Description
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an extensive field that plays a vital role in determining the functioning of systems and components. This work describes a didactic methodology to calibrate the OmniScan MX2 equipment manufactured by Olympus which is based phase in phased array ultrasound technology. In this study was used an ultrasonic transducer (SA10- N55S 5L16) composed by sixteen linear array elements. For the standard calibration, the angular beam had 36.1º, the frequency had 5MHz and the pattern block was the AW5083 manufactured in 6061 aluminum alloy.
