PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of the Joint Standards
Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee MT-007, Non-Destructive Testing of Metals
and Materials to supersede AS 2083—1981, Calibration blocks and their methods of use in
ultrasonic testing. After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards
Australian and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian
Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.
The objective of this Standard is to specify the requirements for a range of ultrasonic
calibration blocks and testing methods for non-destructive testing.
The objective of this revision is to revise the range of calibration blocks used in ultrasonic
testing.
In the preparing of this edition of the Standard, the Committee decided to include

requirements for reference blocks and blocks for use in the measurement of thickness of
metal by acoustic energy.
Methods included for the calibration of ultrasonic testing equipment are considered by the
Committee to be those based on accepted good practice and in widespread use, although the
Committee is aware that other methods are used.
