    摘要: A method of determining low density deposits on the inner surface of a boiler tube comprises the generation of ultrasonic energy which is directed from the outer surface of the tube to the inner surface of the tube. The energy is reflected back and forth between the inner and outer surfaces with each reflection of the inner surface loosing energy by attenuation into any existing low density deposit. The first and fourth reflections are measured and digitized for analysis to determine the amount of attenuation. The amount of attenuation is representative of the low density deposit on the inner surface of the tube. The tube is preferably empty of water to avoid transmission of ultrasonic energy through water in the tube.

    摘要: An ultrasonic transducer arrangement for inspecting a work piece at an elevated temperature through the use of ceramic delay lines is disclosed. The ceramic material utilized for the delay lines is comprised of a composition of silicon nitride and boron nitride which is hot pressed so that the boron nitride platelets are aligned substantially parallel to the propagation direction of the ultrasonic pulses thus minimizing pulse attenuation. The ceramic material is heat and wear resistant and can be machined so as to conform to the surface of the work piece being inspected.

    摘要: An ultrasonic apparatus and method for testing a material comprises an oscillator which generates a selected frequency in the ultrasonic range. A transducer is connected to the oscillator for applying an ultrasonic signal to the material and for receiving an echo signal back from the material. Two phase detectors are utilized one of which receives the echo signal and an in-phase oscillator signal to generate a first display signal, and the other of which receives a quadrature signal which is 90.degree. out of phase from the oscillator signal, as well as the echo signal to generate a second display signal. The first and second display signals are utilized in a visual display such as a cathode ray tube, to generate an image. The image changes according to the phase shift between the ultrasonic signal transmitted into the material and the echo signal, which, in turn, can be utilized to determine the presence and depth of a flaw or boundary in the material.
