0.1 SCOPE
This general Ultrasonic procedure in association with specific UT procedure attachments is
intended to be descriptive of all ultrasonic examination that will be carried out by UT
personnel ASME Sec VIII are the controlling document.
This procedure with attachments is designed to comply with the recommendations of ASME
Sec V & Sec VIII.
All ultrasonic examination will be pulse echo method using direct contact method. Through
transmission or pitch –catch techniques will not be within the scope of this procedure.
Electronic alarms or gate system & suppression will not be utilised.
Ultrasonic instrumwill be a scan flaw detectors & shall meet the requirements of t530 of
Article 5 of ASME Sec-V. Each technician will perform instrument & transducer checks.
This will include,but will not be limited to screen height linearity, amplitude control linearity
& beam spread as given in sce V., Horizontal linearity, index point, beam angle &
resolution.
Calibration Record will be maintained for reference.
7.1 DAC Curves shall be made for each variationin combination of normal angle of refraction &
frequency or when charging to probe of different manufacturer or series. The basic
calibration block (T 542.2 Art 5 ASME Sec V) will be used for DAC Construction.
7.2 PROCEDURE
DAC curve will be constructed as follows.
7.1)Place the probe on the calibration block to obtain a reflection from the required hole
which produces the greatest response.
7.2)Maximise the indication by manipulation & adjust to approximately 80% screen height
using the calibrated gain control. Make a mark on the CRT at the peak of of this indication
with an indelible fine tipped marker.
7.3)Repeat step(8.2) with out disturbing the gain control, using reflection from every
required reflector with in the beam path length of the test range to be useg.
7.4) Connect all points marked with a smooth curving line. This line will be referred to as the
DAC Curve for the particular search unit & range used.
