Beam Profile

The document presents information on beam profiles for non-destructive testing. It discusses beam path, skip distance, depth, and provides formulas to calculate these values. An example is given to calculate the beam path and skip distance for a 600 shear wave traveling through a 25mm thick steel plate. The beam path in the first leg is 50mm, and the skip distance is 43.3mm. The beam path in the second leg is 100mm, and the skip distance is 86.6mm. Diagrams of 450, 600, and 700 beam profiles are also included.

Tanθ = ½ SD / T SD = ½ SD + ½ SD
½ SD = T X Tan θ SD = T. Tan θ + T. Tan θ
Where: SD = 2T X Tan θ
SD = SKIP DISTANCE Where:
T = Thickness SD = SKIP DISTANCE

 Depth = 2T – SP x CosθR
 Depth = 2T –SD x TanθR
A 600 shear wave travels through 25 mm thickness steel plate; find out
beam path and skip distance values in first and second leg?

Answer: Formula:
Thickness of plate (t) = 25 mm Beam path in first leg (Bp1) = t/ cosθ
Angle of wave (θ) = 600 Beam path in second leg (Bp2) = 2t/ cosθ
Beam path in first leg (Bp1) =? Skip distance in first leg (Sd1) = t X Tanθ
Beam path in second leg (Bp2) =? Skip distance in second leg (Sd2) = 2t X Tanθ
Skip distance in first leg (Sd1) =?
Skip distance in second leg (Sd2) =?

Bp1 = t/ cosθ Sd1= t X Tanθ


= 25/ cos60 = 25 X Tan60
= 50 mm = 43.3 mm
Bp2 = 2t/ cosθ Sd2 = 2t X Tanθ
= 2X25/ cos60 = 2X25 X Tan60
= 100 mm = 86.6mm
