    8.3 Two-Point Calibration For Probe Zero and Material Velocity

    Uploaded by

    Jorge Manuel Guillermo
    This document discusses calibrating ultrasonic probes using a two-point calibration method. It describes placing the probe on thin and thick sections of a calibration block to calculate both material velocity and probe delay. If the calibration block is unavailable, an alternative is to slide the probe across the material under test or use a custom sample that provides reflections from different thicknesses for each probe beam.

    8.3 Two-Point Calibration for Probe Zero and Material Velocity


    Two options are available for D-CAL: 2-POINT and 1-POINT.

    • 2-POINT calculates material velocity and probe delay

    • 1-POINT calculates probe delay only and should only be used after a 2-POINT has been performed (to re-adjust
    probe delay) or when the material velocity is known and has been entered.
    8.3.1 2-POINT D-CAL
    For recording of the 2-point calibration, use the 118-540-985 (inches) or 118-540-985 (metric) calibration block (sold
    separately by GE). GE recommends calibrating the instrument using these blocks. For recording the two points, place
    the probe on the thin and thick sample as shown in Figure 72 below. Each beam should “see” a reflection from the
    chosen thin reflector and the thick reflector.

    Figure 72: Calibration Probes on 0.1-inch block and 0.5-inch block

    Note: If the wide block is not available, an alternate 2 point calibration technique calls for sliding the probe across a
    section of the required material, or for placement on a special calibration sample with sufficient area for
    reflections from the given thickness displayed by each beam, as shown in Figure 73 below. Each beam of the
    array must “see” a reflection from both the chosen thin reflector and the thick reflector. However, sliding the
    probe is not necessary if a sufficient area of thickness can be “seen” by all beams.
