The HPF is used to:
Eliminate low frequencies which are produced by slow
changes, such as a conductivity shift
Adjust the bandwidth to a neutral frequency in order to
maximize depth of penetration
Remove any standing waves in the output signal
Shift the waveform from positive to negative when a rejectable
defect is identified
Inductance is identified by the letter:
L
M
Z
X
Which type of probe has a long slender housing to permit
inspection in restricted spaces?
Pancake probes
Pencil probes
Encircling probes
Sliding probes
Probe shielding and loading are sometimes used to:
Prevent external electrical interference
Limit the spread and concentrate the magnetic field of the coil
Magnetically saturate the part
None of the above
Narrow EDM notches and saw cuts:
Are never used because they are too wide
Are never used due to their heat affected zones
Are commonly used to represent cracks
Both A and B
Sliding probes usually operate in the:
Reflection mode
Through-transmission mode
Pulsed mode
Differential mode
Most surface probe coils are wound so that:
They transmit a frequency that will slightly resonate the part
surface
They create a static magnetic field
The axis of the coil is perpendicular to the test surface
Both B and C
A probe that is often intended to be used in contact with the
test surface is called a:
Reference probe
Surface probe
Transmission probe
Reflection probe
An eddy current test circuit will have:
Resistance
Inductive reactance
A small amount of capacitance
All of the above
10
Probes with iron cores tend to:
Be more sensitive than air core probes and less affected by
probe wobble
Be more difficult to use
Increase the background noise of the signal
Both B and C
11
Scanning speed must be controlled:
When using a small transducer
When using a large transducer
When using a high pass filter
When using a large low frequency probe
12
The main function of the LPF is to:
Control probe wobble
Adjust the machine to the proper conductivity standard
Shift the waveform to the left of the screen
Remove high frequency interference noise
13
HPF stands for:
High Pulse Filter
Harmonic Pulse Filter
High Pass Filter
High Pulse Factor
14
When testing for surface flaws, the probe drive frequency
used:
Should be as high as possible
Should be as low as possible
Depends on the conductivity and permeability of the material
Depends only on the material conductivity
15
The coil in an eddy current probe is most often made from:
Iron
Copper
Silver
Platinum
16
The HPF allows:
Low frequencies to pass and filters out the high frequencies
High frequencies to pass and filters out the low frequencies
For the combined frequencies to be adjusted to a harmonic
balance
The shape of the waveform to be clipped beyond it frequency
balance
17
The higher the inductance of a coil at a given frequency:
The more penetrating the eddy currents will be
The less sensitive the coil will be
The more sensitive the coil will be
None of the above
18
When maintaining constant liftoff is a problem, what type of
probe should be used?
A absolute probe
A differential probe
A reflection probe
Both B and C
19
Discontinuities, such as delaminations, that are in a plane that
is parallel with the test surface will likely:
Be easily detected with a surface probe
Be easily detected with an internal probe
Be easily detected with an external probe
None of the above
20
In almost all cases, eddy current inspection procedures require
the equipment to be calibrated to:
A reference standard
An identified defect
A crack which is the rejection criteria
A crack twice the rejection criteria
