18、 not describe methods and acceptance criteria to characterise the performance of an ultrasonic phased array instrument or the performance of a combined system. These are described in prEN ISO 18563-1 and in prEN ISO 18563-3. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are no

In addition to the ultrasonic phased array instrumentation or laboratory pulser-receiver, the following equipment or its equivalent is essential to test phased array probes in ac

Depending on this, the performance tests shall be carried out under corresponding conditions: a) Contact technique with wedge (integrated or not integrated); A block of the same material as the wedge and proper dimensions so that the

38、 total ultrasonic path is the same for each element shall be used; If the wedge can be removed, the test shall preferably be performed without the wedge. b) Contact technique without wedge; A block of the material to be tested shall be used so that the total ultrasonic path is the same for each elem

42、 and for physical damage. For contact probes measure the flatness of the contact surface of the probe. 7.2.2 Acceptance criterion For flat faced probes, over the whole probe face the gap shall not be larger than 0,05 mm. 7.3 Frequency, bandwidth and pulse duration 7.3.1 General Measurements shall be

The frequency spectrum shall be determined on the signal in the used time window. The frequencies intersecting the spectrum at -6 dB of the maximum amplit

45、ude of the spectrum shall be determined.
