1 Introducing ARJUN 30
ARJUN 30 is India`s first ultra light palmtop ultrasonic flaw detector which weighs only
800grams along with the battery, It can be easily operated with one hand and its
portability and compactness makes it unique in its type. ARJUN 30 comes with 5 inch
color WVGA LCD/TFT display with wide viewing angles. It has a 7.4 VDC, 4AH
lithium ion battery, which gives four hours of continuous operation on a single charge
and also additional extra battery is provided to enable back to back 8 hours of operation.
500 trace patterns and 50 setups can be easily stored and recalled for the reference
purpose in the ARJUN 30, it has a micro SD Card storage up to 8GB and a USB
communication port for easy data transfer to the computer.

2 How does an Ultrasonic Flaw detector Work

ARJUN 30 is a single channel Ultrasonic-testing instrument used for the inspection of
homogeneous material for the presence of inclusions, porosity and other discontinuities
that could affect the performance of material and components. It can also be used for
thickness gauging of homogeneous material, requiring access from only one side of the
test piece. High frequency sound (Ultrasonic sound) waves are introduced into the test
material/part from a transducer/probe that is usually coupled to the test piece by water or
other suitable coupling liquid. The transducer converts electric signals to Ultrasound and
vice versa. A short burst of Ultrasound is introduced into test material so some or all of
the energy is reflected by
discontinuities. The reflection of the ultrasound
energy is a function of the ratio between the
acoustic impedance of the discontinuity and the
base material. The greater the impedance ratio
the more sound energy will be reflected. The
principle of Ultrasonic testing is shown in fig. 1.
It shows the ultrasonic energy generated in the
test piece and resultant instrument display.
Thickness gauging with ARJUN 30
Operates on the principle of the time-of-flight

measurement. This principle utilizes the precise timing of the transit time of a short burst
of ultrasound energy, through a material under test. The ultrasound waves travel to the
far side of the test piece and reflect back to the transducer/probe and a measurement is
obtained.
Basically three typed of transducers/probes are available for different types of
applications:
1> Straight beam Probe (Normal probe)
2> TR probe (Dual crystal probe)
3> Angle beam Probe
1> Straight beam Probe: This probe introduces ultrasound normal to the test piece
surface utilizing longitudinal or compression waves. Normal beam probe is used
mostly for flaw detection and thickness gauging
(refer figure 1.)
2> TR probe: This probe contains separate transmitting
and receiving elements as showing in figure 2
usually mounted on delay lines. This design
improves near surface resolution by separating
the initial pulse from the received echoes. TR
probe is suitable for the thickness gauging of pitting
and corrosion and also for better surface resolution.

3> Angle Beam Probe: This probe introduces ultrasound at an angle to the surface of
the test piece. In most angle beam probes,
the wave energy is mode converted from a
longitudinal wave to a shear wave by the
refraction principle. This probe is suitable for
inspection of the welds. The reason for this is
its ability to position the transducer/probe
away from the weld bead yet propagate energy
into the weld zone. Another reason to use angle
beam testing on the welds is to position the
sound beam more normal to the expected discontinuities since the flaws in welds are
usually perpendicular to the test piece (except porosity). Figure 3 shows the principle
of angled beam weld testing.

Example:
> Select MEASURE POSITION, MEAPOS1 and MEAPOS2 to ON.
> Set GATE 1 to “PLOGIC”
> Couple probe on reference defect and set gain value so echo height within 40 to 60% of
Screen.
> Set GATE 1 in such a way so echo signal within GATE.
> Then turn SET REF to ON so required gain to bring echo to 50% is recorded and
displayed as a REF Gain in GAIN box.
> Set AWS to MEASURE so it starts to display Indicating rating as per AWS code.
Indication rating is based below formula.
IR=IL-RG-AF
IL : Indicating Level… its gain value to bring echo height to reference level (50%).
RG : Reference Gain.. Its Gain value to bring reference echo height to reference
level(50%)
AF : Attenuation Factor… its attenuation of signal in material as per AWS standard.
Based on below formula.
AF= (Sound path (in Inch) -1) * 2
IR : Indicating Rating… Its different in dB between the indication signal and reference
signal with attenuation correction.

6 Power Supply
ARJUN 30 is powered by a Lithium-Ion battery pack MB-1, which is fitted in
ARJUN 30 using two half screws. It is electrically connected to ARJUN 30 via one
internal terminal contact point. With fully charged battery pack MB-1, ARJUN 30
can operate continuously for Eight hours. The battery pack MB-1 can be charged
inside ARJUN 30 by connecting Battery charger AC-1 to the connector (22). Also
dock station ABC 1 is provided for charging battery pack outside ARJUN 30 which
allows uninterrupted use of ARJUN 30.

Battery Charging
The battery Charger AC-1 supplied with ARJUN 30 is a special quick- charge
charger. The charging time is just 3 to 3 ½ hours. AC-1 battery charger is suitable for
use with mains supply from 100 to 240 volts AC/50 Hz. The LED on charger
illuminates to indicate power on. When the battery voltage is low (discharge
condition) it will indicate by beep Sound and blinking of battery Indicator. When the
battery is in charging condition LED Indicator on Arjun30 glows green, And in fully
charged condition green LED light shuts off.
