Curtis — DSC Calibration Block
Carbon Steel Ultrasonic Calibration Block with Protective CaseSKU: DSCCS
Overview
The Curtis DSC Calibration Block is a precision-machined ultrasonic reference standard designed for angle-beam calibration, sensitivity adjustment, and performance verification of ultrasonic testing equipment. Manufactured from carbon steel, the block provides an acoustically representative reference for inspection procedures performed on carbon-steel welds, structures, and industrial components.
Its DSC geometry supports common shear-wave calibration functions, including sound-path adjustment, probe-index verification, refracted-angle evaluation, sensitivity setup, and instrument-response checks. The compact block design makes it suitable for both field and laboratory ultrasonic inspection workflows.
Supplied with a protective case, SKU DSCCS provides an organized and protected calibration solution for NDT technicians, fabrication facilities, maintenance departments, inspection laboratories, and industrial QA/QC teams.
