V1 Calibration Block

Description

V1 Calibration Block

Product information

Calibration test blocks are non representative tools, meaning that they are not manufactured from actual parts. Rather, they are of simplified design and contain manufactured discontinuities such as holes, angles, radii and more. Calibration Test Blocks serve the purpose of standardising and calibrating test equipment to ensure that it is functioning properly.

V1 calibration blocks are machined in the same manner as other metal parts, using normal machine shop equipment such as saws, milling machines, lathes, surface grinders and engravers. There are many organisations that govern the manufacture of standard test blocks, such as IIW, ASME, ASTM, ISO, and many others.

As with any good manufacturing process, there are several important things to consider when manufacturing test blocks. Good quality raw materials of the correct alloys are the place to start. Most specifications list the desired alloy, or leave it up to the manufacturer of the blocks and the client to make the right decision.

The V1 calibration block is used for calibrating ultrasonic flaw detection equipment in both laboratory and on-site conditions.
