5.14 The Concept of Effective Distance<br />

Effective distance in ultrasonic testing is a distance which take into account of<br />

the required sound beam overlap and hits. The effective distance always<br />

smaller in the calculation.<br />

Keywords:<br />

Loop or full path = Thickness x 2<br />

Effective Distance D eff = Beam Diameter / overlap, or<br />

Effective Distance D eff = Beam Diameter / No. of hits<br />

Effective Distance D eff = Loop x hits<br />

T = Time (of interest)<br />

T = D eff / Velocity<br />

PRR = 1/T<br />

RPM = Revolution per minute<br />

Maximum linear traversing speed V <strong>for</strong> effective inspection = RPM x D eff
