16.5 Notches in alternate calibration block shall be located not closer than thickness of the part or
25 mm whichever is greater, to any block edge or another notch.
16.6 The minimum calibration block length shall be 200 mm or 8T whichever is greater. For 100
mm OD or less the minimum arc length shall be 270 degree.
16.7 Notch depth shall be minimum 8%T to 11%T maximum. Notch width shall be 1 mm
(maximum) and length shall be 25 mm (minimum).

17.0 PHASED ARRAY SYSTEM CALIBRATION


17.1 The surface of the calibration block shall correspond to the component surface to be
examined. System calibration shall include the complete ultrasonic examination system. The
system calibration information shall be recorded on the ultrasonic data report form used in
Omni scan®. During scanning, only the gain may be adjusted from the calibrated reference
dB. Adjustment of other controls requires recalibration.
17.2 WEDGE DELAY CALIBRATION
a) The wedge delay calibration shall be carried out for both linear scan and as well as
sectorial scan. The wedge delay calibration shall be carried out in true depth mode and
done with a known reflector depth.
b) Peak up the signal from the calibration reflector and scan the phased array probe
backwards through all the different angles or focal laws. Scan forward over the
calibration reflector through all the refracted angles of focal laws. When the signal for
all angles and focal laws lies within the threshold, calibrate the Omni scan system to
adjust all the focal laws / angles to display the reflector’s true depth. Figure 17.2 shows
the wedge delay calibration window.

17.3 SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION


a) The sensitivity calibration shall provide the required gain adjustments for each refracted
angle and sound path used. Select a calibration reflector, which is approximately one-
half the thickness of the component to be examined, or within the zone of material to be
examined.
b) Peak up the signal from the calibration reflector and scan the phased array probe
backwards through all the different angles/focal laws. Scan forward over the calibration
reflector through all the refracted angles/focal laws. Calibrate the Omni scan System to
calculate the required gain needed at each focal law to adjust the amount of gain
required to obtain the sensitivity. Figure 17.3 shows the example of screen feature used to
ensure the sensitivity response (amplitude response) from each focal law. After
calibration, as the operator moves the probe back and forth over a calibration reference
reflector, unit software automatically adjusts gain to the prescribed amplitude 80% with
+5% tolerance limit. The horizontal scale is the virtual probe aperture (VPA) which
defines the group of elements i.e. focal law that is sequenced in the scan. These focal laws
are either linear or sectorial depending on whether E-scan or S-scans is being calibrated.

17.4 TIME CORRECTED GAIN (TCG) CALIBRATION
Time corrected gain calibration shall be used to compensate for attenuation in the material at
the sound paths used during calibration and examination. To obtain the TCG calibration as
per calibration block shown in Fig. 16.1, peak the signal from the 1T hole and move the gate
over the indication. Obtain the first TCG point. Similarly the gate is moved for 2T and 3T
depths in the additional calibration block. Obtained 2 nd and 3rd TCG point and accept the
calibration. TCG calibration has to be carried out for all scan plans in a multi group option
while using phased array probe.
Similar procedure shall be followed for alternate calibration block as per Fig. 16.4.

17.5 ENCODER CALIBRATION


a) Encoder calibration shall be carried out for step resolution for data acquisition.
b) The encoder shall be connected to the Omni Scan equipment and the calibration wizard
shall be used to calibrate the encoder.
c) Through the menu wizard set up, all the parameters are fed and the encoder is made to
scroll on a pre- determined known length (Circumferential length of pipe) as illustrated in
Figure 17.5. After one full rotation from position 0 to 0 as shown below the calibration
shall be accepted by presetting the origin and the length of travel. This will result in
number of steps/mm (32.08 steps/mm) value for the attached encoder thus giving true
length of scan.

17.6 The examination system calibration shall be stored in the OmniScan System with electronic
memory, on an external chip or data storage device. This calibration may be used at a later
date provided that the system calibration is verified prior to the examination.
18.0 DIRECTION AND EXTENT OF SCANNING
18.1 Prior to start of the PAUT Examination, the base metal and HAZ area shall be scanned
manually with normal beam probe to locate reflectors that can limit the capability of the
PAUT inspection to examine the weld volume. Locations and areas of such reflectors and
base metal thickness shall be recorded. Olympus OmniScan® equipment’s conventional UT
channel may be used for this inspection.
18.2 The ultrasonic examination shall include the volume of the weld plus 25 % of t (thickness) on
each side of the weld. The required volume of the base material and weld to be examined
shall be scanned from outer surface using a linear scanning technique with encoder.
18.3 OmniScan® system has the capability of using multiple-group settings to establish sector
scans and E-scans for the appropriate angles to ensure complete coverage of the weld and
heat affected zone. Scanning
Skew 90° shall be performed using a Line scan technique. Each line scan
shall be parallel to the weld using a sectorial scan (S-scan) and /or a linear scan as shown in
Figure 18.0.

18.4 Scanning speed shall be such that drop-out is less than 2 data lines per 25 mm of the linear
scan length and there are no adjacent data line skips. OmniScan equipment has the capability
of rewriting the data if loss of data is observed. The encoder is retrieved back to home
position whenever data is missed. Missing data is represented by dark black lines in the C-
scan display.
18.5 For S-scan techniques, the angular sweep incremental change shall be a maximum of 1
degree or sufficient to assure 50% beam overlap.
19.0 AUTOMATIC ALARM AND OR RECORDING EQUIPMENT
19.1 Automatic alarm shall not be used.
19.2 An encoder interfaced with the Omni Scan® phased array instrument shall be use to track the
phased array probe movement and data recording. The encoder shall be calibrated to
coordinate its movement with the Omni Scan instrument. The Omni Scan system incorporates
encoder calibration as well as scan resolution. The smaller the resolution the higher is the
data file length for a given weld length.
20.0 CALIBRATION CONFIRMATION
20.1 When any part of the examination system is changed, a calibration check shall be made on
the basic calibration block to verify that distance range point and sensitivity settings satisfy
the requirements of 20.3 and 20.4.
20.2 A calibration check on at least one of the reflectors in the basic calibration block shall be
performed at the finish of each examination or series of similar examinations and when
examination personnel are changed.
20.3 Sweep Range Correction.
If any distance range point has moved on the sweep line by more than 10% of the distance
reading or 5% of full sweep, whichever is greater, correct the sweep range calibration and
note the correction in the examination record. If reflectors are recorded on the examination
report, those examination reports shall be marked void and a new calibration shall be
recorded. All recorded indications since the last valid calibration shall be re-examined with

20.4 Sensitivity setting
If any sensitivity setting changed by more than 20% or 2 dB of its amplitude, correct the
sensitivity calibration. If the sensitivity setting has decreased, all examination reports since
the last valid calibration or calibration check shall be marked void and the area covered by
the data marked void shall be re-examined. If the sensitivity setting has increased all
recorded indications since the last valid calibration or calibration check shall be re-
examined and their values shall be changed on the examination reports

21.0 FLAW SIZING

has been isolated and the image normalized. An overlay feature allows the analyst to
generate a composite image using several set of ultrasonic data. All data displayed in
analysis mode shall be displayed with respect to the physical co-ordinates of the component.

22.0 RECORDING / EVALUATION and AMPLITUDE DETERMINATION


22.1 A-scan data shall be recorded for the area of interest in an unprocessed form with no
thresholding, at a minimum digitization rate of five times the examination frequency and
recording increments of a maximum of 1 mm for material less than 75 mm thick.
22.2 Welds that have discontinuities and produce a response greater than 20% of the reference
level shall be investigated to the extent that ultrasonic examination personnel can determine
their shape, identify and location. Such indications shall be evaluated for acceptance in
accordance with Para 23.0.
22.3 All indications above 50% of reference level shall be recorded and documented on the
examination report.
22.4 Signals which are determined to result from geometrical conditions (such as weld root
geometry or weld reinforcement) are classified as geometrical reflectors. Such reflectors
shall not be considered as flaw indications or compared with allowable indication standards.
22.5 The presence of geometric reflectors is confirmed either by reviewing the fabrication
drawings of the weld preparation, the previous Inspection Records or by supplemental
inspection results.
22.6 Additionally, areas of restricted access or inaccessible welds if present shall be recorded.
