Chapter 12: Nondestructive Examination Processes Flashcards
Which of the following NDE methods do not usually require electricity?
Eddy current, visible dye penetrant, visual
Visible dye penetrant, visual
Which of the following NDE methods is limited to the detection of surface discontinuities?
Visual, penetrant, magnetic particle
All 3
To be most effective, visual inspection should be performed:
Before, during, and after welding
The time during which the penetrant remains on the surface of the part to allow it to be drawn into any discontinuities is called:
Dwell time
Which type of magnetizing current provides the best combination of penetrability and particle mobility?
Half-wave rectified DC
What NDE method will most likely reveal subsurface porosity?
RT
A correct following statement regarding RT and density:
A high-density discontinuity will produce a light image on the film
Which of the following discontinuities is rarely detected using RT?
Lamination
What device is used during radiography to indicate the acquired sensitivity of a radiograph?
Penetrameter (Image Quality Indicator)
Which nondestructive examination method utilizes sound energy as a probing medium?
UT
The process whereby the ultrasonic indications are related to physical distances in a test standard is referred to as:
Calibration
A test probé containing an alternating current coil is used for which NDE method?
ET
Changes in electrical conductivity can be measured using which NDE method?
ET
Which of the following NDE methods are suitable for detecting surface cracks?
Any
What NDE method is most likely to reveal internal laminations in a rolled plate?
UT
PT is limited to the detection of those discontinuities that are:
Clean and open to the test object surface
Visible Dye penetrant indications:
Must be observed under white light
