Concept explainers
The pulse�echo ultrasonic technique can be used to determine the thickness of a part or structure. By accurately measuring the time it takes for a short ultrasonic pulse to travel through the thickness of a material, reflect from the back or inside surface, and return to the transducer, the distance can be calculated by:
Where:
- d is the thickness of the test piece.
- VÂ is the speed of sound in the material being tested.
- t is the measured round�trip time.
What are some alternative means of measuring thickness? Briefly discuss their relative pros and cons. Consider such features as geometric and material constraints and the ability to measure from one side only.

- 56.0 mL of two different liquids are poured through a funnel with a narrow exit tube, and the time for all of the liquid to flow through is recorded. Here are some results: time to flow through funnel trial Liquid X Liquid Y 1.60 s 3.62 s 1.52 s 3.44 s 1.44 s 3.56 s Note: the two liquids have the same density. Which statement below is true about these liquids based only on the data in the table? O The intermolecular forces in liquid X are stronger than those in liquid Y. The boiling point of liquid X is higher than the boiling point of liquid Y. The viscosity of liquid X is greater than the viscosity of liquid Y. The surface tension of liquid X is greater than the surface tension of liquid Y. The viscosity of liquid X is less than the viscosity of liquid Y. 3.arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle traveling in a straight line is given by v= (6t – 3t2) m/s, where t is in seconds.

- Hi please explain the processarrow_forwardA special sensor is designed to sense the percent vapor present in a liquid vapor mixture. If during a static calibration the sensor indicates 80 units when in contact with 100% liquid,0 units with 100% vapor ,and 40units with a 50:50% mixture,determine the static sensitivity of the sensorarrow_forwardWe wish to measure a characteristic of a machined part whose nominal size is 50 mm at 20 °C. For this, two different instruments are used; an analog micrometer and a digital vernier caliper, both recently calibrated and with the same resolution (0.01 mm). The calibration certificate data of the analog micrometer and the digital vernier are shown in tables 5 and 6 respectively. In both cases the calibration uncertainty does not include the contribution of resolution uncertainty. Additionally, there are drift studies for both instruments and it is established that the drift of the micrometer is ± 0.002 mm while the drift of the vernier is ± 0.02 mm. The same number of measurements were performed with both instruments to avoid repeatability biases under controlled environmental conditions. Table 7 shows the results of the measurements of both instruments. The temperature of the piece was monitored with a digital thermometer whose calibration uncertainty is 0.1 °C, which already includes…arrow_forward
