signals to return
B. decreases as the range of examination increases because it takes longer for the ultrasound
signals to return

3. When plotting an indication on beam profile plotting chart from a full skip angled examination the
following assumption is made:
A. that the edges of the beam spread are parallel to the centre of the beam
B. that the back wall of the component is parallel to the inspection surface
C. that the stand off is twice the measured value
D. that the effect of beam spread is not considered.
A. penetration is less than for a low frequency probe and thickness checks are only carried out on
thin specimens
B. the probes are smaller and the point of inspection can be more accurately determined
C. perspex wear shoes can be fitted which limit the damage that would be caused if they were used
for general inspections
the wavelength is shorter at high frequencies. (\\, t

7. The 20dB beam spread of an ultrasonic probe is best determined:
A. an area of the ultrasound beam, near the surface, where the ability of the probe to detect signals
is impaired
B. the barrier between crystal halves in a twin crystal probe
C. the extremities of the beam spread, beyond the 20 dB drop beam spread lines
D. is another name for the near field.
11. In immersion testing of aluminium, using water as a couplant, the critical angle of incidence for
longitudinal waves is approximately:
A. 8 degrees
B. 14 degrees
C. 26 degrees
D. 32 degrees
13. While testing a component, an operator notices a severe drop in the amplitude of the back wall
echo, on the flaw detector A-scan display. This is probably caused by:
A. a loss of couplant between the probe and the surface of the component
B. a change in the shape of the component
C. a discontinuity. the reflective face of which, is badly oriented to the beam
D. all of the above are possible explanations.

B. Basic test pattern showing the height of indication and its location in depth from the entry surface
C. Cross-section of the weld, showing top and bottom surface of the block and the location of any
defects
D. None of the above.
