The DAKOTA NDT 4-Step Calibration Block is an essential tool for accurately calibrating ultrasonic testing (UT) equipment, specifically thickness gauges and flaw detectors. Manufactured from high-strength 4340 steel, this block provides a reliable reference standard due to the material's consistent acoustic properties.

This calibration block features four precisely machined steps of varying thicknesses. A common configuration includes steps at 0.250", 0.500", 0.750", and 1.000 inches, but other specific thickness ranges may be available. These known thicknesses allow technicians to accurately set up and verify the linearity and accuracy of their ultrasonic instruments. By obtaining consistent readings on each step, users can ensure their equipment is providing reliable thickness measurements and flaw detection capabilities.

The 4340 steel construction offers excellent consistency in sound velocity, a critical factor for accurate ultrasonic calibration. Dakota NDT manufactures these blocks to tight tolerances, typically within ±1% of the nominal thickness, ensuring the reliability of the calibration standard.
