Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 1- 3 Software Based on the present state of the art software can never be completely error-free. That is why software-controlled instruments should be checked before use to see if the necessary functions operate perfectly in the provided combination.
1- 4 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Operator training The operator of an ultrasonic flaw detector must be adequately trained in the field of ultrasonic test meth- ods.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 1- 5 Limits of testing Ultrasonic tests can only provide information about those parts of the test object which the sound beam from the probe used has actually passed through.
1- 6 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Effect of temperature variations The velocity of sound within the test object also varies as a function of the temperature of the material. This can cause appreciable errors if the instrument has been calibrated on a cold calibration block and is then used on a warm or hot test object.

Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 17 5 .3 USN 52R/USN 52L calibration Calibration of display range Before you operate the instrument, you must calibrate it. Depending on the material and the dimensions of the test object, the sound velocity and the calibration range have to be set and the probe delay taken into consider- ation.
5- 18 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L 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 Setting BASIC DELA Y 0.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 19 – Increase ZERO until the correct sound path value for the echo is displayed. Example: – Carry out calibration on a 25 mm thick test piece for a calibration range of 100 mm. – Set RANGE to 100 mm – Set ZERO to 0.
5- 20 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Calibration with angle-beam probes Known sound velocity In this case, it is sufficient when there is an echo from a known reflector with a known distance, e.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 21 Example: Calibration on a semicylinder having a radius of R=50 mm at a test range of 200 mm. – Set RANGE to 200 mm. – Set DELA Y and ZERO to 0. – Set MEASURE to MUL TECHO. – Couple the probe and peak the echoes.
5- 22 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Higher sound velocity Due to the V -path error , a higher sound velocity than the test material is required when calibrating, especially with smaller thicknesses. This is typical of dual (T/R) probes and acts as compensation of the V -path error .
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 23 Operation: – In the function CAL press N and O simultaneously . The function is now enabled. – REC 0 is displayed, indicating that no calibration echo has been recordet yet. – Set the gate onto the first calibration echo and enter the sound path in S-REF using M .
5- 24 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L MEASURE: MUL TECHO – for measurement between the first echoes in the gate sections. Above all, this setting is suitable for thickness measurement in the multiecho sequences. TOF: According to the application.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 25 5. 4 DAC/TCG The DAC/TCG function enables you to: • record a Distance-Amplitude Curve and to store it as an essential part of the current data set. • display the Distance-Amplitude Curve (DAC) of the reference echoes.
5- 26 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Function group TCG With these functions you can operate all DAC/TCG modes. Use C to go to the function group TCG : DAC/TCG mode With this function you can determine the DAC/TCG mode: OFF: No DAC/TCG is active.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 27 • The two settings DAC and TCG can only be switched on if a curve was recorded beforehand, or if a data set containing a curve was recalled. REC: Use this setting to prepare the instrument for the recording of a DAC curve.
5- 28 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L 5 .5 Recording a Distance- Amplitude Curve A Attention: Recording of a new curve will delete a curve that possi- bly already exists. If necessary , make sure that the old curve is stored in a free data set before you start re- cording a new curve! Use C to go to the function group DAC .
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 29 – Continue to proceed in this way until all available reference echoes are recorded. – Switch on the curve now by setting the DAC/TCG function to DAC : The record mode is automatically switched off, the curve is displayed, and all echo indications can be evaluated relative to this curve.
5- 30 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L H Note: If the DAC/TCG is active, the symbol T is additionally displayed in the status line: Operation Recording a Distance-Amplitude Curve 5- 30 Issu.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 31 5 .6 Echo evaluation with DAC/TCG T o be able to evaluate a flaw indication by means of the DAC/TCG, certain requirements have to be met: • The Distance-Amplitude Curve must already be recorded. • It only applies to the same probe that was used for recording the curve.
5- 32 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L DAC mode – Peak the echo of an assumed flaw and shift the gate so that the echo data are evaluated. – Y ou can read the sound path in the measurement line and, in addition with angle-beam probes, the (reduced) projection distance and the flaw depth.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Issue 05, 02/00 5- 33 TCG mode A Attention: An echo amplitude evaluation as measurement of the difference to the reference echo is only possible if the reference height (height of the first reference echo) stored during the reference echo recording still applies.
5- 34 Issue 05, 02/00 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L 5. 7 Measuring thickness USN 52R/USN 52L enable you to measure thickness and distance in a simple way . The measured value is directly displayed.

DGS-20 I ssue 02, 03/99 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Option DGS H Note: Before entering the probe parameters, please read the probe data sheet. – Enter the material velocity in the probe delay line (function DEL-VEL ). – T ag the mid column of the DGS function group: J or C – Enter the element diameter .
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Option DGS Issue 02, 03/99 DGS-21 For the reference echo you need a test block with a known reflector . This reflector can be one of the follow- ing types: • backwall • disk-shaped reflector • side-drilled hole.
DGS-22 I ssue 02, 03/99 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Option DGS H Note: There are 13 probes with the corresponding parameters stored in the unit. Y ou can enter a probe of your own at probe number 16, please refer to Storing a new probe , Chapter 3. H Note: All of the following parameters must be programmed in order to generate a DGS curve.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Option DGS Issue 02, 03/99 DGS-23 Example: If the surface of the test object is greatly corroded and the reference echo originates from a smooth surface reference block, then the sensitivity is reduced (e.g. by 8 dB). Correspondingly , the value for the transfer correction must be entered negative , e.
DGS-24 I ssue 02, 03/99 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Option DGS H Note: If the reference echo symbol does not appear , no refer- ence echo was recorded. Possible reasons are: • The reference echo is outside of the monitor gate. • The amplitude of the refernce echo is either too low or too high.
Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Option DGS Issue 02, 03/99 DGS-25 The display shows a DGS curve: If you vary the reference gain, the curve moves verti- cally up or down, depending on the direction in which you are varying the gain. This is used for dynamic ex- tension beyond the visible section of the curve.
DGS-26 I ssue 02, 03/99 Krautkramer USN 52R/USN 52L Option DGS H Note: If the DGS function is switched on while you vary a parameter that affects the stored reference echo, or when you use another probe, the following message is displayed: “ Clear REF and confirm with HOME ” This text remains blinking on the display for a few sec- onds.
