NM01DCCS

The Curtis DC Calibration Block is a precision-engineered reference standard essential for accurately calibrating your ultrasonic testing (UT) equipment for shear wave inspections. Manufactured from high-quality 1018 steel, this block provides consistent acoustic properties crucial for reliable calibration.  

To ensure longevity and maintain its accuracy, this DC calibration block features a durable nickel plating. This protective layer offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, safeguarding your investment and guaranteeing consistent performance over time. The block is specifically designed with the required radii (typically a 1.0" radius overlaying a 2.0" radius on a 180° segment) to meet the stringent calibration requirements of industry standards such as AWS (American Welding Society) and ASTM E164.  

For secure storage and easy transportation, this DC calibration block comes complete with a robust hard case. This protective case ensures that your calibration standard remains in optimal condition when not in use or during transit. Furthermore, a Certificate of Conformance is often included, providing traceability and verification of the block's precise specifications.
