IIW Block Type 2 for .25" wedge calibration The Level III of my company pulled out his type 2 IIW block the other day. I noticed that it wasn't possible to calibrate a .25" angle beam wedge while still having the having the hash marks directly below the BIP of the probe. The recessed edge of the IIW type 2 was too far away laterally to be picked up by the probe. I was only able to pick up the 4" signal, not the 2".
So, my question is- Do they make IIW Type 2 blocks with hash marks on both sides for doing 2" & 4" linearity calibrations with a small wedge? | |

David,
In all my time in NDT, I can't say I came across such a thing. The other thing that comes to mind is that it would be very difficult and may also give you some calibration error by moving your probe on each side of the IIW block to get the 2" than the 4". When you calibrate with such a block, you should position your transducer so that you will obtain a signal on your screen from the 2" and 4" simultaniously. In your case, this would require to place your transducer at the "0" mark and in the middle of the block thickness.
On easy way to solve your problem would be to use a fine tip waterproof marker and using a square, draw the line for the "0" mark across the width of the block. This way you would be able to maximize your signal and obtain a 2" and 4" signal on your screen.
Hoping this will e of help,

David,
The "industry-standard" IIW-Type 2 (Inch version) block contains the 60 to 80 degree scale on the face opposite the scale you are using to pick up the 4" and 2" signals. Placing a second radii centerline scale would shorten the 60-80 scale to 75 degrees (perhaps not a major roadblock), but would potentially lead to some confusion. We'd be happy to make you a special block that contains two identical radii scales. It may also be helpful to consider a narrower block width of 0.500" (12.7mm). Contact me if you are interested in pursuing this further.

Phil, I see that the mini-IIW block on the PH Tool website has a hash mark on the side of the recessed curvature. It appears to me that this would allow angle beam calibration with a .25" wedge. Is there any way you could test this out for me?

sources or Selenium 75 source ... s. This projector incorporates design
and
safety features that make it flexible, compact and lightweight.
The Projector is lighter than most of its competitors. It
incorporates an improved source channel, based on a new helicoidal
design, which makes maintenance easier. The helicoidal design also
allows smoother movement of the source assembly inside the device,
making it easier for the operator and improving safety. The
Projector also has a unique safety feature not found in competitive
products.
The source assembly locking mechanism is triggered by the source
holder capsule at the front of the source assembly, thereby always
assuring the operator that the source has returned to the
safe position. The Exertus Dual 120 is ISO3999:2004 compliant. >  AIS229 - Multipurpose Real Time SystemLatest standard & automatic real time
