3、pril 2006.1. Scope1.1 This standard practice describes the construction anduse of a calibration device for demonstrating the anomalydetection capability of interferometric laser imaging nonde-structive tire inspection system. A common practice within theindustry is to refer to these systems as shear

4、ographic/holographic (S/H) systems.1.2 This standard practice applies to S/H systems that areused for evaluating the structural integrity of pneumatic tires,(for example, presence or absence of anomalies within the tire).1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any

5、, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

F 5384. Summary of Practice4.1 The straining block is designed to create an image of aknown anomaly against

10、 which the performance of the S/Hsystem may be evaluated. The block is constructed by securinga flexible membrane over a rigid block that contains a series ofholes of various sizes and shapes. The membrane should bemade of a material that retains its physical properties over timewith minimal aging e

11、ffects. The interior holes in the block areeither vented to atmospheric pressure or sealed at a nominalpressure, allowing a differential pressure to exist on themembrane when the block is subjected to a vacuum. It is thedeflection of the surface under this differential pressure that ismeasured by th

12、e S/H system. The thickness of material must beselected to give deflections that are representative of thoseassociated with anomalies found in a tire.4.2 The size of the holes in a straining block can be used todetermine the sensitivity of the S/H system. Generally, largerholes are more readily dete

13、ctable. However, it is possible for apoorly calibrated S/H system to detect some small holes andmiss very large ones. Therefore, a calibration block shouldcontain holes of varying diameter and depth, consistent withthe range of anomaly sizes that are expected in use of the S/Hsystem. Typically, the

17、e version of the straining blocks is shown inFig. 2.4.3 These straining blocks shall be placed in a series oflocations within the S/H system to confirm the detectability ofanomalies over the entire field of view within the S/H system.Alternately, a straining block can be designed to be rectangularin

18、 shape with proportions covering the systems field of viewwith anomalies located at each corner, allowing assessment ofthe entire field of view in a single inspection. An example of atypical straining block holding fixture is shown in Fig. 1.Straining blocks may also be integrated into the design of

19、 theS/H machine.4.4 By studying the presence and clarity of the fringepatterns obtained from each straining block an assessment ofmachine calibration may be made. Adjustments such as opticalalignment, laser power, vacuum level, beam ratio modifica-tions, multiple exposure, viewer maintenance and oth

20、er alter-ations shall be made to optimize the ability to detect the varioushole sizes in the straining blocks.5. Significance and Use5.1 All S/H systems change with time and use. Therefore, acalibration procedure for evaluating the operation of an S/Hsystem is desirable. This calibration procedure p

21、rovides amethod of obtaining an optimized interferometric image pat-tern associated with a given size anomaly.5.2 The use of straining blocks as calibration devicesprovides a means for ensuring the continued optimal perfor-mance of the S/H system. Straining blocks can also be used tocompare performa

22、nce of S/H systems in different facilities.5.3 At not greater than a three (3) month interval the S/Hsystem shall be calibrated following the procedures describedin this practice. When necessary, adjustments, repairs, ormodifications shall be made to the S/H system until it is able toobserve, in the

23、 same image, all anomalies of size within therange of interest contained in the straining blocks.6. Preparation of the Straining Blocks6.1 One configuration of straining blocks is shown in Fig. 2.Alternative configurations and layouts are acceptable, providedthey meet the requirements detailed in th

A detaileddescription of how to manufacture the blocks can be obtained,upon request, fromASTM.3Most suppliers of S/H systems willproved a calibration standard with void sizes varying through-out the range of interest.6.2 Fig. 1 shows a fixture that can be used for holding oneor the othe

25、r straining blocks. Straining blocks may also beintegrated into the design of the S/H machine.7. Procedure7.1 One or more straining blocks shall be mounted atvarious locations within the field of coverage of the S/Hsystem. This is to simulate the surface locations of a tire beinginspected.7.2 The S/

26、H system is then operated through an inspectioncycle and the resultant shearograms/holograms are observedusing a laser viewer or other viewing device. All anomalies ofdiameters within the range of interest must be observable withclearly recognizable fringes or indications throughout theimage of the

28、.2 Record relevant machine operating and setup param-eters (including, where applicable, but not limited to linevoltage, laser output power, exposure time, shear angle, anddifferential vacuum) on the calibration report. Where thesystem can support variable imaging head positions, thelocation (angle

29、and distance) of the head relative to thecalibration fixture should also be recorded.8.3 Record a brief description of the machine adjustments,repairs or modifications that were made during the calibrationprocess.8.4 The calibration reports and the actual shearograms/holograms or any record of them
