In the method of ultrasonic transit-time measurement in liquid or solid materials by the pulse- reflection method, a test head transmits a pulse, if possible in the form of a shock wave, which travels through a buffer zone and partly enters the test piece and is partly reflected from its surface. The entry or back-wall echo reflected from the surface into the test head (the starting echo) is used to derive an echo-start signal for starting a transit-time measurement (echo-start), which is stopped by a subsequent back-wall echo (useful signal provided its amplitude exceeds an adjustable threshold value. The height of the threshold value in connection with the echo- start signal is progressively altered in dependence on the amplitude and variation in time of the starting echo; the threshold value initially has a high value during a first, adjustable-height threshold and then decreases along a slope, in accordance with a preset function and within an adjustable time, to a second threshold, which is also adjustable in height.
