Sound Attenuation
Sound attenuation or absorption in many organic materials, such
as low density plastics and rubber, occurs when sound is
attenuated very rapidly at the frequencies used in normal
ultrasonic thickness gauging. Therefore, the maximum thickness
that can be measured in these materials is often limited.
8.2
Transducer Selection
For any ultrasonic measurement system (transducer plus thickness
gage) there will be a minimum material thickness below which valid
measurements will not be possible.
Normally this minimum range will be specified in the manufacturer's
literature. As transducer frequency increases, the minimum
measurable thickness decreases. In corrosion applications, where
minimum remaining wall thickness is normally the parameter to be
measured, it is particularly important to be aware of the specified
range of the transducer being used. If a dual is used to measure a test
piece that is below its designed minimum range, the gage may detect
invalid echoes and display an incorrectly high thickness reading. The
table below lists approximate minimum measurable thicknesses in
steel for the standard transducers used with the Panametrics-NDT
TM
MG2 gage. Note that these numbers are approximate. The exact
measurable minimum in a given application depends on material
velocity, surface condition, temperature and geometry, and it should
be determined experimentally by the user.
