5.1.3.4 Test procedure The general procedure for detection of surface flaws is as follows Standardisation: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Connect the probe to be used to the instrument, switch on the test instrument, conduct a battery condition check and allow the instrument to warm up for at least 5 minutes. Ensure the test area is clean and free from loose paint, dirt, or other contaminants. Select the frequency required and set the gain to the middle of its range. Apply the probe to the reference block at a location away from the reference discontinuities with the coil axis at right angles to the surface, and balance the instrument. Adjust the spot if required to approximately the centre of the display. The spot can be located in the lower right hand quadrant if desired to allow more space to view signals to the right (lift-off) and upwards (flaw signals). Raise the probe slightly from the surface to obtain a lift-off signal, and adjust the phase so that increasing lift-off gives a signal horizontally to the left, continually raising and lowering the probe to the test surface to monitor the lift-off signal during this adjustment. Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang
(f) Scan over the appropriate discontinuity in the reference block then adjust the probe position to obtain a maximum signal from the discontinuity. Set the gain so that the maximum signal from the discontinuity has the amplitude required by the test procedure. A common requirement when using a standard reference block is to adjust the gain so that the vertical component of the signal from the 0.5 mm slot is one third of the total screen height (see signal no 2 in FIG. 5.3). For some instruments, changing the gain may affect the balance, so it may be necessary to rebalance and check that the liftoff and discontinuity signals and adjust as required. If the instrument allows changing the X (horizontal) to Y (vertical) gain ratio, the Y gain can be increased above the X gain if desired. This increases the vertical component of flaw signals, making them more easily detected, and reduces the lift-off signal amplitude. Note that if the X and Y gains are different, the phase of the signals is distorted compared with their normal appearance. Excessive difference between the X and Y gain is to be avoided. (g) Apply the probe to the test surface with the coil axis at right angles to the surface, and rebalance the instrument. Readjust the phase if necessary so that the lift-off signal is horizontal to the left, but do not adjust the gain. Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang
