Focusing - Immersion transducers can be focused with acoustic lenses to<br />

create an hourglass-shaped beam that narrows to a small focal zone and<br />

then expands. Certain types of delay line transducers can be focused as well.<br />

Beam focusing is very useful when measuring small diameter tubing or other<br />

test pieces with sharp radiuses, since it concentrates sound energy in a small<br />

area and improves echo response.
