ASME BPVCY-2021, 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 ARTICLE 4 Figure 1-440 Linearity 105
