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
