Distance-Amplitude #3, #5, #8 FBH Blocks<br />

Distance-amplitude blocks also very similar to the distance/area-amplitude<br />

blocks pictured above. Nineteen block sets with flat-bottom holes of a single<br />

size and varying metal path distances are also commercially available. Sets<br />

have either a #3 (3/64") FBH, a #5 (5/64") FBH, or a #8 (8/64") FBH. The<br />

metal path distances are 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1", 1-1/4",<br />

1-3/4", 2-1/4", 2-3/4", 3-14", 3-3/4", 4-1/4", 4-3/4", 5-1/4", and 5-3/4". The<br />

relationship between the metal path distance and the signal amplitude is<br />

determined by comparing signals from same size flaws at different depth.<br />

Sets are commonly sold in 4340 Vacuum melt Steel, 7075-T6 Aluminum, and<br />

Type 304 Corrosion Resistant Steel. Aluminum blocks are fabricated per the<br />

requirements of ASTM E127, Standard Practice <strong>for</strong> Fabricating and Checking<br />

Aluminum Alloy <strong>Ultrasonic</strong> Standard Reference Blocks. Steel blocks are<br />

fabricated per the requirements of ASTM E428, Standard Practice <strong>for</strong><br />

Fabrication and Control of Steel Reference Blocks Used in <strong>Ultrasonic</strong><br />

Inspection.
