Calibration in NDT EquipmentDi sampaikan pada Seminar GMF, 24 November 2009
Six Most Common NDT Methods Visual Eddy Current Ultrasonic Magnetic Dye Penetrant Radiography
Visual InspectionMost basic and common inspection method.
Tools include fiberscopes, borescopes, needs calibration on the tips for measurement accuracy
Visual CalibrationVerification Block 4 Measurement Targets on each Block:Forward StereoSide StereoForward ShadowSide Shadow
Each target allows a distance measurement of 0.1 Inch or 1 MM. Traceable to NIST Standards
Eddy Current Testingmagnetic field Crack detection Coating thickness measurements Conductivity measurements
EC Calibration
Ultrasonic Inspection (Pulse-Echo) High frequency sound waves are introduced into a material and they are reflected back from surfaces or flaws.
Reflected sound energy is displayed versus time, and inspector can visualize a cross section of the specimen showing the depth of features that reflect sound and need calibration for horizontal linearity.

Dye Penetrant InspectionStep 1. Pre-CleaningEnsure surface is very Clean normally with the use of a solvent
Dye Penetrant InspectionStep 2. Apply penetrantAfter the application of the penetrant the penetrant is normally left on the components surface for approximately 15 minutes (dwell time). The penetrant enters any defects that may be present by capillary action
Dye Penetrant InspectionStep 3. Clean off penetrantAfter sufficient penetration time (dwell time) has be given the penetrant is removed, care must be taken not to wash any penetrant out off any defects present
Dye Penetrant InspectionStep 3. Apply developerAfter the penetrant has be cleaned sufficiently a thin even layer of developer is applied. The developer acts as a contrast against the penetrant and allows for reverse capillary action to take place
