NM01RCBLOCK

The Curtis RC (AWS Resolution) Block is an indispensable calibration standard for ultrasonic testing (UT) professionals who prioritize accurate flaw detection and characterization. Precision-machined from high-quality 1018 steel, this block is specifically engineered to evaluate the resolution capabilities of your angle beam transducers, ensuring optimal performance for critical inspections.  

Designed in accordance with stringent AWS (American Welding Society) standards (referencing specifications within AWS D2.0 and ANSI/AWS D1.1), the RC Block features a carefully designed configuration of three sets of precisely drilled 0.0625 inch (1/16") diameter through-holes. These holes are strategically positioned at angles of 45°, 60°, and 70°, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of your transducer's resolution across a range of inspection angles.

This versatile block caters to both inch and metric measurement systems, making it a valuable asset for a wide range of applications. The design inherently addresses both standard systems, simplifying your calibration procedures.

Manufactured by Curtis, a trusted name in NDT calibration standards, the RC (AWS Resolution) Block provides the confidence you need in your ultrasonic testing results.
