Q4: Assuming that Minimum 3 pulses are required to trigger the alarm in<br />

A<strong>UT</strong> (or <strong>UT</strong>) . What would be (maximum) scanning speed to detect 0.5<br />

mm size defect while using 4 MHz probe, 10 mm beam diameter with PRR<br />

of 0.5 kHz.<br />

Answer:<br />

The distance Covered by scan in 1 second<br />

= PRR x Diameter = 500 x 10 = 5m/s<br />

The effective distance covered = D/ hits = 5/3 = 1.667m/s<br />

Hint: the size of the defect and mode frequency has no implication of the<br />

calculation
