The Edge

This eliminates the vapor space but sealing the edge can be a problem. Double seals can help and sometimes a fixed roof is also added above the floating roof to help capture any leaks from the seal. However in this case, the space between the fixed and floating roof now breathes and an inert gas purge of this space would typically be used. The inert gas would be vented to atmosphere after treatment. 

Zone 1 The probe is far away form the slot the interaction with the slot is low. The impedance change is small. This situation is tme until the probe reaches the edge of the slot. The range of the zone is [- x 1 ]... 

The reflection tomograms (c) show the axial hole in the Plexiglas specimen, but also a real discontinuity in the A/5i -alloy. The internal discontinuity is located 6 mm from the edge, 50° from the axial hole and its dimension is about 1-2 mm. This may be an inclusion or a porosity (void). Multiple reflections from the measurement were ignored in the calculation of the Plexiglas tomogram (left). This is seen as a bright circle. 

When using the gradient method described above, conventional flat-bottom hole standards can not be used. Tbe probe will see only the edges of the holes and they all have the same gradient, i.e. vertical steepness, and will give the same signal responses. 

As a conclusion to this experiment and in order to optimize the sensibility of tire probe it is necessary that the coil shall be on the edge of the ferrite. The results obtained confirm the probe stability. 

In this theory, the fundamental notion is the concept of beam introduced similarly to that ft om the geometrical optics. The faces of the discontinuity will reflect all the electromagnetic beams due to the zero conductivity of the air filling the discontinuity The edge of the discontinuity will diffract the incident beam similarly to the Fresnel diffraction in optics. 

The magnetic field diffracted by the edge of the crack in the material has the general expression... 

In fig. 2 an ideal profile across a pipe is simulated. The unsharpness of the exposure rounds the edges. To detect these edges normally a differentiation is used. Edges are extrema in the second derivative. But a twofold numerical differentiation reduces the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of experimental data considerably. To avoid this a special filter procedure is used as known from Computerised Tomography (CT) /4/. This filter based on Fast Fourier transforms (1 dimensional FFT s) calculates a function like a second derivative based on the first derivative of the profile P (r) ... 

Good localisation The edge has to be localised with precision. ... 

Fig. 2 shows the CFRP-sandwich specimen and the transducer mounted on the scanner. Fig. 23 presents a C-scan of the specimen as first interesting result. Only the defects visible from the outside are indicated. The distance between transducer and specimen was smaller than the focal length, so that the angle of incidence at the edge of the sound beam converts the longitudinal waves to Rayleigh-waves in the specimen. These waves provide a very sharp image of the surface. This method opens the possibility for a non-contact acoustic microscope. 

Fig. 4a shows a characteristic narrow banded signal (860 kHz center frequency) from a flat steel surface (reference signal). A steel block was milled in a way that the distance of the upper and graved surface varied from 0 to about 1300 microns (Fig. 5). Moving the probe along the edge (see Fig. 5) about 30 signals have been acquired equidistantly (all 4 mm). Fig. 4b and 4c show two characteristic signals (position 6 and 12). The 30 measured signals have been preprocessed and deconvolved. Fig. 6 shows the evident correlation between measured TOF difference and signal position (depth of milled grave).

The beam spread for surfece SH Wave probes was examined by STB-Al Calibration Block in comparisonwith the edge echo and lower comer echo height as shown in Fig. 5. 

Roll marks and the edge of the tube sheet provides distinct reference points as scan characteristics and tube thickness may change dramatically at these points. 

It might be noted that only for particles smaller than about 1 /ig or of surface area greater than a few square meters per gram does the surface energy become significant. Only for very small particles does the edge energy become important, at least with the assumption of perfect cubes. 

One type of dislocation is the edge dislocation, illustrated in Fig. VII-7. We imagine that the upper half of the crystal is pushed relative to the lower half, and the sequence shown is that of successive positions of the dislocation. An extra plane, marked as full circles, moves through the crystal until it emerges at the left. The process is much like moving a rug by pushing a crease in it. 

The microscopic complexity of the contact angle is illustrated in Fig. X-14, which shows the edge of a solidified drop of glass—note the foot that spreads out from the drop. Ruckenstein [176] discusses some aspects of this, and de Gennes [87] has explained the independence of the spreading rate on the nature of the substrate as due to a precursor film present also surrounding a nonspread-... 

The FCC structure is illustrated in figure Al.3.2. Metallic elements such as calcium, nickel, and copper fonu in the FCC structure, as well as some of the inert gases. The conventional unit cell of the FCC structure is cubic with the lengdi of the edge given by the lattice parameter, a. There are four atoms in the conventional cell. In the primitive unit cell, there is only one atom. This atom coincides with the lattice pomts. The lattice vectors for the primitive cell are given by... 

Figure Al.7.6. Schematic diagrams of the DAS model of the Si(l 11)-(7 x 7) surface structure. There are 12 adatoms per unit cell in the outennost layer, which each have one dangling bond perpendicular to the surface. The second layer, called the rest layer, also has six rest atoms per unit cell, each with a perpendicular dangling bond. The comer holes at the edges of the nnit cells also contain one atom with a dangling bond.

In moist enviromnents, water is present either at the metal interface in the fonn of a thin film (perhaps due to condensation) or as a bulk phase. Figure A3.10.1 schematically illustrates another example of anodic dissolution where a droplet of slightly acidic water (for instance, due to H2SO4) is in contact with an Fe surface in air [4]. Because Fe is a conductor, electrons are available to reduce O2 at the edges of the droplets.
