Chapter 2: “Phased Array Scanning”

Practice Questions

1) Linear arrays can eliminate the need for probe movement (rastering) during
weld inspection by means of multiplexing the active elements across an apeture?

a) True
b) False

2) How many elements can be “fired” simultaneously with a 64:128 phased array
module?

3) In phased array the concept of aperture splitting Ie. Numerous elements


individually pulsed within a probes aperture, allows for the following beam
characteristics to be achieved: (circle the True statements)

a) The ability to move the acoustic beam along the axis of the array
without any mechanical movement.

b) The ability to form multiple angle beams with one probe

c) The ability to electronically scan with one selected angle over a wide
inspection area without any probe movement

d) The ability to scan a complete sector of volume 360° without any probe
movement.

e) All the above

4) The definition of Phased Array is:

a) An array of transducer elements in which the timing of the elements'


excitation can be individually controlled to produce certain desired effects,
such as steering the beam axis or focusing the beam.

b) An array of transducers within a probe casing in which the timing is


shifted to control the beam axis for steering and focusing purposes.
c) An array of elements in which are electronically “phased” through pulse
echo techniques to form a focused and “steered” beam axis.

d) An array of transducer elements in which the timing of the elements'


excitation can be individually controlled through time of flight techniques to
produce certain desired beam effects.

5) List the two types of scanning used for phased array inspection.

6) Which of the following statements relate to Linear Scanning and which one
relates to Sectorial Scanning?

- For every beam generated the entire defined element “aperture” is pulsed
to a specified time delay (focal law)

- For every beam generated a defined “group” of elements are pulsed to a


specific focal law is

7) During Linear scanning a specific number (group) of elements within the probe
apeture are “fired” to produce a single beam. These numerous “groups” of
elements are fired across the apeture at specified “steps” during scanning.

a)True
b) False

8) Linear scanning is performed by time multiplexing the active element groups


across the probe aperture

 frequency
 number of “channels” in acquisition system

to cover an entire weld volume without probe movement.

a single scan

scanning.

“scanning” without any probe movement

best angle spread of the choices below for a common single bevel joint 6mm in
thickness?

a) 30 to 60

16) Sectoral scanning combines the advantages of a wide beam and/or multiple
focused probes in a single phased array probe

a) True
b) False

17) Which of the following statements are true with sectoral scanning.

a) Numerous angle beams are achieved across the entire probe aperture
during scanning.

b) Enables the operator to scan over a wide inspection area via electronic
“scanning” without any probe movement

c) Enables the operator to scan over a wide inspection area without any
probe movement due to the defined angle spread of the generated beams

18) When sectoral scanning for every angle beam generated the entire “defined”
element apeture is “fired” to a specified time delay (focal law)

a) True
b) False

19) When setting up a linear or sectoral scan for weld inspection, what areas of
the weld need to covered to ensure full and proper coverage is obtained?
