Important Notice
Please read the following information prior to use of any Krautkramer instrument.
Training
The customer must provide for adequate training of the operators to assure competence in the operation of the equipment and in the associated factors. The operator must be trained both in general ultrasonic testing procedure and in the set-up and performance of a particular test or application. The requirements for formalized training, qualification, and certification of operators are included, for example, in SNT-TC-1A, and are referenced in many other industry specifications.
General Warning
The correct and effective use of ultrasonic test equipment requires the interaction of three essential factors: The test equipment itself The specific test applications The operator The principal purpose of this operating manual will be to give instructions in the basic set-up and functional operation of the test equipment. Such information is covered in detail within the manual. Other variable factors, some of which are noted below, and the actions necessary to control them, are the responsibility of the customer/user.

can be determined. If, however, the sound beam is relatively broad, the flaw area determination can differ from the actual. Care should be taken to select a probe with sufficiently narrow beam at the position of the flaw. distance through the medium, then even at low attenuation, a large effect can result. The danger here is that natural flaws may be underassessed. Therefore, an estimate should be made of the effect of attenuation on test results and appropriate corrections applied. If the test part has a rough surface, part of the incident sound energy will be scattered at the surface and lost to the test instrument. The larger this scattering, the smaller the echoes, and greater the underestimation of detected flaws. It is important to make allowance for surface roughness and apply a correction to observed echo heights.
Echo Comparison Method: The echo from a small natural flaw is usually smaller than the echo from an artificial comparison flaw of the same size. This is often due to irregularity or oblique orientation of the flaw surface. This fact should be considered when evaluating flaw size to avoid underestimating size.
In cases of very jagged or fissured flaws, e.g. shrink holes in castings, an echo may not be detected. In such cases a different method may be required, such as measuring loss of transmission through the piece. When testing large parts, distance of the flaw from the probe is significant. It is important to choose an artificial comparison flaw that is as near as possible the same distance as the flaw being assessed. Ultrasound is subject to attenuation as it passes through any material. Some materials attenuate less than others. However, if the sound travels a long

Temperature Dependence
Velocity of sound is affected to varying degrees by the temperature of the material through which the sound travels. When temperature variables are expected, frequent checks must be made to maintain instrument calibration for the changing test conditions. Velocity changes due to temperature variation may affect the material being inspected, transducer delay lines and other equipment components.
Velocity of Sound
The accuracy of ultrasonic thickness measurements and of flaw location depends to a major degree on the velocity of sound through the material. This velocity value is dependent on characteristics of the material being tested, and is generally independent of the operation of the test instrument. This manual describes means for calibrating the instrument and its internal calculations for the velocity of sound value of the test material when it is known, or for finding the velocity of sound empirically using test blocks of the test material which are accessible for concurrent mechanical thickness measurement. No claim, explicit or implied, is included as to the uniformity of the velocity of sound throughout any given

conditions, instrument, probe parameters, etc., the second echo or other echo signal combinations may produce a readable signal. The instrument reading and apparent thickness are up to about twice the actual value, resulting in a condition that is sometimes called doubling. Krautkramer instruments have conservative specifications in this regard, which in most cases will prevent misreadings. When using a A-scan readout, the condition is usually apparent to the trained operator. Readings using instruments with only analog or digital meter indicators, in this thinner range, should be further evaluated when the reading value is between the specification minimum and about twice that value. Confirmation of the real thickness can usually be obtained using an ultrasonic flaw detector with CRT presentation, suitably calibrated, whereby individual echo signals can more readily be identified and evaluated.

Noise Immunization
echo triggers the gates logic. When the NOISE IMMN features is activated, the user can determine the number of triggering counts required before the TTL is output. The user indicates the number of counts, out of the total number of counts in an overall window, which must trigger the gate before the assigned TTL is output. To setup the noise immunization feature follow these steps:
Step 1: Activate the GATES MENU (located in the HOME MENU). Step 2: With the NSE IMMN submenu selected, press v next to the GATE SELECT function. Choose the gate to which you wish to apply noise immunization. Step 3: Press v next to the WINDOW function. Continue to press v or turn the function knob to define the number of counts in the window of examination. Note that if the window size is set to 16 counts (the maximum available) and the count function is set to 4 counts, this means that at least 25% (4 16) of all echoes in the window must trigger the gate before the TTL will set. Step 4: Press v next to the COUNT function. Continue to press v or turn the function knob to

D D1.1 RATINGCalculated based on the AWS formula: D = A-B-C Before activating the AWS D1.1 weld rating feature, be sure that all instrument settings are properly adjusted for the specific measurement application. Then access the AWS D1.1 Submenu (via the TRIG Menu) and follow this procedure:
Step 1: Apply couplant and couple the probe to a suitable reference test standard. Step 2: Ensure that the A-Gate is positioned over the desired echo. Then adjust the gain until the peak of the desired reference echo reaches 50% of full screen height (FSH) as shown in Figure 6-2. Note that if the echos peak amplitude (A%A) does not fall between 45% and 55%, the inputted point will not be accepted. Step 3: Press v next to the B REFERENCE function (then h to confirm) to define the reference dB level. Step 4: To evaluate a reflector in a test piece, couple the probe to the test piece and press u to select the A POS Submenu as shown in Figure 6-3. Now adjust the A-Gate position so that it is over the desired echo.

4-7 Analog Outputsthese pins will output a voltage proportional to the values selected for reading boxes 1-4. When an amplitude is selected for a reading a 0 V output indicates a 0% fsh signal and a 2.5 output indicates a 100% fsh signal. When a thickness value is selected for a reading a 0 V output corresponds to a thickness value that is less than or equal to the left edge of the displayed screen (0% horizontal) and a 2.5 output corresponds to a thickness value that is greater than or equal to the value at 100% horizontal of the displayed screen. 8. Data Validthis signal is generated once per cycle. During the high portion of the signal the TTL and Analog Outputs are being updated and are not valid. The falling edge of this signal or a low level on this signal indicate that data is valid and stable. (See Figure 7-2)

DAC/TCG Option
The USN 58R is available with optional Time Corrected Gain (TCG) and Multi-Curve Distance Amplitude Correction (DAC) functions. These functions are accessed through the TCG Menu, which is located by pressing u below the NEXT selection on the HOME Menu bar. Both the DAC and TCG functions operate based on a set of user-recorded data points. These points are recorded from the TCG menu as described below. The TCG function displays reflectors of equal size at equal A-Scan amplitudes, regardless of the reflectors depth in the test material. The USN 58R accomplishes this by adjusting the gain at different locations in the A-scan display, corresponding to different material depths, to compensate for signal loss (or variation) due to attenuation, beam spread, or other factors. When TCG is activated, appears in the status bar near the top right-hand corner of the display. The DAC function displays all echoes at their true amplitude (without depth compensation). However, when operating in DAC mode, either one or five Distance Amplitude Correction curves are superimposed on the A-Scan display. The original

Step 1: The instrument/probe combination has been calibrated and all instrument settings (PULSER, RECEIVER, MATERIAL, etc.) have been made. Changing these settings after the TCG reference points are input will effect the accuracy of measurement. Step 2: TCG reference points (up to 16) must be recorded. This process allows the USN 58R to calculate and compensate for the effect on material depth on reflector-echo height. The dynamic range of the TCG function is 40 dB.

Step 3: While the Gate is lined up over the first reference echo, press v next to the RECORD function. When the value of the RECORD function changes from 0 to 1, you have recorded the first TCG reference point. Note that the largest echo to cross the A-Gate will be treated as the reference echo. The gain value at which this point is recorded becomes the baseline gain value. Step 4: Continue to take additional reference points, following steps 2 and 3, up to a maximum of 16 points (note that at least two reference points are required).

10.1.2 Record the Reference Echo that Defines the DGS Curve
Prior to generating the DGS curve, a test standard with a known reflector must be used to define a reference point. Acceptable test standards include these reference types: BWBackwall echo with reference defect size defined as infinity SDHSide Drilled Hole with a reference defect size defined as the holes diameter FBHFlat Bottom Hole with a reference defect size equal to the holes facial diameter Follow these steps and Figure 10-1 to record a reference echo:
Step 2: Couple the probe to the known standard, capture the reference flaw so that its reflected echo is displayed on the instruments A-Scan, and adjust the A-Gates starting point to ensure that the resulting echo triggers the gate. Step 3: Adjust the gain knob until the reference flaws A-Scan peak measures 80% of FSH (A%A = 80%). Step 4: With the probe coupled to the standard, and the reference flaws echo captured by the A-Gate, press v next to the RECORD REF function to store a DGS reference echo.
