"Etalonnage de la base de temps
Après réglage du retard, l’appareil sera réglé de manière à visualiser sur la base de temps de l’appareil toute la partie concernée par l’exploration quel que soit le type de traducteur.
En ondes longitudinales, la base de temps est réglée de manière à visualiser au moins deux échos de fond lorsque le traducteur est placé sur la matière de base.
En ondes transversales, la base de temps est réglée de manière à visualiser la totalité du volume sondé soit en demi bond soit en bond complet."
I'd like to know what "bond complet" is too!

single traverse
Refers to the path taken by an elastic impulse in a material (transverse, torsional or longitudinal displacement) before reflection. Any discontinuity such a crack or inclusion alters the impedance of the material and hence creates a reflected wave which can be seen on an instrument such as an oscilloscope. Reflection occurs naturally at the material/air boundary, which is why a rod or pipe generates a characteristic tone when you hit it. The speed of the impulse in a pure sample is known, so given the frequency of the timebase and the position of the reflected "blip", you know where the defect is.

Not sure if it's the correct answer.
Note from asker:
thanks... had found that... googling "half bounce" did not inspire confidence. Hoping Tony M or Chris Collister will have something to say! |

See points 706 and 712, in English and French. They seem to translate "bond" as "traverse." I searched for "half traverse," "full traverse," and "multiple traverse" and I did get some hits when I combined the terms with "ultrasound" or "non-destructive testing." However the hits were few, not enough to give much confidence. I am posting the reference in case it might help you.

The "bond" may, or may not, be the reflected wave/impulse, which may, or may not, be a half sine wave. Without more info, it's mostly guesswork.
