MANDATORY APPENDIX |
SCREEN HEIGHT LINEARITY
1-410 SCOPE
‘This Mandatory Appendix provides requirements for
checking sereen height linearity and is applicable to ultra-
sonic instruments with A-scan displays.
1-440 MISCELLANEOUS REQUIREMENTS:
Position an angle beam search unit on a calibration
block, as shown in Figure I-40 so that indications from
both the 1 and 341" holes give a 2:1 ratio of amplitudes:
between the two indications. Adjust the sensitivity (gain)
so that the larger indication Is set at 80% of full screen
height (FSH). Without moving the search unit, adjust sen-
sitivity (gain) to successively set the larger indication
from 100% to 20% of full screen height, in 10% incre-
ments (or 2 dB steps if a fine control is not available),
and read the smaller indication at each setting. The read-
ing shall be 509% of the larger amplitude, within 5% of
FSH. The settings and readings shall be estimated to the
nearest 1% of full screen, Alternatively, a straight beam.
search unit may be used on any calibration block that pro-
vides amplitude differences, with sufficient signal separa-
tion to prevent overlapping of the two signals
