Important Notice
The following information must be read and understood by any user of
a GE Inspection Technologies ultrasonic thickness gauge. Failure to
follow these instructions can lead to errors in thickness measurements
or other test results. Decisions based on erroneous results can, in turn,
lead to property damage, personal injury or death.
General Warnings
Proper use of ultrasonic test equipment requires three essential ele-
ments:
◆
Selection of the correct test equipment.
◆
Knowledge of the specific “test application requirements.”
◆
Training on the part of the instrument operator.
This operating manual provides instruction in the basic set up and
operation of the GE Inspection Technologies thickness gauge.
There are, however, additional factors which affect the use of ultrasonic
test equipment. Specific information regarding these additional factors
is beyond the scope of this manual. The operator should refer to text-
books on the subject of ultrasonic testing for more detailed information.
Operator Training
Operators must receive adequate training before using ultrasonic test
equipment. Operators must be trained in general ultrasonic testing
procedures and in the set up and performance required by a particular
test. Operators must understand:
◆
Soundwave propagation theory.
◆
Effects of the sound velocity of the test material.
◆
Behavior of the sound wave where two different materials
are in contact.
◆
Areas covered by the sound beam.
