2.2 Probe Zero & Calibration
The next step is to calibrate the
PR-8V
to the material and transducer being used. If
the materials sound velocity is unknown, the
PR-8V
can be calibrated to a known
thickness sample. This demo will briefly explain both of these techniques.
In either case, the transducer
MUST
be zeroed on the probe zero disk (battery cover)
located on the top of the unit as follows:
Performing a Probe Zero
1) Apply a drop of couplant on the transducer and place the transducer in
steady contact with the probe zero disk, and obtain a steady reading.
