On the Issue of Interpretating Echograms in the Contact Technique
Source abstract
Abstract
The echogram of an ultrasonic pulsed flaw detector with the contact testing technique has been considered as a convolution when a transducer with a protector matching the couplant receives an acoustic pulse emitted by the same transducer through the couplant into the load and reflected from this load and from this transducer. A method is proposed for calculating echograms for products, transducers, and couplants made of any materials with any size of the contact layer, provided that the acoustic impedances of the materials used are known. A method is proposed for compensating interfering reflections for a transducer matched to the couplant.
