AVG
Note: The AVG curves are calculated based on theoretical formula, which is valid for the
area beyond three times of near field only. It is a straight line in the area within three
times of near field.
2.15.1 Making AVG Curves

Operation:
1 Before using the AVG function, correction shall be performed. See 2.12 Auto Correction.
2 Press AVG to switch to AVG main menu.
3 Input probe information:
Select the submenus P_Shape, AVG_Freq., AVG_DiamA, AVG_DiamB, Angle and
K_Value respectively, and input information such as probe shape, frequency, size (for a
round-shape probe, input the probe diameter in the submenu AVG_DiamA; for a rectangularshape probe, input the length of two probe sides in AVG_DiamA and AVG_DiamB), and
angle.
4 Select the submenu AVG_Op and adjust it to Record.
5 Input Reference Information
Select the submenu BaseType, and adjust it to the standard reflector type of the reference
test block or the work piece:
if BW is selected from BaseType, the system will ignore the

18

input value in the submenu Base_Diam.; if FBH or SDH is selected from BaseType, input
the diameter of the standard reflector in the submenu Base_Diam.
6 Input the flat-bottom hole equivalent diameters for the three AVG lines to be created.
Select the submenu AVG_L1, AVG_L2 and AVG_L3 respectively and adjust their values.
7 Input Compensation Value
When the echo amplitude of the reference test block or the workpiece does not comply with
the theoretical value, compensation is required to compensate the value difference. This is a
common practice when a broad flat bottom is used for reference. Because the broad flat
bottom echo amplitude usually does not reach the theoretical difference of amplitude for the
echo of the same-distance flat-bottom hole, if the broad flat bottom amplitude is used as a
reference, the calculated flat-bottom equivalent value in actual testing will be inaccurate.
Therefore, in situations when the broad flat bottom echo is used as a reference, it is
recommended to input the error (between the actual difference of the reference broad flatbottom echo amplitude and the flat-bottom test block amplitude with the same-distance, which
can be calculated with the theoretical formula) as compensation. Input the compensation to
bring the calculation more accurate.
8 Select the submenu GAStart. Adjust gate start position and hitch the gate to the echo to be
recorded. Adjust gain or press AGC to bring the echo amplitude around 80%. Now the
system will make the curves automatically.

>200
1.5 times of workpiece thickness
Note: This table is for reference only. The operator shall choose the appropriate range based
on specific situation. Usually the range shall cover the workpiece thickness or the
observed echo area with certain surplus.
3.4 System Text Prompt

During operating the system, when a mis-operation occurs or a confirmation for any operation is
required, a text prompt message will be displayed on the screen. The user may determine the
reason of such mis-operation or confirm whether to continue the operation through the prompt
message.
30
3.5 Store and Recall of System State and Testing Parameter

The internal large memory of the system can store up to 300 groups of system test state data
sets. Therefore system test state data of calibrated probes for different applications or specific to
workpieces can be saved to records (datasets). Before testing, the corresponding saved records
can be recalled. After releasing the freeze state, testing is available immediately. Thus toggle
between different test states is very fast, which allows easy management and less complicated
calibration on the system.
3.6 System Parameter Setup Specific to Testing

1 For large workpieces or coarse-crystal material testing or when high sensitivity is required, set
Power at High and Damping at Low, so as to increase system test sensitivity.
2 For situations of thin workpiece testing or high resolution is required, set Power at Low and
Damping at High, so as to increase system test resolution but the test sensitivity will
decrease accordingly. When testing with a narrow-pulse probe, set Rectify at Pos. or Neg. to
further increase resolution.
3 Usually PRF is set 200Hz.
4 Determine system frequency setup based on the rated frequency of the selected probe. For a
2.5MHz probe, the test sensitivity surplus for the step 1~4MHz is the highest among the
available frequency range.
5 Generally, Rej is set 0%.
3.7 Using Battery to Increase Anti-interference

When the AC power grid receives strong interference, please use battery for power supply. The
power supply from battery effectively cuts off interference signals from AC power grid, while other
external interference signals will not easily affect the system.
31
3.8 Application of PeakEnvelop

When PeakEnv. function is enabled, the screen will record the peak values corresponding to all
points in horizontal direction within the display range, and display these points in different colors.
When higher echoes appear, the corresponding peaks of those positions are refreshed, otherwise
they remain unchanged. This application is mainly used for positioning in angle-probe testing and
displaying echo envelope.
3.9 Using Different Colors to Achieve Optimal Visual Effect in Application

1 When the system is operated in sunshine outdoors, it is recommended to set the submenu
Color (Config main menu) at 2 (white background), so as to increase visual contrast and
clarity of the screen.
2 When the system is operated indoors, it is recommended to set the submenu Color (Config
main menu) at 1 (black background) for more comfortable visual effect.

Testing Application and Examples
4.1 Testing with A Normal Probe

General testing steps with a normal probe:
1 Set up system initial parameters (Rng, Vel, Dly, PRF, Band, Power, Damping, Thk).
2 Correct system zero and velocity. Please refer to 2.12 Auto Correction.
3 Select either of the below items:
(1) Confirm the tested bottom echo or reference sensitivity, based on which increase
compensation sensitivity.
(2)
Make AVG curves. Please refer to 2.15 AVG.
4 Set up the system test range and save the current system status to a blank dataset and
record the dataset number.
5 In field testing, recall the test technique from the preset dataset (If necessary, adjust the
scanning sensitivity) and start testing.
6 According to the echo position and amplitude shown up during testing (hitch the gate to the
echo and read from the measurement data area), determine whether it is a defect echo and
calculate its equivalent (If AVG curves are adopted, the flat-bottom hole equivalent to the
echo amplitude can be read from the system measurement data area directly), and then
process the workpiece based on the applicable standard.
4.2 Testing with An Angle Probe

General testing steps with an angle probe:
1 Setup system initial parameters (Rng, Vel, Dly, PRF, Band, Power, Damping, Thk)
2 Correct system zero and velocity (usually only the system zero can be corrected). Please
refer to 2.12 Auto Correction.
3 Use a ruler to measure the probe flankX_Valueand input it in the system.
4 Input the probe nominal Angle or KValue (If the user is demanding on measurement result,
the probe actual angle can be measured with the angle measurement function or a CSK IA
33

test block. Please refer to 2.13 Angle Mesurement).
5 Use a standard test block (such as CSK IIIA) to make DAC curves, and set dB distance and
workpiece surface compensation between the three DAC curves according to the applicable
standard (such as JB/T 4730-2005, GB11345-1989). Please refer to 2.14 DAC.
6 Set up Rng for testing. Save the current system setup status and DAC curves to a blank
dataset and record the dataset number.
7 In field testing, recall the test technique from the preset dataset (If necessary compensate the
scanning sensitivity based on the current sensitivity) and start testing.
8 According to the echo position, amplitude shown up during testing and dB difference of DAC
curves (hitch the gate to the echo and read from the measurement data area), determine
whether it is a defect echo and calculate its equivalent, length and area.
4.3 Application Examples

4.3.1
Application Example of JB/T 4730-2005 Standard
Use a 2.5Z1010K2 probe, as per JB/T 4730-2005 standard, to test the welding line of a 20mmthick steel plate. The operating procedure is usually as follows:
1 Set up system initial parameters
Set the submenu Coor (in Config main menu) at SPath;
Set the submenu SPath (in Basic main menu) at 200mm;
Set the submenu Vel (in Basic main menu) at 3230m/s;
Set the submenu Dly (in Basic main menu) at 0mm;
Set the submenu PRF (in Config main menu) at 200Hz;
Set the submenu Band (in Config main menu) at 1~4MHz;
Set the submenu Power (in Config main menu) at High;
Set the submenu Damping (in Config main menu) at Low;
Set the submenu Thk (in Config main menu) at 100mm
34

2
Measure X_Value and Zero

Press Cal to go to Cal main menu. Use the probe to scan CSK-IA test block R100. Find the
peak of the echo. Hitch the gate to that echo. Adjust Zero value to bring SPath value in the
measurement data area to 100. Now the distance from the incidence point to the front of
probe housing is X_Value (in Config main menu). Zero is the acoustic time from the probe
ceramic to the incidence point.
Measure Probe Angle (or KValue)

1Press Cal to go to Cal main menu.
2Select the submenu Angle_Meas. and press
to go to its extended submenu.
3Set the extended submenu Ho_D at 30mm and Ho_Diam. at 1mm.

4Use the probe to be measured to scan a16 hole at the depth of 30mm on the CSKIIIA test block. Find the peak of the echo and hitch the gate to that echo. Select
extended submenu GAStart in the submenu Angle_Meas. and press
. The
measurement result is displayed in the extended submenus Angle and KValue. It

prompts Sure?. Press
to save Angle and KValue.
5After testing, verification can be performed with a 16 hole at the depth of 20mm.
4
Make DAC Curves

1Press DAC to go to DAC main menu.
2Set the submenu DAC_Op at Record.
3Use the measured probe to scan a 1 hole at the depth of 10mm on the CSK-IIIA test
block. Find the peak of the echo and hitch the gate to that echo. Adjust the echo
height to around 80%. Press the confirm key
and the first echo reference point is
recorded and the first curve section is drawn.

4Repeat step (2), and record echoes of the holes from shallow to deep depth at 20mm,
30mm and 40mm. When the reference echo amplitude at a deeper depth is less than
20% of screen display amplitude, increase system sensitivity (gain value) to increase
echo amplitude, so as to easily record that echo reference point.
5After recording the required echo reference points, a group of DAC curves are
completed. As per JB/T 4730-2005 standard, the sensitivity of DAC_L3, DAC_L2 and
DAC_L1 are: 16-9dB, 16-3dB and 16+5dB. Therefore the submenus
35

DAC_L3, DAC_L2 and DAC_L1 (in DAC main menu) are set at: -9dB, -3dB and+5dB.
In addition, the workpiece surface compensation is normally 4dB, Comp shall be set
at 4dB. Set the submenu Line_Sel at DAC_L2.
5
Set the submenu Thk (in Config main menu) as the thickness of the workpiece to be tested.
In this specific example, the submenu Thk (in Config main menu) is set at 20mm. Save the
current system setup status and DAC curves to a blank dataset and record the dataset
number.
In field testing, recall the made DAC curves from the submenu Dataset (in Store main
menu). When a suspected echo appears within the DAC curve measurement range, hitch
the gate to that echo. If the number displayed in the measurement data area HdB field is
5.5 (the number refers to the dB difference between the echo peak within the gate and the
currently
selected
curve
DAC_L2),
the
echo
equivalent
shall
be:16-
3dB+5.5dB=16+2.5dB, which belongs to Class 2 flaw.
4.3.2
Application Example of GB 11345-1989
Use a 2.5Z1010K2 probe, as per Class B of GB 11345-1989 standard, to test on the welding line

Set the submenu Band (in Config main menu) at 1~4MHz;
Set the submenu Power (in Config main menu) at High;
Set the submenu Damping (in Config main menu) at Low;
Set the submenu Thk (in Config main menu) at 100mm
2 Measure X_Value and Zero
36

Press Cal to go to Cal main menu. Use the probe to scan CSK-IA test block R100. Find the
peak of the echo. Hitch the gate to that echo. Adjust Zero value to bring SPath value in the
measurement data area to 100. Now the distance from the incidence point to the front of
probe housing is X_Value (in Config main menu). Zero is the acoustic time from the probe
ceramic to the incidence point.
3 Measure Probe Angle (or KValue)
1Press Cal to go to Cal main menu.
2Select the submenu Angle_Meas. and press the confirm key
to go to its extended
submenu.
3Set the extended submenu Ho_D at 30mm and Ho_Diam at 3mm.
4Use the probe to be measured to scan a3 hole at the depth of 30mm on the RB-3 test
block. Find the peak of the echo and hitch the gate to that echo. Select the extended
submenu GAStart in the submenu Angle_Meas. and press the confirm key
. The
measurement result is displayed in the extended submenu Angle and KValue. It

prompts Sure?. Press
to save Angle and KValue.
5After testing, verification can be performed with a 3 hole at the depth of 20mm.
4 Make DAC Curves
1Press DAC to go to DAC main menu.
2Set the submenu DAC_Op at Record.
3Use the measured probe to scan a 3 hole at the depth of 10mm on the RB-3 test
block. Find the peak of the echo and hitch the gate to that echo. Adjust the echo height
to around 80%. Press the confirm key
and the first echo reference point is recorded
and the first curve section is drawn.

4Repeat step (2), and record the echoes of the holes from shallow to deep depth at
20mm, 30mm and 40mm. When the reference echo amplitude at a deeper depth is less
than 20% of screen display amplitude, increase system sensitivity (gain value) to
increase echo amplitude, so as to easily record that echo reference point
5After recording the required echo reference points, a group of DAC curves are
completed. As per Class B of GB 11345-1989 standard, the sensitivity of DAC_L3,
DAC_L2 and DAC_L1 are: 3-16dB, 3-10dB, 3-4dB. Therefore the submenus
37

DAC_L3, DAC_L2 and DAC_L1 are set at: -16dB, -10dB and -4dB. In addition, the
workpiece surface compensation is normally 4dB, Comp shall be set at 4dB. Set the
submenu Line_Sel at DAC_L2.
5 Set the submenu Thk (in Config main menu) as the thickness of the workpiece to be tested.
In this specific example, the submenu Thk (in Config main menu) is set at 20mm. Save the
current system setup status and DAC curves to a blank dataset and record the dataset
number.
6 In field testing, recall the made DAC curves from submenu Dataset (in Store main menu).
When a suspected echo appears within the DAC curve measurement range, hitch the gate to
that echo. If the number displayed in the measurement data area HdB field is 5.5 (the number
refers to the dB difference between the echo peak within the gate and the currently selected
curve DAC_L2), the echo equivalent shall be: 3-10dB+5.5dB=3-4.5dB, which belongs to
Class 2 flaw.

A.6
a
No Echo
Check if the Dual setting is correct, whether it is set On, but with single probe
connected only;
Check if the probe cable is in bad contact. Try to replace another probe cable;
Check if the configurations of Gain, Rng, Dly, Zero and Rej are correct;
Set the system at Default, use a new probe cable to connect to a good standard echo
probe BH-50 with the system. If echoes occur, the failure is due to improper setting;
If the failure still exists after trying the solutions above, please contact the distributor or
SIUI.
A.7
a
Cannot make DAC curves

Check if AVG curves are made. DAC curves can not be created if AVG curves are
made;
Check if Record is not selected in the DAC menu;

47

c
Check if the echo amplitude hitched by the gate is not within the range of 20% ~100%;
Check if Rectify is set at RF.
A.8
a

A.9
Incorrect depth reading when using an angle probe
Check if Vel or Zero is not corrected;
Check if Angle or KValue is not inputted or incorrect;
Check whether the gate hitches the echo to be tested or there are clutters with higher
echo amplitude. By measuring PeakEcho within gate, only when the echo being
hitched by the gate properly, can accurate calculation result comes out.
A.10 Incorrect horizontal reading when using an angle probe

a
Check if Vel is not corrected;
Check if Angle or KValue is not inputted or incorrect;
Check if Zero is not inputted or incorrect;
Check if X_Value is inputted correctly; When X_Value is 0, the measurement reading

refers to the horizontal distance between the incident point of probe beam and the flaw,
otherwise, it refers to the horizontal distance between the probe flank and the flaw;
Check whether the gate hitches the echo to be tested or there are clutters with higher
echo amplitude. By measuring PeakEcho within gate, only when the echo being
hitched by the gate properly, can accurate calculation result comes out.
When measuring a round-hole flaw, the horizontal distance to be measured is between
48

the flaw (beam reflection point) and the probe, rather than between the round-hole
center and the probe. Otherwise, the bigger the round-hole diameter is, the bigger the
error will be.
