5.0 CALTRRATION 5.1 Instrument Linearity Verifications ,

5.1.1 This calibration shall include the ve-ification of screen height linearity and amplitude control linearity as described below. These checks shall be performed at the beginning of each shift.

5.1.2 Screen Height Linearity - To verify the abil!ty of the instrument to meet the linearity requirement, position an angle beam search unit so that echoes can be observed from any two reflectors in a calibration block. Adjust the search unit position to give a 2 to I ratio of ampli-tudes between the two echoes, with the larger set at 80% of full screen height (FSH). Without moving the search unit, adjust instrument gain to successively set the larger echo from 100% to 20% FSH, in 10% incre-ments (or 2 dB steps if a fine control is not available), and read the .

aiplitude of the smaller signal at each setting. The readings must be 50% of the larger amplitude, within 5% of FSH. The setting and reading must be estimated to the nearest 1% of FSH. Alternatively, a atraight r' beam search unit may be used on any calibration block that will provide

's the signal correlations.

5.1.3 Amplituue Control Linearity - To verify the accuracy of the amplitude control in the ultrasonic instrument, position a search unit so that an echo from one reflector in a calibration block is peaked on the screen.

With the increases and decreases in gain shown below, the echo amplitude must fall within the specified limits. Convenient reflectors from any calibration block may be used with angle or straight beam search units.

The settings and readings nust be estimated to the nearest 1% of FSH.

. Date: 5/26/81 Pager 7 of 29 5.2.2 Calibration shall include the complete examination system. A change in search units, shoes, couplants, instruments, or any other part of the system (including operators) shall require a calibration check. The original calibration shall be performed on the applicable basic calibra-tf on block. Calibration checks may be performed on either the basic calibration block or a calibration block simulator, but they must include a check of the complete system.

5.2.3 The calibration block temperature shall be within 25'F of the

- temperature of the component to be examined. Thermometer SN and the temperature (s) shall be documented on the applicable Data Sheet (s).

5.3 ceneral Requirements For Calibration 5.3.1 Obtain the angle beam path required in 6.3.3 on the sweep display. ,

Variables such as weld preparation, weld crown widi.h or physical inter-ference may preclude obtaining coverage of the examination volume with a ,

1/2 V examination from two sides as shown in Figure 2. If these variables are such that the dimension A of Figure 1 is greater than:

] 1.19e for 6 = 52'

1. 6 0t for 6 = 60' .

2.50t for 6 = 70' the beam path shall be increased at least 1/2 V. Alternatively, the interference may be eliminated by one or more of the following:

1) reducing the dimension of the wedge edge to beat entry point; 7
2) reducing search unit stee;
3) increasing the beam angle;
4) conditioning the veld surface; i

5.3.2 F.xaminations may be performed using a 1/2 V path calibration when the "A" j dimension requirements of paragraph 5.3.1 can be obtained. When the 1 i requirement < of 5.3.1 can not he met, other methods described in the "Angle i Beam Calibration" and "Angle Beam F.:: amination" sections of this procedure may be used.

5.3.3 Determination of beam index - Position the angle beam search unit on an IIU-2 block or equivalent so that the beam is directed toward the appropriate radius surface. Hove the transducer parallel to the sides of the block until a maximum echo is obtained from the reflecting radius. The beam index point is now above the centerline of the radius, as scribed on j the applicable block. Place a mark on the side of the wedge to identif y  ;

[^T 5.3.4 Determination of beam angle - Place the angle beam transducer on the

\) IIW-2 block or aquivalent and obtain a peak signal amplitude from the 2 inch diameter hole. Read the ref racted beam angle from the side of the block using the angle which corresponds with the beam index point.

5.3.5 Sweep calibration - Position the. search unit on the IIW, DSC, Rompus block, or equivalent and maximize the responses f rom the radius reflectors. Using the sweep and delay controls, position these responses on the CRT to read the desired linear sound path in inches. Position the reflectors on the CRT to allow for a sound path of at least 1 V to be observed when calibrating for 1/2 V, 1 1/2 V's to be observed when calibrating for a Full V examination, and 2 V's to be observed when calibrating for a 1 1/2 V examination.

5.4 1/2 V Path Calibration (Unrestricted Access) 5.4.1 The maximum calibration indications shall be obtained with the sound beam orienced essentially perpendicular to the axis of the calibration reflector.

The centerline of the search unit shall be at least 3/4 inch f rom the nearest side of the block. Rotation of the beam into a corner formed by the reflector and the side of the block may produce a higher amplitude signal at a longer beam path. This beam path shall not be used for calibration.

5.4.2 Position the search unit on the applicable basic calibration block. Using the drilled holes, obtain the maximum amplitude response from the reflector exhibiting the highest amplitude from the following positions, 3/8, 5/8, or 7/8 V path, and set its amplitude to 80% FSil. Without changing the gain, O meximize the responses f rom the remaining V path positions. When the calibration block contains only a 1/2t hole, calibrate using the 2/8 and 6/8 V paths.

5.4.3 Connect these points with a smooth line and extend this curve horizontally from the 3/8 (or 2/8) V path response to the initial pulse. Extrapolate the

, line from the 7/8 (or 6/8) V path response to either the right hand side of the CRT or to the base line, whichever comes first.

5.4.4 Establish primary reference sensitivity be setting the response from the applicable ID notch equal to the DAC at that location.

Record the sweep postitions and amplitudes of the calibration reflectors on the Calibration Data Sheet. Measurements shall be recorded to the nearest

.1" of metal path.

6.3.1.2 Angle beam examination for detection of indications both parallel and transverse to the veld shall be performed.

6.3.1.3 The scans shall be identified as shown in Figure 3. l 6.3.2 Angle Beam Scanning Sensitivity / Speed / Overlap 6.3.2.1 The scanning sensitivity for welds with enrestricted access and acoustic equivalency established per 5.8 or 5.9 should be at least *14dB above the primary reference sensitivity. Scans may be performed at levels lower than i 14dB above reference sensitivity when noise level requires a reduction in t

,- gain. It is intended that the ine. !c surface noise level during both 1/2 V  !

and full V scanning be an average of 5% FSH. Scanning sensitivity must be  ;

no less than 2X reference sensitivity adjusted for acoustic equivalency if [

applicable. The scanning sensitivity used shall be documented on the +  ;

Examination Data Sheet (s).

j

  • The above scanning sensitivity may not be adequate in some highly  !

attenuative materials. In these situations the gain shall be adjusted so i O- the average inside surface noise is an average 5% FSH. .

I 6.3.2.2 Ilhere accoustic equivalency cannot be determined or when examining welds with access restricted to scanning from one side, a supplemental scan may be required in addition to the full V examination. The examination, if i

performed, shall be performed as follows. I

1) Instrument gain shall be increased until either a 5%-10% FSH ID noise level is achieved or until front surface noise begins to  !

obscure the inner 1/2t of wall thickness, whichever comes first.

2) The volume shall be scanned at the gain established above. i
3) All indications with a signal to noise (s/n) ratio of 2 or greater  !

shall be recorded . (i.e. Noise level = 10% FSit, recording level is l 20% FSH)

, 4) Indications from ID roll need not be recorded unless in the opin-

] ion of the snaminer an unusual condition is being observed. i

5) The instrument gain used during scanning shall be recorded on the '

appropriate calibration and examination data sheets.

6.3.2.3 The scanning speed during examination shall not exceed 3" per second.

6.3.2.4 Scannies shall be performed so that the minimum scan overlap is at least 10% of the transducer transmitting piezoelectric element. f l

O 6.3.3.1 To detect discontinuities which are essentially parallel to the weld, the search unit shall be placed on the contact surface with the been  !

directed at about 90' to the veld and manipulated laterally and lon'- '

itudinally with a mininum of 10' oscillation so that the sound beam l

, passes the augh the required examination volume. The examination shall be performed f rom both sides of the veld (1/2 V) where possible or from one side of the veld as a minimum with a beam path long enough to exa- l r4ne the required volume in 2 beam directions. i

. 6 . k . 3, . o detect discontinuities which are essentially tre.nsverse to the weld,the skew angles for various pipe wall thicknesses are

, as shown on Exhibit D. The examination shall be performed on the required volume (Figure 2) with 1/2 V scanning in 2 directions where configuration permits. Other skew angles may be used if in the opinion of the 1.evel III more meaningful data can be obtained. i 1

g 6.3.3.3 For welds where access is restrected ;anning from one side only, an additional skew angle of approximauy 45' 410' shall be used.

This shall be used to aid in the detection of discontinuities which are essentially parallel to the weld, and discontinuities which are essentially transverse to the weld, and to detect discontinuities

  • which are oriented at angles other than transverse or parallel to the veld.

6.3.4 Straicht Beam (O') Scanning Sensitivitv/ Speed / overlap

(

6.3.4.1 0' scanning sensitivity should be at least 2X primary refer-ence sensitivity. In thin material ( ~ .700) it may not be
possible to scan at 2X due to front surface noise obscuring the .

l near portion of the pipe wall. In such r.ases, sensitivity may

(

be reduced to assure coverage of the naximum portion of the l l pipe wall. In no case shall scanning be performed at less than l i

reference sensitivity. The sensitivity used shall be recorded on the F.xamination Data Sheet (s). i 6.3.4.2 Scanning speed during examination shall not exceed 3" per second.

! 6.3.4.3 Scanning shall be performed so that the mininum overlap is 10% of the transducer transmitting piezoelectric element. ,

l 6.3.5 Straight Beam (0*) Scanning i i 6.3.5.1 The O' examination shall be performed on both the weld and re-l 1 quired volume (Figure 2) and the base material through which the '

j angle beams must pass.

6.4 Investigation of Indiestions 6.4.1 If.during the examinations the 1.evel II believes that indleations are C

caused by cracks, lacks of fusion, or lacks of penetration, they shall ,

be noted on the Examination Data Sheet (s) regardless of amplitude.  !

the OD contour shall be taken at the location of each indication recorded t during the scans referenced in 6.3.2. and 6.3.4. The contour of the weld shall be traced as follows: At the position of maximum amplitud; along each indication the general OD contour of the weld and component surface shall be i profiled by applying a pin gage to the weld and/or component surface. The pin gage contour measurement shall be continuous along the area to be profiled.

The OD profile shall cover the weld and sufficient base metal to extend 1 inch '

beyond the search unit position, where possible. Outside diameter profiles shall be conducted by placing the pin gage on the OD surface of the weld and adjacent component material and applying pressure to obtain a contour. One ,

tooth of the pin gage shall be raised when profiling to identify the weld centerline. Af ter forming the contour and establishing the elevated gage i tooth reference, this section of the CD contour shall be traced from the pin '

gage and the process repeated until the area has been completely profiled.The above contours and corresponding thickness readings shall be recorded on the Weld Thickness Profile sheet (Exhibit B).
