NM01DSCCASE

The Curtis TYPE DSC Calibration Block is an indispensable reference standard for ultrasonic testing professionals utilizing shear wave transducers. Specifically designed for distance and sensitivity calibration, this block is a crucial tool for ensuring accurate and reliable flaw detection in a variety of materials and applications.  

Manufactured by Curtis Industries, a respected name in non-destructive testing calibration standards, this DSC block is engineered to meet or exceed recognized industry specifications such as ASTM E164 and AWS D1.1/D1.1M. Its precise geometry incorporates key features necessary for comprehensive shear wave transducer calibration. These typically include defined radii (e.g., a 1.0" radius opposite a 3.0" radius), a calibration notch on the larger radius (e.g., 0.375" deep with a 0.032" radius width), a designated 0° reference point, and markings corresponding to a side-drilled hole (e.g., 0.125" diameter) at common shear wave angles such as 45°, 60°, and 70°.  

This offering includes a durable wood case, providing robust protection for the calibration block during storage and transportation. This ensures that the precision-machined surfaces remain free from damage, maintaining the block's accuracy and extending its service life as a reliable calibration standard.
