NM01DSCBLOCKICS
The PH Tool DSC Calibration Block is a crucial reference standard for ultrasonic testing, specifically designed for shear wave distance and sensitivity calibration. Manufactured by PH Tool, a reputable provider of high-quality NDT calibration standards, this block ensures dimensional accuracy and reliable performance in accordance with industry recognized specifications such as ASTM E164 and AWS D1.1/D1.1M.
This DSC block, made from durable Carbon Steel and featuring inch dimensions, incorporates specific geometric features essential for comprehensive shear wave transducer calibration. These typically include a 1.0" radius opposite a 3.0" radius. The 3.0" radius includes a precisely machined notch (e.g., 0.375" deep x 0.032" wide radius), which is critical for establishing shear wave sensitivity levels. Additionally, the block features a 0° reference point for verifying the probe exit point on wedges, and a side-drilled hole (e.g., 0.125" diameter) with corresponding markings at 45°, 60°, and 70°. These allow for accurate measurement of the actual refracted angle of shear wave transducers.
This robust calibration block is essential for ensuring accurate and repeatable shear wave inspections, contributing to reliable flaw detection and characterization.
