Measurement of the penetration of liquid sodium into limestone concrete

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6767227
A pulse-echo ultrasonic system is used to monitor the movement of the interface created by pouring hot, liquid sodium onto limestone concrete. The essence of this system is to measure the time required for an acoustic signal, generated by the transmitting transducer, to traverse the specimen, reflect at the pool/concrete interface, and then retraverse the sample.
