DMS Go+

10.1 Application notes

General notes

The DMS Go+ is easy to use and produces reliable and 
reproducible measurement results if handled correctly 
and in consideration of all the conditions which may af-
fect the accuracy of measurements. Some of the most 
common influential factors are explained in this chapter.

External inclusions inside the material

If the DMS Go+ displays a value during a sequence of 
measurements which is considerably smaller than the 
one obtained from a measuring point lying in the close 
vicinity, this may have been caused by a material defect 
(for example external inclusion) reflecting the sound 
pulses instead of the backwall. If this occurs, this area 
should by checked by means of another suitable NDT 
method in order to find out the cause for the conspicu-
ous reading.

Surface quality

Tool marks running parallel to the coupling face may 
cause measurement errors in the case of a great peak-
to-valley height. If the acoustic separation layer of the 
probe is set at right angles to the marks, this effect does 
not occur.

Incorrect readings are obtained in some cases due to a 
too rough test surface because of excessive couplant 
accumulating between the probe and the test object sur-
face. Very rough surfaces can totally prevent the cou-
pling (no coupling signal). A surface treatment is re-
quired in such cases.

Curved surfaces

In measurements on convex surfaces, for example 
tubes or cylindrical tanks, it is necessary to couple the 
probe to the surface center for radial scanning. The 
acoustic separation layer of the probe must be set at 
right angles to the longitudinal axis of the test object 
(please refer to figure on the next page). Probes with 
small contact face diameters improve the coupling on 
convex surfaces.
