Curtis — Type DS Calibration Block

Carbon Steel Ultrasonic Calibration Block with Wooden Storage Case
SKU: DS001

Overview

The Curtis Type DS Calibration Block is a precision-machined reference standard designed for setup, calibration, and performance verification of ultrasonic testing equipment. Manufactured from carbon steel, the block provides an acoustically representative reference for UT procedures performed on carbon-steel welds, components, and fabricated structures.

Its Type DS geometry supports ultrasonic instrument and transducer checks according to the applicable inspection procedure. The block can be used to establish reference responses, verify system performance, and support repeatable equipment setup before and during ultrasonic examinations.

Supplied with a wooden storage case, SKU DS001 provides a protected calibration solution for NDT technicians, fabrication facilities, inspection laboratories, maintenance departments, and industrial QA/QC teams.
