Mentor UT Portable Equipment User’s Manual Selecting the Scan Pattern Provided an application’s architect has enabled the Scan Pattern parameter, the type of C-scan pattern is a user- selected feature. Options include Line Scan, Raster Scan, and Hand Scan. First, it’s important to recognize the terminology applied to C-scan axes: the X axis is known as the Scan Axis while the Y axis is identified as the Index Axis. Line and Raster Scans rely on an encoder to track movement along the Scan Axis while in a Hand Scan procedure the operator controls the probe’s movement with no positional feedback to the instrument. To produce a recognizable visual relationship between the C-scan and the part, it is important to move the probe in one direction and at a consistent speed across the part. Without the use of a mechanical encoder, the instrument is unaware of the operator reversing the probe’s direction of motion. A Line Scan provides mechanical encoding only along the Scan (X) Axis, while the Index (Y) Axis is defined only by the electronically controlled sequential firing of the probe’s elements. Raster Scan provides two axes of mechanical position, so the Index Axis is a combination of the sequential firing of the probe’s elements and a mechanically encoded Index Oset. The Scan Axis behaves the same on both Linear and Raster Scans. 1 – Touch the C-scan display to activate the menu buttons, then select this button to open the Scan Setup menu. Access the Scan Pattern parameter to choose between Line and Raster Scan. 2 – Line Scan 3 – The Scan (X) Axis, in both a Line and Raster Scan, is monitored by a mechanical encoder. 4 – A Line Scan’s Index (Y) Axis represents only the probe’s elements 5 – Raster Scan 6 – A Raster Scan’s Index Axis represents a combination of the probe’s elements and a mechanically encoded Index Oset (7).

Note: The probe delay is calculated uniquely for each element, compensating for any dimensional variation in the probe’s construction. 5 – The displayed Probe Delay value represents the maximum delay applied to an individual phased array element. 6 – Number in top corner of readout box indicates that the beam from phased array element 13 demonstrates the highest amplitude captured by Gate A.
Mentor UT Portable Equipment User’s Manual TCG Calibration (Multiple Step) When included by an application’s architect, the TCG (Time Corrected Gain) Calibration compares the A-Scan indications from multiple echoes taken from different known- thickness calibration blocks. Two alternative TCG calibration procedures are described in the next two pages. In practice, the TCG function displays reflectors of equal size at equal A-Scan amplitudes, regardless of the reflector’s depth in the test material. This is accomplished by adjusting the gain at different locations in the A-scan display, corresponding to different material depths, to compensate for signal loss (or variation) due to attenuation, beam spread, or other factors. Note: A purple band appears on the Amplitude Display during the TCG calibration procedure. The band is centered on the TCG Target Amp setting, with a width defined by the Amplitude Tol setting. During the TCG calibration process, gain is added to increase the amplitude of each echo until it falls within this band. 1 – Begin the process by pressing the Calibration button. 2 – The TCG Calibration (multiple step option) evaluates backwall echo A-Scan amplitudes from samples of multiple different known thicknesses. The procedure can involve up to 16 different thickness readings. The application shown here requires five different thickness readings. 3 – Continue to follow on-screen instructions to couple the attached phased array probe to the correct calibration block until all five thicknesses are recorded. Make sure the gate captures the correct A-Scan echo for each of the TCG points, then press the Calibration button to record that point and continue. 4 – After following the on-screen instructions to capture the last known thickness, press the Calibration button to complete the TCG Calibration process. 5 – This message will display after successful completion of the TCG Calibration. The caliper icon appears after any successful calibration procedure. Reflectors of equal size will now appear on the A-Scan display as echoes of equal amplitude, regardless of dierences in material depth.

Copyright byGE Oil &Gas, DigitalSolutions 50 Industrial ParkRoad Lewistown, PA 17044 3-23 02/23/2016 User’s Manual Mentor UT Portable Equipment In practice, the TCG function displays reflectors of equal size at equal A-Scan amplitudes, regardless of the reflector’s depth in the test material. This is accomplished by adjusting the gain at different locations in the A-scan display, corresponding to different material depths, to compensate for signal loss (or variation) due to attenuation, beam spread, or other factors. Note: A purple band appears on the Amplitude Display during the TCG calibration procedure. The band is centered on the TCG Target Amp setting, with a width defined by the Amplitude Tol setting. During the TCG calibration process, gain is added to increase the amplitude of each echo until it falls within this band. 1 – Select this button to open the TCG Setup menu, then confirm that TCG Type is set to Multi BW. If allowed by the application’s architect, Reflector Type and Number of TCG Points may also be input. Note: FBH (flat bottom hole) reflectors may not be chosen when performing a multiple backwall TCG calibration. 2 – Select this button to open the Part Setup menu, then input the thickness of the calibration standard. Remember, the Multiple Backwall TCG calibration process relies on recurring backwall echoes from a single known thickness. 3 – Begin the process by pressing the Calibration button. 4 – Continue to follow on-screen instructions to couple the attached phased array probe to the calibration block. The calibration process automatically steps the A-Gate from one recurring backwall echo to the next until the number of specified echoes (in this case, three) are recorded. 5 – This message will display after successful completion of the TCG Calibration. The caliper icon appears after any successful calibration procedure. Reflectors of equal size will now appear on the A-Scan display as echoes of equal amplitude, regardless of dierences in material depth. TCG Calibration (Multiple Backwall) When included by an application’s architect, the TCG (Time Corrected Gain) Calibration Multiple Backwall option compares recurring A-Scan backwall echoes from a calibration standard of one known thickness. Note that two alternative TCG calibration procedures are also described in this manual.
Mentor UT Portable Equipment User’s Manual TCG Calibration (FBH—Flat Bottom Hole) When included by an application’s architect, the TCG (Time Corrected Gain) Calibration compares the A-Scan indications from multiple echoes taken from different known reflectors. In this case, the reflectors are flat bottom holes (FBH) drilled into a calibration block at different known depths. Two alternative TCG calibration procedures are described on the previous pages. In practice, the TCG function displays reflectors of equal size at equal A-Scan amplitudes, regardless of the reflector’s depth in the test material. This is accomplished by adjusting the gain at different locations in the A-scan display, corresponding to different material depths, to compensate for signal loss (or variation) due to attenuation, beam spread, or other factors. Note: A purple band appears on the Amplitude Display during the TCG calibration procedure. The band is centered on the TCG Target Amp setting, with a width defined by the Amplitude Tol setting. During the TCG calibration process, gain is added to increase the amplitude of each echo until it falls within this band. 1 – The TCG Calibration (Multiple Step type with a FBH reflector) evaluates the amplitude of an A-scan echo recorded by measuring flat bottom holes drilled into a calibration block at multiple different known depths. Tap the Amplitude Display screen, then choose the indicated menu button to open the TCG Setup Menu. Specify the TCG Type, TCG Reflector, and TCG Count values. The procedure can involve up to 16 different points. The application shown here requires two different TCG readings. 2 – Begin the process by pressing the Calibration button. 3 – Continue to follow on-screen instructions to couple the attached phased array probe to the correct calibration block until reflectors from holes at all depths are recorded. Note that the operator must identify which TCG Point they next wish to capture by changing the value of the TCG Point parameter (4). Make sure the gate captures the correct A-Scan echo for each of the TCG points, then press the Calibration button to record that point and continue. 5 – After following the on-screen instructions to capture the last k nown reflector, press the Calibration button to complete the TCG Calibration process. 6 – This message will display after successful completion of the TCG Calibration. The caliper icon appears after any successful calibration procedure. Reflectors of equal size will now appear on the A-Scan display as echoes of equal amplitude, regardless of dierences in material depth.

Copyright byGE Oil &Gas, DigitalSolutions 50 Industrial ParkRoad Lewistown, PA 17044 3-25 02/23/2016 User’s Manual Mentor UT Portable Equipment Auto 80 Calibration When included by an application’s architect, the Auto 80 Calibration adjusts the gain so that the A-Scan echo from a known reflector appears at 80% of full-screen-height. Note: A purple band appears on the Amplitude Display during the Auto 80 calibration procedure. The band’s width is defined by the Amplitude Tol setting. During the Auto 80 calibration process, gain is added to increase the amplitude of the target A-Scan echo until it falls within this band. 1 – The Auto 80 Calibration evaluates the echo detected from a known reflector with a calibration sample and adjusts display gain so that the echo’s maximum amplitude appears at 80% of full-screen-height. 2 – The process will begin automatically when this banner appears at the top of the display. 3 – Follow on-screen instructions to couple the attached phased array probe to a calibration block. Capture the known reflector in the gate as shown. Press the Calibration button to continue. 4 – This message will display after successful completion of the Auto 80 Calibration. The caliper icon appears after any successful calibration procedure. Reflectors of sizes equal to the known reflector will now appear on the A-Scan display as echoes with maximum amplitude equal to approximately 80% of full-screen-height.
Mentor UT Portable Equipment User’s Manual Scanner / Encoder Check When included by an application’s architect, the Scanner Check compares the encoder signal received from the scanning fixture and compares it to the application’s as-designed values. The procedure requires movement of the scanner from an origin point, which is identified on its base, to a point near its extreme limit of motion and back to the origin. The check evaluates encoder accuracy as well as system hysteresis. 1 – The scanner’s range of motion and allowable variance is input by the application’s architect. The process will begin automatically when this banner appears at the top of the display. 2 – Follow on-screen instructions by moving the scanner to one of the marked origin points, then press the Calibration button. 3 – Move the scanner to the extreme range of motion (in both X and Y directions) away from the origin. Again, press the Calibration button. 4 – Return the scanner to the same origin point used in item 2, then press the Calibration button. 5 – This message will display after successful completion of the Scanner Check. The small display boxes at the bottom of the display screen show the actual measured values of scanner motion.

  • 39. Mentor UT Portable Equipment User’s Manual Selecting the Scan Pattern Provided an application’s architect has enabled the Scan Pattern parameter, the type of C-scan pattern is a user- selected feature. Options include Line Scan, Raster Scan, and Hand Scan. First, it’s important to recognize the terminology applied to C-scan axes: the X axis is known as the Scan Axis while the Y axis is identified as the Index Axis. Line and Raster Scans rely on an encoder to track movement along the Scan Axis while in a Hand Scan procedure the operator controls the probe’s movement with no positional feedback to the instrument. To produce a recognizable visual relationship between the C-scan and the part, it is important to move the probe in one direction and at a consistent speed across the part. Without the use of a mechanical encoder, the instrument is unaware of the operator reversing the probe’s direction of motion. A Line Scan provides mechanical encoding only along the Scan (X) Axis, while the Index (Y) Axis is defined only by the electronically controlled sequential firing of the probe’s elements. Raster Scan provides two axes of mechanical position, so the Index Axis is a combination of the sequential firing of the probe’s elements and a mechanically encoded Index Oset. The Scan Axis behaves the same on both Linear and Raster Scans. 1 – Touch the C-scan display to activate the menu buttons, then select this button to open the Scan Setup menu. Access the Scan Pattern parameter to choose between Line and Raster Scan. 2 – Line Scan 3 – The Scan (X) Axis, in both a Line and Raster Scan, is monitored by a mechanical encoder. 4 – A Line Scan’s Index (Y) Axis represents only the probe’s elements 5 – Raster Scan 6 – A Raster Scan’s Index Axis represents a combination of the probe’s elements and a mechanically encoded Index Oset (7).

  • 45. Mentor UT Portable Equipment User’s Manual TCG Calibration (Multiple Step) When included by an application’s architect, the TCG (Time Corrected Gain) Calibration compares the A-Scan indications from multiple echoes taken from different known- thickness calibration blocks. Two alternative TCG calibration procedures are described in the next two pages. In practice, the TCG function displays reflectors of equal size at equal A-Scan amplitudes, regardless of the reflector’s depth in the test material. This is accomplished by adjusting the gain at different locations in the A-scan display, corresponding to different material depths, to compensate for signal loss (or variation) due to attenuation, beam spread, or other factors. Note: A purple band appears on the Amplitude Display during the TCG calibration procedure. The band is centered on the TCG Target Amp setting, with a width defined by the Amplitude Tol setting. During the TCG calibration process, gain is added to increase the amplitude of each echo until it falls within this band. 1 – Begin the process by pressing the Calibration button. 2 – The TCG Calibration (multiple step option) evaluates backwall echo A-Scan amplitudes from samples of multiple different known thicknesses. The procedure can involve up to 16 different thickness readings. The application shown here requires five different thickness readings. 3 – Continue to follow on-screen instructions to couple the attached phased array probe to the correct calibration block until all five thicknesses are recorded. Make sure the gate captures the correct A-Scan echo for each of the TCG points, then press the Calibration button to record that point and continue. 4 – After following the on-screen instructions to capture the last known thickness, press the Calibration button to complete the TCG Calibration process. 5 – This message will display after successful completion of the TCG Calibration. The caliper icon appears after any successful calibration procedure. Reflectors of equal size will now appear on the A-Scan display as echoes of equal amplitude, regardless of dierences in material depth.
