Calibration With A Straight-Beam Probe - Epson USN 52R Operating Manual

Operation
Recommendation:
As long as the echoes to be evaluated indicate a dis-
tinct maximum amplitude, select the PEAK mode of
measurement.
Basic adjustment:
Before calibrating the instrument, you must carry out
the following basic adjustment:
Group Function
BASIC DELAY
RANGE

Calibration with a straight-beam probe

Known sound velocity, no delay block
– Set sound velocity MTL VEL
– Position Gate a over one of the echoes
– Adjust ZERO so that the correct "S=..."-value is
indicated in the measurement line.
Example:
Carry out the calibration on a flat calibration block V1
(thickness: 25 mm) for a calibration range of 100 mm.
5-18
– Set RANGE to 100 mm
– Set known sound velocity MTL VEL (5920 m/s)
– Position the gate over the first calibration echo out of
25 mm
– Adjust ZERO so that "S=25.0" is displayed in the
measurement line
The display range is now calibrated for the described
Setting
task.
0.000 ms
Sound velocity unknown, no delay block
adjust
– Set MEASURE to MULTECHO
– Set the gates so that the first echo is evaluated in
Gate a and the second echo in Gate b.
Attention: Be careful of node errors when adjusting
the threshold!
– Adjust the sound velocity MTL VEL until the
displayed reading (sound path between the two
backwall echoes) corresponds to the actual
thickness of the test object. If necessary, you have
to readjust the gate parameters.
– Set MEASURE to 0 TO 1st
