API 1104 PAUT Cal Block

This document provides specifications for an API 1104 reference block for performing PAUT (Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing). It specifies the dimensions for a notch in the block including a diameter of 40 inch pipe, 31.75mm nominal thickness, 3.175mm ±10% notch depth, 50mm minimum length from edge, and 3.2mm maximum width. It also provides requirements for automated ultrasonic weld testing using the block, including scanning at a sensitivity of 80% screen height plus 4dB and an evaluation threshold of 40% of full screen height. Other techniques may be used if shown to be equivalent.

Automated Ultrasonic Weld Testing:

API 1104 _Reference block for PAUT


Automated ultrasonic weld testing should be performed at a scanning sensitivity of
80 % screen height reference sensitivity plus 4 dB when using the pulse-echo
technique. Evaluation sensitivity should be the same as scanning sensitivity
Evaluation level screen height (recording threshold) should be 40 % of full screen
height using the automated pulse echo technique.
Other automated techniques, reference reflectors, reference sensitivities, scanning
sensitivities, evaluation sensitivities, and evaluation levels may be used if
demonstrated to be equivalent to the pulse-echo technique for the detection and
evaluation of weld imperfections.
