single traverse Explanation: 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. |

| Reference: Bilingual ISO document Reference information: See this bilingual ISO document: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:std:iso:5577:ed-1:v1:fr 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. |
