The ultrasound is focused on to the welded area of the tube as it leaves the weld head and coupled to the tube via a water jet. Any discontinuity produces a signal which is amplified to operate a warning light and activates a point gun to mark the defective area. (2290) Ultrasonic detection and measurement of fatigue cracks in notched specimens Klima, S. J. and Freche, J. C. Experimental Mechanics, Vol 9, No 5 (May 1969) p193-203 The paper describes an ultrasonic technique which allows observation of the growth and formation of fatigue cracks in circumferentially notched cylindrical specimens and used in r e s e a r c h tests. The design and operation of each element in the crack-detection system is considered in detail. The ultrasonic transducer is clamped to one end of a specimen, is installed in a fatigue machine, using subriplate as a coupling medium. The transducer frequency chosen was 7MHz, and
microsecond pulses were emitted at a repetition rate of 500/second using a commercial pulsed flaw detector. Results were checked by examination of the specimens exposed cross-section micr0scopically and are presented graphically and photograpically. (2291) Ultrasenic thickness gauge Meier, J. H. Experimental Mechanics,Vol 9, No 5 (May 1969) p215-220 The paper describes an apparatus to approximately determine the thickness of a moving web that passes between two parallel guides. The design considerations and problems are explained in some detail. Particularly that of a subtraction circuit to eliminate unwanted acoustical reflections and a compensator for the changes in acoustic velocity with temperature. The final system consisted of 39.5kHz transducers propagating over an air gap to the web with a dummydetection channel containing the receiving and sending transducers reversed. Graphs of results obtained are presented. (2292)
