This is a reuse sub-menu, the ENTER can be used to switch between the P-WIDTH and
P-FREQ, parameter value corresponds to the menu can be adjusted by + and - keys.
[P-WIDTH]
The square wave pulse motivated should match the frequency of used probe to improve the signal
noise ratio.
Range: 50ns~1000ns;
Auto: the instrument automatically adjust the best width of square wave according to the probe
frequency.
Step size: 10ns;
Adjustment method: + and - keys.
Tip:
z the probe frequency must be input correctly, or else, the inspection result may be affected;
z The actual frequency and nominal frequency of probe may have certain deviation; this will
lead to the deviation arisen by square wave pulse width calculated automatically via the
instrument and the best width, when the auto option is selected. Generally, this deviation has
no effect on the inspection until the probe is destroyed or the frequency is input incorrectly. If
the client wants to get the best effect, you can manually adjust the pulse width of square wave.
manual
The method is that the same reflector is selected, get the square wave width when the echo
arrive the highest echo.
z Generally speaking, when the probe frequency match the pulse width of square wave, the
probe produces resonant vibration, received reflecting wave is the purest, and the amplitude is
the highest; when the pulse with the width is larger then the best width, the frequency of the
received reflecting wave is more abundant, it is very easy to find the micro-defect under some
situation.
[P-FREQ]
The client should set this option to actual probe frequency, due to the signal noise is improved only
by the instrument filter frequency band must correspond to the probe frequency.
Range: 0.1~15MHz
Step size: 0.1MHz
3.3.2.4 P-VOLT/P-DAMP
This is a reuse sub-menu, the enter key can be used to switch between the transmitting voltage
and probe damping, parameter value corresponds to the menu can be adjusted by + and -
keys.
Transmitting voltage refers to actual voltage of emitting square wave pulse. In order to get the best
inspection result, you can adjust the voltage amplitude of emitted square wave pulse to adapt to the
thickness and acoustic impedance of the measured material.
Range: 100V, 150V, 200V, 250V, 300V, 350V, 400V, 500V, 650V, 800V
[P-DAMP]
It is used to match the ultrasonic probe, the amplitude, width and resolution of echo display can be
improved by adjusting the damping to adapt to the acoustic impedance of measured material.
Option: 500, 200, 150, 100
Tip: The higher P-VOLT, the larger P-DAMP, the stronger echo; on the contrary, the weaker
echo. Therefore, the general principle of selecting P-VOLT and P-DAMP are as followings.
The material with heavy thick and high attenuation choose high voltage and large damping (dead
zone may increase with it); the material with film thickness and good penetration choose low
voltage and low damping.
You can set the proper P-VOLT and P-DAMP according to the actual situation during use.

P-DAMP
Attention: Do not change the settings after calibration, or to be re-calibrated.

Step3: The instrument calibration (You must calibrate the instrument when using for the first time,
changing the probe and workpiece material)
Before working, you have to calibrate the material velocity, sound path and probe delay according
to the situation of probe and measured block to adapt to inspection condition. The status line shows
the parameters calculation are associated with zero, so ensure that you must calibrate material
velocity and probe zero before testing ; In order to display screen the waveform within the
manual
appropriate sound path range, to judge and evaluate defects better, it is essential to calibrate the
sound path. The chapter 5 introduces the operation in detail.
Attention:
If using conditions and probe have no change, the relevant settings can be load without
re-calibration when use the instrument again.
Step4: Draw DAC curve (non-essential)
DAC curve is used to distinguish the change of the reflector with the same size and different
distance. Under normal circumstances, the same size in the sample but different reflector, material
attenuation and beam spread will cause amplitude changes. DAC curve compensate material
attenuation, near field effects, beam spread and surface smooth by icon. Ideally, after drawing DAC
curve, no matter what position the reflector in the specimens is, the same size reflectors generate
echoes peak on the same curve. Similarly, echo generated by the smaller reflector in the specimen
will fall below the curve, while the larger will falls above the curve. When the DAC curve in need
to inspect, the operation steps are as followings:
First, adjust the display range

capture the two input echo. Please appropriately adjust SET P D value, or use the manual
calibration;
5. The first point is larger than the second of the input point sound path is allowed;

manual
5.2 Dual crystal normal probe calibration
Dual crystal probe calibration method is basically the same as single crystal normal probe, single
crystal normal probe calibration methods can be used in the dual crystal probe calibration, but the
following issues need to note:
1. PB TYPE should be set to Dual crystal;
2. When automatical calibration is carried out, SET P D should be appropriately increased
according to the thickness of delay block;
3. Generally as the dual crystal probe has delay block, the echo is weaker than the single crystal
normal probe, manual calibration required a higher gain amplification.
5.3 Angle probe calibration
The object of the anlge probe calibration: MTLVEL(transverse wave, material velocity), X-VALUE
(incident point), ANGLE/K. They can be divided into two groups about MTVEL, P-DELAY,
incident point calibration and refraction K value. Generally, MTLVEL, P-DELAY, incident point
should be callibrated first, then callibrate refraction K value.
Generally, the requirments of angle probe calibration are CSK-A test block or W test block or
others, rular and couplant.

Calibration steps:
1. MTLVEL, P-DELAY, incident point (X-VALUE) calibration;
2. Detect the round hole with 50mm by probe, test the actual K value of probe employed K value
ruler of the CSK-A and the known X-VALUE. As shown in Figure 5.23;
K2.5
K2.0 K3.0
K1.0 K1.5
Fig. 5.23 Test the K value by CSK-IA ruler
3. The probe coupled to the test block, move it left and right, when you find the maximum echo, the
incident point corresponding interval value is the K value of tested probe.
Tip:
The upper interval value can callibrate the probe that the nominal value is greater than 2, The
bottom interval value can callibrate the probe that the nominal value is not greater than 1. There are
may methods of angle probe calibration, not all calibration adhere to standard test block, the small
holes with known depth also can be used to calibrate.

6 Influence factors of detection accuracy and defects

assessment
Please read the following materials before using, understand and comply with the requirements, it
is very important to avoid missed operation.
6.1 Necessary condition of using ultrasonic flaw detector
1. Operator training.
2. knowledge of testing requirements of the special technology and limitations.
3. Select the appropriate test equipment.
6.1.1 Operator training

The operator who operate the ultrasonic testing machine require formal training in testing methods.
Formal training includes the following understanding. For example:
z The theory of ultrasonic propagation
z The affect of testing material velocity
z The acoustic property of the different material surface
z The affect of acoustic attenuation and surface condition for the tested material on the testing
If the operator lack of these knowledge, unpredictable inspection result may be caused, you can
contact with the NDT associations and our company to obtain the information related to operator
training and certificate.
6.1.2 Technology requirements

Ultrasonic testing must follow the specific technical requirments, the most important requirments
are as followings:
1. Define display range
2. Select the appropriate inspection method
3. Consider the material property
4. Deside the record and eveluation range
6.1.3 Testing range

The signal obtained from ultrasonic testing just involves the part of measured object recovered by
acoustic beam of the probe. It should be careful to apply the conclution obtained from the measured
part to the unmeasured. You can apply these conclutions only under the experience and the right
statistics data.
The acoustic beam can be fully reflected by the interface of measured object, thus the deeper
manual
defects and reflection point may still not detected. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the
detected part of the measured object recovered by the acoustic beam.
6.1.4 Ultrasonic wall thickness measurement

Ultrasonic wall thickness measurement are all based on the measurement of propagation time. The
accurate result needs the constant velocity in the measured object. Velocity changes little in the
measured objected made of steel (And even a variety of alloy composition); this condition usually
can be achieved, only have impact on the precision measurement. Velocity changes may be large in
the other materials (For exaple, non-metallic or plastic), this affecting the measurement accuracy.
6.1.5 Measurement of remaining wall thickness

Measurement for remaining wall thickness of factory equipment (For example, the internal
corrosive and erosive pipes, containers and various reaction vessels ) requires a appropriate
thickness gauge, the selection and operation of the probe should be especiall y paid attention to.
Inspectors should be aware of the corresponding nominal wall thickness of the remaining wall
thickness and possible loss.
6.2 The factors that affect testing accuracy
a) Material
b) Temperature
c) Surface roughness
d) Magnetic field
e) Adherent substance
f) The shape features of defect
g) Acoustic impedance of defect
h) The surface features of defect
i) The selection of inspection method
Every defect located by ultrasonic testing method is based on the measurement of the ultrasonic
echo signals. An important factor which affect the result is that whether the velocity in the test
object is constant or not. Therefore, if you want to realize higher testing accuracy, relatively
constant ultrasonic propagating velocity in the test object will be required.
6.2.1 Material
In the test object like steel, even if it contains a wide variety different alloy compositions, its
velocity is considered a basic constant. However, in a lot of other materials, for example,
non-ferrous metals or plastic, the change of ultrasonic propagation velocity is significant, so it will
affect the measuring accuracy.
If the material of the object to be detected is not isotropic, the material velocity is different in

manual
different direction. In this case, the result must be calculated by the average of velocity within the
test range. The average value is obtained by measuring velocity and the reference test block related
to the average velocity of the test block to be detected.
6.2.2 Temperature
The material velocity changes with the temperature. If the instrument calibration carried out under
the relatively low temperature, however, the instrument is used under the relatively high
temperature, this will cause the result deviate the true value. To avoid temperature affection, the
method is to preheat the reference test block before calibrating the instrument up to using
environment temperature, or the result mutiplied by a affection factor.
6.2.3 Surface roughness

The surface roughness of the inspected workpiece has influence on the inspection, the larger coarse,
the higher affection. Rough surface will arise system error and accidental error, measuring times
should be increase on the different position in each measuring peocess to overcome the accidental
error.
6.2.4 Adherent substance

Clean the adherence substance before inspection to ensure that the probe directly contact with the
surface of tested specimen.
6.2.5 Magnetic field

The strength magnetic field produced by around all electrical equipment would seriously interfere
with testing work.
6.3 Defect assessment methods
Presently, there are basically two different methods of defect assessment:

1. If the diameter of acoustic beam is less than the defect range, acoustic beam can be used to detect
the defect boundary and determine its range.
2. If the diameter of acoustic beam is larger than the defect range, the maximum echo response of
the defect must compare to the maximum echo response of the artificial defect used to compare.
6.3.1 Defect boundary method

The smaller diameter of the probe beam, the more accurate, when the boundary even to the defect
range determined by the defect boundary method. But, if the diameter of the probe beam is wider,
the determined defect range may be obviously different to the actual defect range. You should
carefully chose the probe that its beam is adequate narrow and concentrated obtained from the
manual
defect location.
6.3.2 Echo display comparison method

Generally, the echo of a smaller nature defect is lower than the echo of artificial defect (For
example, disc with the same size). The reason is that the defect surface is rougher or the angle is
poor when the acoustic beam incident into the defect. If the evaluation of natural defects did not
take into account the actual situation, there will be dangerous to underestimate their size.
For the uneven or openning defect, for example, the shrinkage holes in the casting may appear
strong sound scattering for surface of defect boundary, did not produce echo. In this case, another
different analysis method should be chosen, for example, you can choose the bottom echo
attenuation during analysis.
The distance sensitivity of defect echo play an important role in the large parts inspection. When
choosing the artificial defect, you should attention that these defects are identical with the nature
defects that may allocated by the same distance variation regular.
Ultrasonic wave propagates in any material will decay, this acoustic attenuation velocity is usually
small, for example, the part made of steel with fine texture, as well as the small parts made of lots
of other materials included. But, if the acoustic wave propagate longer distance in material, high
cumulative acoustic attenuation will arise (Although the attenuation coefficient of material is small),
this will cause the risk that natural flaw echo is too small. To avoid occur this situation, the
affection of attenuation should be estimated in assessment result, taken into account when
necessary.
If the measured object surface is rough, a part of incident acoustic energy will be scattered at the
object surface, this will affect the detection. The more powerful scattering, the smaller echo, the
greater error when assessing result. Therefore, the surface condition has great impotant effect on
the echo height.
