Variables of an Ultrasonic Examination Procedure
2.0 REFERENCES
2.1 The latest revision, or revision stated in the contract, of the following referenced
documents is applicable to and /or form the basis of this procedure:
2.1.1 ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section V “Nondestructive
Examination”
2.1.2 ASTM E-114 “Recommended Practice for Ultrasonic Pulse-Echo Straight-
Beam Testing by the Contact Method
2.1.3 ASTM E-317 “Standard Practice for Evaluating Performance
Characteristics of Ultrasonic Pulse-Echo Testing Systems without the Use
of Electronic Measuring Instruments”.
21..4 ASTM E-797 “Standard Practice for Measuring Thickness by Manual
Ultrasonic Pulse-Echo Contact Method”
2.1.5 ASNT SNT-TC-1A, CP-189.
linearity, paragraph 8.5 and amplitude control linearity, paragraph 8.6, shall
be verified every 3 months or prior to first use thereafter.
4.1.3 The instrument shall be calibrated at intervals no longer than 12 months to
reference standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and
Technologies (NIST) and meet or exceed the manufacturer’s tolerances and
specifications.4.1.4. Any frequency and size search unit may be selected as
long as it is capable of resolving the thickness range being measured,
provided that it meets the manufacturer’s recommendations and client
specifications.
4.1.5 The search unit may be single element, delay line, or dual element contact
transducers.
4.1.5.1 Search unit selected shall have sufficient crystal to surface contact
to produce stable readings. On smaller diameter pipe, 3.50” and less,
a small diameter search unit or curved standoff shoe may be
required.
4.2 Couplant may be water, glycerin, oil, grease or specially formulated commercially
available materials.
4.2.1 Inhibitors and/or wetting agents may be used.
4.2.2 The chemical interaction or the corrosive nature of any couplant with the
material(s) being examined will be considered when making the choice of
couplant.
4.3 The reference standards material from which the block is fabricated shall be of the
same product form, material specification or equivalent P- Number grouping, and
heat treatment as the material being examined. The finish on the scanning surface
of the block shall be representative fo the scanning surface on the material to be
examined and:
4.3.1 Shall have at least three steps:
4.3.1.1 The thinner step shall have a thickness within +10% of the value
stated in the column marked “Lower step” of table 2 for the
thickness range to be tested.
4.3.1.2 The thicker step shall have a thickness within +10% of the value

6.5.2 Place the transducer on the test material in an area with a uniform back-wall
reflection free from any indications and representative of sound material.
6.5.3 Observe the signal level and adjust the gain control to produce the same
signal height or response as noted from the calibration block. Note the gain
control setting.
6.5.4 Subtract the gain control value in 6.5.1 from that in 6.5.3. This number
(positive or negative) is the gain transfer.
6.6 Scanning sensitivity.
6.6.1 Place the transducer on the object step and maximize the response from the
flat bottom hole. Observe the signal level and adjust the gain control to
produce a signal that is 80% FSH.
6.6.2 Repeat the steps in paragraph 6.4 and verify the system meets the required
tolerance.
6.6.3 Add the gain transfer amount (6.5.4) to the reference setting (6.6.1). This is
the gain control sensitivity setting for scanning.
6.7 All calibrations shall be recorded. The setup parameters used, including gain,
percent screen height setting, time of calibration and the identification of the
operator performing the calibration.
two indications.
8.5.3 With the larger set at 80% of full screen height (FSH), and without moving
the search unit, adjust gain to successively set the larger indication from
100% to 20% of full screen height in 10% increments.
8.5.4 Read the smaller indication at each setting. The smaller reading must be
50% of the larger reading amplitude, within 5% of FSH. The settings and
readings must be estimated to the nearest 1% of FSH.
8.5.5 Record all data and conformance on a UT Instrument Verification Report
form (attached).
8.6 Amplitude control linearity
8.6.1 Couple a longitudinal transducer, 2.25 to 5.0 MHz, to a DS block (or
equivalent) so that the 4 inch back-reflection is peaked on the screen (figure
3 position B).
8.6.2 With an increase and decrease in gain, as shown in table 3, the indication
must fall within the specified limits.
8.6.3 Record conformance on a UT Instrument Verification Report form
(attached 1).
