Ultrasonic Testing Sound Path online Calculator
This easy-to-use tool calculates the one-way distance (sound path) from the transducer to a reflector in ultrasonic testing (UT). Choose materials like steel, aluminum, water, or acrylic, or enter a custom velocity, and input the round-trip time in microseconds. Get quick results in millimeters and micrometers.

Example: For steel (5900 m/s) and a 20 μs round-trip time, the sound path (one-way distance) is 59 mm (59000 μm), and the round-trip distance is 118 mm (118000 μm).
Sound Path Calculation
The sound path refers to the one-way distance traveled by an ultrasonic wave from the transducer to a reflector. For pulse-echo testing, the formula accounts for the round-trip time:
Sound Path (SP) = (Velocity of Sound × Pulse-Echo Time) / 2
