How To Clean Sonicator Probe
Sep 17, 2022
Ultrasonic flaw detector cleaning steps.
1. Make sure the instrument is turned off and disconnected from the power cord.
2. Disconnect all cable box connectors and ensure that all external ports of the ultrasonic flaw detector are tightly covered with rubber protective covers.
3. Make sure that all openable doors are closed.
4. Close the cover on the network connection interface.
5. Make sure that the battery compartment cover is properly closed.
6. To restore the original luster of the instrument casing, wipe the casing with a soft cloth.
7. For difficult-to-remove dirt, a damp cloth should be dipped in soft soapy water for cleaning. Do not use rough cleaning tools or strong decontamination solvents to avoid damaging the surface of the case.
8. After removing the protective cover of the interface, please ensure that each interface is in a dry state before connecting the cable. If the interface is not dry, please dry it with a dry soft cloth, or let it dry naturally
9. Screen cleaning. Never use rough cleaning tools or strong decontamination solvents to clean the ultrasonic flaw detector screen. Wipe the screen with a damp cloth dampened with standard evaporative glass cleaning fluid. If necessary, use a soft-bristle brush to remove any remaining paper scraps. Never spray liquid directly around the interface. Liquid may leak into the seams or flow inside the case and damage the circuit.
Ultrasonic flaw detector selection requirements:
1. For those with high positioning requirements, an instrument with a small horizontal linear error should be selected;
2. For those with high quantitative requirements, an instrument with small vertical linearity error and high precision should be selected;
3. For flaw detection of large workpieces, an instrument with high sensitivity margin, high signal-to-noise ratio and high power should be selected;
4. In order to effectively find near-surface defects and distinguish adjacent defects, it is necessary to choose an instrument with a small blind area and good resolution (the blind area is generally 5mm to 10mm, and the secondary echo can be used to avoid the blind area or use a dual-element probe);
5. For on-site flaw detection, it is necessary to choose an instrument with light weight, good brightness and strong anti-interference ability (high-brightness screen is better than color screen).
