Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

This standard is equivalent to the ISO16946:2017 international standard, which specifies the technical requirements for steel step test blocks used for the calibration of ultrasonic testing equipment. The test blocks are made of S355J0 grade steel (domestic equivalent grade Q355C) specified in EN10025-2, and the material is isotropic through a special heat treatment process.


Key technical indicators

ParametersRequirementsTesting methods
Dimensional accuracyLength/width±0.1mm, step thickness-0.02mmThree-coordinate measurement
Surface roughnessRa≤0.8μmProfilometer testing
Acoustic performanceLongitudinal wave velocity 5920±30m/sWater immersion ultrasonic testing
Internal qualityClutter is 50dB lower than the bottom wave10MHz straight probe scanning

Main points of manufacturing process

Heat treatment process:The quenching and tempering process of 920℃ quenching + 650℃ tempering is adopted, and the surface layer of 2mm needs to be removed during machining. The practice of a certain shipbuilding enterprise shows that this process can reduce the attenuation coefficient of the test block by 15%.

Ultrasonic verification:A ≥10MHz probe must be used for full-area scanning, and the water immersion method is recommended to eliminate coupling differences. The test data of Dongfang Boiler shows that the water immersion method has a 20% improvement in measurement repeatability compared to the contact method.


Comparison with international standards

Compared with ISO7963, ISO2400 and other calibration block standards, the innovation of this standard is:

  • For the first time, the ultra-high precision requirement of -0.02mm when the step thickness is ≤12.5mm is clarified
  • Stress relief tempering at 650℃×3h is required after quenching
  • A 50dB signal-to-noise ratio requirement for background clutter and bottom wave is added

Implementation suggestions

1. Purchase verification:Suppliers should be required to provide sound velocity test reports and heat treatment curve records

2. Periodic calibration:It is recommended to re-measure the sound velocity value with a standard probe every 6 months. If the drift is greater than 15m/s, it needs to be replaced

3. Use Specifications: The case of Bohai Shipyard shows that the storage temperature fluctuation of the test block should be controlled within ±5℃
