Result Interpretation

Phased Array Axial Depth of Field (Steel) calculator computes Axial Depth of Field in m using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Axial Depth of Field is expressed in m. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Focal Length = 0.1
  • Element Pitch = 0.0003
  • Center Frequency = 5000000
  • Longitudinal Sound Speed in Steel = 5920

Expected Result:

  • Axial Depth of Field = 263.11111111111

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Axial Depth of Field = 263.11111111111 m.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

axial depth of field = (2.0 * pow(focal length, 2.0) * longitudinal sound speed in steel) / (pow(element pitch, 2.0) * center frequency)
