is Flaw detectors with an A-scan

numeric readout

A

are a combination pulse ultrasound flaw detection instrument with an A-scan display and additional circuitry that provides digital thickness information. The material thickness can be electronically
measured and presented on a digital readout.

40
Q

What is Flaw detectors with an A-scan

display readout?

A

Thickness determinations are made by reading the distance between the zero-corrected initial
pulse and first-returned echo (back reflection), or between multiple-back reflection echoes, on a standardized base line of the A-scan display.

41
Q

What kind of calibration for MT?

  1. frequency - once/year (if not used more than one year needs calibration prior to use)
  2. Procedure - once/year (comparative reading shall be taken for at least 3 different current output levels)
  3. tolerance - not deviate more than +/- of full scale
42
Q

43
Q

A

magnetizing current remains on while the examination
medium is being applied and excess of the examination medium is removed. Remove the excess particles with a light air stream from a bulb,
syringe or air hose

44
Q

magnetizing current will be turned on after applying
the particles. Wet particles from aerosol spray cans may be applied before and/or after magnetization. Wet particles can be applied during magnetization as long as they are not applied with sufficient velocity to
dislodge accumulated particles.
