PH TOOL ASTM E2491 Phased Array Assessment Block (Inch Version) - 1018 Steel

Unlock the full potential of your Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) system with this PH TOOL ASTM E2491 Phased Array Assessment Block. Precisely machined from durable 1018 Steel, this inch-version calibration block (often referred to as a "Type B" block) is an indispensable standard for comprehensive beam characterization, system evaluation, and long-term performance monitoring of your phased array equipment.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Comprehensive PAUT Assessment: This block is engineered with a variety of targets to evaluate critical phased array system performance characteristics, including:

  • Beam Characterization: Analyze the shape and profile of your ultrasonic beam.

  • Beam Steering Capability: Verify the accuracy of your probe's ability to steer the beam at different angles.

  • Focusing Ability: Assess the quality of your probe's focal laws.

  • Linear & Angular Resolution: Determine the system's ability to differentiate between closely spaced reflectors.

  • DAC Curve Generation: Create accurate Distance Amplitude Correction (DAC) curves.

  • Long-Term Performance Monitoring: Use as a baseline to track changes in instrument performance over time, indicating potential issues or maintenance needs.

• ASTM E2491 Standard Compliant: Manufactured precisely to the specifications of ASTM E2491, ensuring that your calibrations and assessments adhere to recognized industry standards.

• Diverse Array of Targets: The block features a complex geometry designed to challenge and evaluate phased array capabilities, including:

  • Four (4) angled holes (30°, 45°, 60°, and 75°) at 1/16" (0.0625") diameter.

  • An array of 18 holes on a 1" radius at 0.040" diameter (with 5.0° angular separation).

  • An array of 18 holes on a 2" radius at 5/64" (0.0781") diameter (with 5.0° angular separation).

  • A vertical column of 16 holes at 0.040" diameter with 0.120" separation.

  • An angled row of 12 holes at 1/16" (0.0625") diameter with 0.200" separation.

  • Machine-engraved tick marks at radii centerline, block description, alloy, and unique serial number for traceability.

• Durable 1018 Steel Construction: Crafted from high-quality 1018 Steel, known for its consistent acoustic properties, ensuring long-term stability and reliability in demanding NDT environments. The block is also typically nickel-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance.

• Ideal for Demonstrations: Its comprehensive set of targets and compact size make it an excellent block for customer demonstrations of phased array ultrasonic capabilities.

• PH TOOL Quality: As a product from PH TOOL, you are guaranteed a precision-manufactured calibration block from a world-renowned leader in NDT reference standards.
