The inductive reactance of a test coil can be calculated using the formula
XL=2(pi)fl
With Eddy current testing, In order to decrease the effect on conductivity readings due to variations in test part thickness
The test frequency should be increased
When testing by the eddy current method, discontinuities will be most easily detected when the eddy currents are
Perpendicular to the major plane of the discontinuity
with eddy current coils, the fill factor when a 0.75 inch diameter bar is inserted in a 1 inch outside diameter core coil is
56% (D1sqrd/D2sqrd)

Dry
What mechanism is responsible for the greater sensitivity of nonaqueous developers
Solvent mixing with entrapped penetrant and expanding its volume
The differences in sensitivities of a manufacturer’s fluorescent penetrant are usually obtained by varying the
Dye concentrations
Which of the following are not functions that a good developer would have (extract penetrant from flaw entrapment, transfer penetrant from flaw to surface, prevent the spread of penetrant in developer coating, increase contrast between penetrant and background)
Prevent the spread of penetrant and developer coating
The absorption property of a developer refers to its ability to
Assimulate liquid penetrant into its bulk
But floor applying a dry develop the police if this were excess water washable penetrant have been removed, the surface must be
Dry
Before applying an aqueous type of developer to a surface where excess water-washable penetrants have been removed, the surface can be
wet or dry
The lateral diffusion or bleeding from a penetrant entrapment may cause (small flaws to become lost in the spread, indications appear too large, indication size is exaggerated when dwell time is exceeded)

The current waveform in that has the deepest penetration is (AC, half wave direct current, full wave direct current, 3 phase direct current)
half wave direct current
in a head shot, the amount of current is determined by (length of part, distance between prods, the L/D ration and turns of the coil, the diameter or diagonal of the part)
the diameter or diagonal of the test part
what is the first step to determine if an indication is false (apply, penetrant, clean and demagnetize, heat treat, apply magnetic field)
clean and demagnetize
which if the following materials is very weakly magnetic (ferromagnetic, diamagetnic, paramagnetic, low carbon steel)
paramagnetic
in a residual magnetic particle examination, the magnetic particles are applied
after the part has been magnetized
when prods are used, the current is determined by
the prod separation
When reducing the magnetizing force which produced a magnetic field in a part made of ferromagnetic material has been reduced to zero, the magnetic field in the part is termed

The deeper a discontinuity is from a surface
the more diffuse becomes the indication pattern

Weaker
Which of the following conversion screens has the longest half-life (dysprosium, indium, cadmium, gadolinium)
Dysprosium
A neutron is unique as it is electrically neutral. The lack of electric charge means that its electrostatic interaction with the atoms electrons is
almost completely negligible

(all of the above)
A thin sheet of gadolinium foil, in intimate contact with photographic film during a neutron exposure, will increase film density because
it emits electrons that darken the film
For direct the neutron radiosity, precaution has to be taken to reduce the gamma ray background of most sources as this tends to obscure the neutron radio graph this may be done by
