7. Calibration blocks and reference specimens

7.1. Material
7.1.1. Material from which respective calibration blocks and reference specimens
are fabricated will be of the same product form and material specification or
equivalent. The calibration block material will be completely examined with a
straight beam search unit to ensure freedom from reflectors that exceed the
back wall echo.
7.1.2. For the examination for weldments which have been subjected to post weld
heat treatment the material from which the calibration block is fabricated will
have received a similar PWHT process, and also a post weld heat treatment of
at least 2 hr, if the calibration block contains weld prior to machine the
reflectors.
7.1.3. When calibration block have not received heat treatment, transfer method
shall be used to correlate the responses from the basic calibration block and
component. Transfer is accomplished by noting the difference between
responses received from the same reference reflector in the basic calibration
block and in the component and correcting for the difference.
7.2. The surface finish of the calibration blocks will be as representative of the surface
finish of the components as far as possible with suitable surface preparation or
treatment, as practical, to simulate testing conditions.

8. Distance calibration
The CRT will be calibrated for range using the international institute of welding STB-A1,
type 1, 2 and STB-A3 calibration blocks, in the relationship of time versus distance
(beam path length).
9. Distance amplitude correction (DAC curve)

9.1. For sensitivity calibration during all weld examination (Straight or Angle beam),
DAC curves will be constructed for every search unit to be utilized at each
particular range. Block used for DAC construction will be selected as appropriate
from those as specified in para. 7.3.
9.2. DAC curves will be constructed as follow.
9.2.1. Place the probe on the calibration block to obtain a reflection from the hole
that produces the greatest response.
9.2.2. Maximize the indication by manipulation and adjust to approx. 80% screen
height using the calibration gain control. Make a mark on the CRT at the peak
of the indication using an indelible fine tipped felt marker.
9.2.3. Points representing 20 % and 50 % of the primary gain are also to be
constructed. Repeat b) and c) using reflections from every reflector that can be
obtained within the beam length of the test range to be used, including those
reflections obtained from skip, if the sound path is more than probes specific
near field range.
9.2.4. Connect all points marked (minimum 3 points) with a smooth curving line,
this line will be referenced to as the DAC curve the respective probe used and
will apply for that particular material and configuration (or part geometry) only.

9.2.5. DAC curves will be directly marked as the CRT time base screen cover with
an indelible ink marker or superimposed using clear plastic, polyester or
Perspex overlap. The DAC curve fail to search a level of at least 23 % of full
screen height at the limit of its range, as represented on the time base,
sufficient supplementary gain should be added to attain this level and the DAC
adjusted accordingly.
10. Primary reference level and scanning sensitivity

10.1. The primary reference level will be that gain setting whereby reflectors in the
applicable basic calibration block or reference specimen as described in para. 7.3
above, coincide with DAC curve constructed as described in para. 9.0 above. The
primary reference level will be corrected for differences in surface character and
attenuation between the basic reference block and the actual item under
examination by method, as described in para. 11 herein.
10.2. Sensitivity settings for parent material examination with 0 compression wave will
be that dB value where by the first back wall echo of the material reaches 80 % of
full screen height, DAC curves will not apply for evaluation during this application.
Scanning will be carried out at the same setting according to ASTM A578.
11. Transfer value correction

11.1. Transfer value will be determined and used for all shear wave examination to
compensate for differences in surface contour, finish, coating, and acoustical
attenuation characteristics. This exercise will be performed for each nominal angle
of refraction to be utilized for examination. To ensure that accurate transfer value
correction factors are obtained, signal comparison will only be made in the far
field area of the ultrasonic beam.
11.2. Transfer correction will be measured with the following way;

11.2.1. Construct the DAC as per para. 9.0.

11.2.2. Using the primary search unit as the transmitter and a similar search unit as
a receiver, position both on the basic calibration block facing each other, in a
pitch and catches arrangement with the instrument in the dual transducer
mode.
11.2.3. Maximize the indication and adjust the gain to allow the indication to peak
at the DAC curve. Note the gain value.
11.2.4. Repeat steps a), b) and c) above on the component to be examined. The
difference in gain values is the transfer value. This value may be positive or
negative and adjustments will be made to the sensitivity settings accordingly
and should be recorded in all the reports.
12. Application of UT Examination

12.1. The applicable specification are 602-000-PI-SP-010 and 602-000-ST-SP-001
12.2. When RT is required and is not practicable UT plus MT may be considered as an
alternative subject to COMPANY approval.
12.3. UT may be substituted for RT where it is impractical to obtain an interpretable
radiograph, subject to COMPANY review and approval.
13. Parent metal evaluation

13.1. Thickness measurement
13.1.1. Any member from which scanning is to be conducted shall first be scanned
with a 0 compression probe to establish the thickness. These results will be
recorded.
13.1.2. Any areas of significant thickness variation, which could possibly affect
calculation, will be highlighted, recorded and reported.
13.2. Parent metal examination

13.2.1. The scanning of the adjacent base metal shall be performed to detect
reflectors that might affect interpretation of angle beam results, and is not to be
used as an acceptance-rejection examination. Locations and areas of such
reflectors shall be recorded.
13.2.2. Ultrasonic examination within pipe end and shall be carried out according to
ASTM A578. Any discontinuity (e.g. lamination) causing a reflection echo
exceeding 50 % and accompanied by a 50 % loss of back reflection shall be
considered as reject when the discontinuity area exceeds 100 mm.
14. Inspection of welds

14.1. General
14.1.1. A minimum of two different probe angles should always be applied (see
table 2) this is in addition to the straight beam probe required as per para. 12.
14.1.2. For butt joint welds, the examination shall be made from both sides of the
weld axis from the accessible surface, wherever possible.
14.1.3. Upon discovering suspect indications both orbital and rotational scan will be
carried out to evaluate the characteristics of the reflector.
14.1.4. Time base ranges as specified may be suitably readjusted by the operator in
localized areas to highlight suspect deflections and subsequently assist in echo
evaluation.
14.1.5. The normal scanning is carried out with at least 6 dB increased gain level,
and that all defects sizes will be evaluated at a non-increased level.

14.2. Longitudinal scanning

14.2.1. Scanning for longitudinal discontinuities in the weld body will be carried out
with the angle beam at approximately right angles to the weld axis, from two
directions whenever possible. Nominal angles of reflection to achieve this are
stated in table 2.
14.3. Transverse scanning
14.3.1. Scanning for discontinuities oriented transverse to the weld will be carried
out with the angle beam directed essentially parallel to the weld. For scanning
of transverse defects, it should be considered to scan on the weld cap itself,
which if necessary, must be ground flat. The search unit will be manipulated so
that the angle beam energy passes through the required volumes of weld and
adjacent base metal.
14.3.2. A transverse scan will be carried out on all welds scheduled for ultrasonic
examination.
14.3.3. Nominal angles of reflection to achieve this are stated in table 2. The
exception of the above will be when the search unit is scanning essentially as
tangent over curved surfaces of 20 diameter or less.

15. Discontinuity localization and size evaluation

15.1. Discontinuities will be confirmed and located within the weld cross section by
means of a probe manipulation to maximize the response obtained and to measure
beam path lengths and distance from established reference points. Location
reflectors may be aided by the use of trigonometry, electronic calculators and
ultrasonic plotting slides. The use of these additional tools will not be mandatory.
15.2. Evaluation
15.2.1. The corrected primary gain (primary reference level + transfer correction) is
to be increased by 6 dB for defect detection.
15.2.2. All discontinuities that produce reflectors at or grater than 20 % of DAC
when searching at the increased gain level as above, are to be subject to
defect size evaluation at non-increased gain level (i.e. with 6dB decrease).
These imperfections shall be investigated to determine the shape, identity, and
location.
