4.2.7: Transfer Correction<br />

Methods of compensating <strong>for</strong> transfer and attenuation loss differences <strong>for</strong><br />

0attenuation 000compression probes and <strong>for</strong> shear wave compression<br />

probes. These are based on obtaining similar echo responses on both the<br />

calibration block and on the component.<br />

For 0degree probes backwall echoes are used to probes establish transfer<br />

and attenuation correction.<br />

For shear wave probes two identical probes are used in “pitch-catch” in<br />

order to obtain what are effectively backwall echoes.<br />

either method cannot be used if the either component does not have a<br />

convenient parallel section.
