Sensitivity Calibration of Ultrasonic Detectors Based Using ADD Diagrams

Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The paper considers basic problems related to utilization of ADD diagrams in calibrating sensitivity of ultrasonic detectors. We suggest that a convenient tool for solving such problems can be the software package ADD Universal. Version 2.1 designed for plotting individual ADD diagrams for normal and slanted transducers. The software is compatible with the contemporary operational system Windows-95(98). Reference signals for calibration are generated in a sample with cylindrical holes.
