Submit
97. (214) What type of indication has sharp and jagged lines that follow the grain boundaries?

Explanation

Sharp and jagged lines that follow the grain boundaries indicate a scratch. A scratch occurs when a hard object is dragged across a surface, causing the material to be removed and leaving behind a visible mark. The sharp and jagged lines are the result of the scratching action, which follows the natural pattern of the material's grain boundaries.

Submit
98. (226) What are lines of force in a leakage field called?

Explanation

Lines of force in a leakage field are called magnetic flux lines. Magnetic flux lines represent the path that a magnetic field takes from one pole of a magnet to another. In the case of a leakage field, these lines represent the magnetic field that "leaks" or extends beyond the intended area. These lines help visualize and understand the direction and strength of the magnetic field in the leakage area.

Submit
99. (223) Since fluorescent penetrants are sensitive to elevated temperatures, fluorescence may be destroyed by being exposed to temperatures above

Explanation

Fluorescent penetrants are substances used in non-destructive testing to detect surface defects. They work by applying a fluorescent dye to the surface and then removing the excess dye. The remaining dye will seep into any defects, making them visible under UV light. However, these dyes are sensitive to elevated temperatures. The higher the temperature, the more likely the fluorescence will be destroyed. Therefore, the correct answer is 250 degrees F, as this is the highest temperature listed and the one most likely to destroy the fluorescence of the penetrants.

Submit
100. (208) The probability of detection (POD) curve may not be used for which basis?

Explanation

The probability of detection (POD) curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between the probability of detecting a flaw and the flaw size. It is commonly used in nondestructive testing to evaluate the performance of inspection procedures and equipment. However, it is not used for the selection of an applicable nondestructive inspection (NDI) procedure. The selection of an NDI procedure involves considering factors such as the type of material, the specific flaw being sought, and the equipment and techniques available. The POD curve is used to assess the performance of the chosen procedure, not to select it.
