Period
Used throughout the 1950s and the 1960s. Utilisé à travers les années 1950 et 1960.
Canada
The reflectoscope does not have a clear and direct connection to Canada. However, this type of instrument was widely used in industry and academia in materials research, engineering and medicine. Le réflectoscope n'a pas de connexion claire et directe avec le Canada. Cependant, ce type d'instrument a grandement été utilisé dans l'industrie et aussi dans les milieux universitaires en ce qui concerne la recherche, l'ingénierie et la médecine.
Function
Used for non-destructive testing of materials using ultrasound. The reflectoscope is a rugged self-contained instrument engineered for use under mill and plant conditions. The four controls on the front panel make for ease of operation, and therefore, a minimum of operator training. The front panel controls are: amplification, sweep length, power on-off, and pulse tuning. Utilisé pour des essais non destructif de matériel en utilisant des ultrasons. Le réflectoscope est un instrument renforcé conçu pour l'utilisation en conditions de moulins et d'usines. Les quatre contrôles sur le panneau d'avant assurent la facilité d'opération, et cependant, une formation minime pour l'opérateur. Les contrôles sur le panneau d'avant sont les suivants: amplification, longueur de balayage, éteindre et redémarrer et accords des impulsions.
Technical
Secondary controls are horizontal position, intensity, focus, reject, pulse length and fixed sweep. These controls are accessible through a door on top of the reflectoscope cabinet. The easily removed cabinet permits good accessibility for test, maintenance and repair. The reflectoscope operates on a pulse technique. A short pulse of high frequency sound is emitted from the crystal of a search unit and an echo returns when this energy strikes a reflecting surface. The eflectoscope was developed by Floyd Firestone in 1945 for inspecting the interior of materials. It also became an inspiration for using ultrasound techniques in medicine. Les contrôles secondaires sont les suivants: position horizontale, intensité, focus, rejet, durée d'impulsion et balayage fixe. Ces contrôles sont accessibles à travers une porte sur le dessus de l'armoire du réflectoscope. L'armoire facilement démontable permet une bonne accessibilité pour des essais, de l'entretien et de la réparation. Le réflectoscope utilise des techniques d'impulsions. Une impulsion courte de son à haute fréquence est émis d'un cristal d'une unité et un écho revient lorsque cette énergie frappe une surface réfléchissante. Le réflectoscope a été développé par Floyd Firestone en 1945 pour inspecter l'intérieur de certain matériels. L'appareil a aussi été une inspiration pour l'utilisation de la technique d'ultrason dans le champ de la médecine.
