Nondestructive test (NDT) has been proved to be a valuable support for industry, saving money and time. International standards provide some requirements for transducers’ diameter concerning the area section of the workpiece to be inspected. This paper investigates the relationship between the ultrasonic transducer’s diameter and the area section to be measured, and its impact on the measured longitudinal ultrasonic velocity. Initial results showed a tendency of growth on the ultrasonic velocity with an increase of diameter.
