The PH Tool Phased Array Type "A" Calibration Block is an essential tool for the initial setup, calibration, and performance verification of phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) instruments. Manufactured from 1018 carbon steel and adhering to metric specifications (PH Tool Drawing No: 10217), this block is specifically engineered to address the unique requirements of phased array applications. It is supplied with a protective wood case for secure storage and transportation.

This "Type A" block, while sharing similar overall dimensions with an IIW-Type block (25.0 mm thick x 100.0 mm tall x 300.0 mm long), incorporates a range of features specifically designed for PAUT. These features enable technicians to perform critical calibration tasks such as beam angle verification, wedge delay calibration, sensitivity calibration, and performing Distance Amplitude Correction (DAC) or Time Corrected Gain (TCG).

The metric version of this block includes:

• Two radii: 100.0 mm and 50.0 mm, for surface contour calibration.

• Nineteen (19) through holes at 1.0 mm diameter, for sensitivity and resolution checks.

• One (1) through hole at 2.0 mm diameter.

• Four (4) Flat Bottom Holes (FBHs) at 2.0 mm diameter with depths of 2.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 6.0 mm, and 8.0 mm, for amplitude and depth calibration.

• Four (4) Flat Bottom Holes (FBHs) at 4.0 mm diameter with depths of 1.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 5.0 mm, and 7.0 mm, for amplitude and depth calibration.

• Three (3) Flat Bottom Holes (FBHs) at 2.0 mm diameter x 3.0 mm deep, machined into the 50 mm radius, for curved surface calibration.

• Four (4) EDM notches of varying depths for flaw sizing and characterization exercises.

The inclusion of a fitted wood case ensures the block remains protected from damage, preserving its calibration accuracy and extending its lifespan.
