This document contains formulas and symbols used in ultrasonic testing. It includes equations for wavelength, near field distance, beam spread, Snell's law, decibel conversion, acoustic impedance, reflected energy, velocity through a path, skip distance, pulse period, and circumference of a circle. SI units and pneumonic aids to remember the formulas are also provided.
