Non-destructive testing. Characterization and verification of ultrasonic phased array equipment -- Array probes
This document specifies the characterization tests performed at the end of the fabrication of a phased array probe. It defines both methodology and acceptance criteria.
This document is applicable to the following phased array probes used for ultrasonic non-destructive testing in contact technique (with or without a wedge) or in immersion technique, with centre frequencies in the range 0,5Â MHz to 10Â MHz:
non-matrix array probes:
linear;
encircling;
partial annular sectorial (type 'daisy');
2D-matrix array probes.
This document does not give methods and acceptance criteria to characterize the performance of an ultrasonic phased array instrument or the performance of a combined system. These are given in ISO 18563‑1 and in ISO 18563‑3 .
