Calibration block No. 2 is very much smaller and lighter, and its geometry is much
21、 simpler. Calibration block No. 2 does not offer as much scope as the larger block; in particular it is not meant to check an ultrasonic flaw detector completely. However, calibration block No. 2 makes it possible, during practical testing, to check simply, from time to time, the setting of the time
22、 base and the sensitivity of the ultrasonic equipment. Moreover, it is suited to checking the beam angle and the probe index of miniature angle-beam probes. NOTE Calibration block No. 1 is currently specified in EN 12223. Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Stan
23、dard should be directed to the Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 5 via your national standards body, a complete listing which can be found at www.iso.org. 4EN ISO 7963:2010 (E) DIN EN ISO 7963:2010-12 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the dimensions, material, manufacture and methods of use fo
24、r calibration block No. 2 for calibrating and checking ultrasonic testing equipment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of t
25、he referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

The tolerances are 0,1 mm, except on the length of the engraved scal
27、e where it is 0,5 mm. Average surface roughness values, Ra, are defined in accordance with ISO 4287. The thickness of the block can be greater than 12,5 mm (see A.1). 5 Material The calibration block shall be made of steel of grade S355JO in accordance with EN 10025-1 or equivalent. 5EN ISO 7963:201

29、eous and free from defects revealed by ultrasonic testing (see A.2). In order to obtain a fine grain structure and good homogeneity, before final machining the block shall be heat treated as follows: a) maintain at 920 C for 30 min with water-quenching; b) reheating to 650 C for at least 2 h with co
30、oling in still air. After heat treatment, and prior to machining, the block shall undergo further ultrasonic testing from two different directions at right angles to each other and in the direction of rolling. At least 2 mm shall be removed from all surfaces after heat treatment. All dimensions and
31、surface finishes shall be in accordance with Figure 1. In order to prevent parasitic effects, the depth of the marks of the engraved scale shall be 0,1 mm 0,05 mm. The length of the marks shall be 6 mm and the tolerance on the positioning of the marks shall be 0,2 mm. On completion of machining, a f
32、inal ultrasonic testing shall be carried out. The velocity of longitudinal waves shall be verified as being 5 920 m/s 30 m/s and the velocity of transverse waves shall be verified as being 3 255 m/s 15 m/s. 7 Marking Reference marks on block No. 2 shall be permanently marked as shown in Figure 1. Ad
33、ditionally the block shall be permanently marked with the manufacturers trade mark, the number of this International Standard, and a unique serial number. 8 Method of use 8.1 Setting of the time base To set the time base, the leading edge (left side) of successive echoes shall be adjusted to coincid
34、e with the appropriate scale markings on the screen of the measuring equipment. The pulse-travel time depends on the velocity of ultrasonic waves in the material examined. 8.1.1 Calibration of the time base up to 250 mm with a straight beam probe The position of the probe on the reflective side of t
35、he calibration block shall be as indicated in Figure 2a). Figure 2b) is a schematic representation of the screen (A-scan) of the instrument for calibration of a range of 50 mm. NOTE Depending on the probe and the frequency used, difficulties can arise when calibrating distances greater than 10 times

37、1.2 Calibration of the time base for 100 mm or 125 mm with a miniature angle-beam probe The position of the miniature shear-wave probe on the calibration block shall be as shown in Figure 3a) for a distance of 125 mm and in Figure 3b) for a distance of 100 mm. The screen of the instrument for the ca
38、libration of these two ranges is shown schematically in Figures 3a) and 3b).

39、probe checking 8.2.1 General A large number of factors can influence the sensitivity setting (see A.3). 8.2.2 Longitudinal-wave probes Sensitivity setting The probe shall be placed in position “a” as indicated in Figure 4. The A-scan representing the successive echoes shall be used as a reference fo
40、r setting sensitivity. The reflection from the 5 mm diameter hole, position “b” in Figure 4 may also be used, the probe being placed so that the corresponding echo amplitude is at its maximum. Figure 4 Straight-beam probes Sensitivity setting 8.2.3 Miniature shear-wave probes 8.2.3.1 Sensitivity set
41、ting The maximum echo from the 5 mm diameter hole shall be used as a reference for setting sensitivity (see Figure 5, position “a”). Figure 5 Miniature angle-beam probes Sensitivity setting Alternatively, it is possible to make use of the reflections from the cylindrical surfaces of radii 50 mm and
42、25 mm, respectively. In this case, there are two possibilities: a) by using a calibrated gain control, the amplitude of the echo from the cylindrical surface is initially set to 80 % of screen height and subsequently adjusted to the level desired (see Figure 5, position “b”); b) without the use of a
43、 calibrated gain control, the successive echoes from the cylindrical surfaces can be used for the adjustment of sensitivity (see Figure 6). 9EN ISO 7963:2010 (E) DIN EN ISO 7963:2010-12 When checking probes, the acoustic coupling is an important factor, and when comparing probes, the same coupling m
44、edium shall be used. Figure 6 Miniature angle-beam probes Sensitivity setting without calibrated gain control 8.2.3.2 Determination of the position of the probe index The miniature angle-beam probe shall be positioned as shown in Figures 3a) or 3b) and moved parallel to the main faces of the calibra
45、tion block until the amplitude of the echo from the cylindrical surface has reached its maximum. The probe index coincides with the centre mark of the millimetre scale of the block. 8.2.3.3 Determination of beam angle The echo obtained from the 5 mm diameter hole is used to determine the beam angle.
46、 The miniature shear-wave probe shall be moved parallel along the main faces of the calibration block until the amplitude of the echo from the 5 mm diameter hole has reached its maximum. The beam angle is obtained either by direct reading of the scale engraved on the calibration block, coinciding wi
47、th the index mark of the probe, or by interpolation if the position found does not coincide with one of the scale lines. The positions shown in Figure 7 make it possible to check beam angles of 45, 60 and 70 probes. Figure 7 Miniature angle-beam probes Determination of beam angle 10EN ISO 7963:2010
