    Angle beam inspections require calculating the location of reflection points or nodes where the sound beam encounters interfaces using trigonometric functions or formulas. The document defines key terms like nodes, skip distance, and leg distances and provides formulas for calculating the skip distance between nodes, the surface distances of nodes, and the leg distances in the material which can be used to determine flaw depths.

    Angle Beam Inspection Calculations

    When performing an angle beam inspection, it is important to know where the sound beam is encountering an
    interface and reflecting. The reflection points are sometimes referred to as nodes. The location of the nodes can
    be obtained by using the trigonometric functions or by using the trig-based formulas which are given below.
    Nodes - surface points where sound waves reflect.
    Skip Distance - surface distance of two successive nodes.
    Leg 1 (L1) - sound path in material to 1st node.
    Leg 2 (L2) - sound path in material from 1st to 2nd node.
    qR - refracted sound wave angle.
