Ultrasonic Inspection For Shaft Inspection - by Derek Inspection PDF

This document provides an ultrasonic test procedure for inspecting shafts. It outlines the purpose of using ultrasonic testing to inspect shafts for circumferential and axial indications. It lists the required personnel, equipment, and cleaning procedures. It then describes the baseline calibration process and amplitude calibration procedures for both axial and circumferential scanning. The scanning is to be performed with a minimum 10% overlap using the reference level amplitude plus 6dB. Any indications found during scanning are to be evaluated and reported.

PURPOSE

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) of the shaft (see sketch) and reducer area for
circumferential and axial indications.

PERSONNEL

UT Technicians are to be certified to CGSB or SNT Level I, and are


familiar with this procedure and the custom calibration block (see
Calibration).

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

• Ultrasonic flaw detector with A-Scan presentation certified to


ASTM 317
• DSC calibration block
• 2.25 mHz, or preferably a 5.0 mHz transducer, 3/8” diameter
• 45 degree show flat and a 45 degree show curved to the
diameter of the part (circumferential scan)

CLEANING

The part to be tested is to be free of grease, dirt, burrs or any other


such obstructions.

BASE LINE CALIBRATION

1. Set the instrument settings to :


a. Pulse Echo
b. Pulser – medium
c. Reject – off
d. Dampening – off
e. Range – minimum 500 mm
f. Zero Offset = 0
2. Place the Flat 45 degree probe on the DSC block pointing to the
25 mm radius
3. Obtain a signal from the first radius to at least (adjust gain)
4. Obtain a signal from the second radius to at lease 30 % full
screen height
5. Using your Zero Offset and your Range set the first echo to the 2
graticule and the second echo to the 10 graticule

AMPLITUDE CALIBRATION – AXIAL SCAN

1. Place the probe on reference block facing the bevel area


2. Scan to achieve an 80% FSH reflection from the smallest notch
on the opposite side

AMPLITUDE CALIBRATION – CIRCUMFERENTIAL SCAN

1. Perform the axial scan calibration


2. Re-shoe from the flat shoe to the curved shoe
3. Obtain an 80% FSH reflection from the smallest notch located on
the length of the shaft

SCANNING

Perform all scans using a minimum 10% overlap using the reference
level amplitude plus 6dB for scanning. Evaluate at reference level
amplitude.

REPORTING

As per Derek Inspection standard operating practice.
