UT – Comparison SDH – FBH : Amplitude analysis
Summary
MONO-ELEMENT CONTACT probe 2.25 MHZ, Ø6.35 MM
For the Ø6.35 mm contact probe at 2.25 MHz, the SV45° mode is used for inspection. The input signal frequency is 2.25 MHz, with 44% bandwidth and 147° phase.
The acoustic focusing depth is 3 mm, deduced from the simulated beam as illustrated below.
The results are calibrated versus the Ø3 mm FBH at 30 mm depth.
| Measured (dB) | Simulated (dB) | Difference (dB) | |
| FBH Ø3 mm | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| SDH Ø2 mm | -3.1 | -3.5 | 0.4 |
| SDH Ø1.5 mm | -5.0 | -5.8 | 0.8 |
