GE Krautkramer USM 35X - ANGLE (Angle of Incidence); X-VALUE (X-Value of the Probe)

5-32 Issue 01, 04/2005 Krautkramer USM 35X
Operation
When using angle-beam probes, the instrument can
additionally calculate the sound path section or so-
called leg L up to the next reflection point. This sound
path section or leg can be displayed as the measured
value La, Lb, or Lc.
Calculation of flaw position (function group TRIG)
ANGLE (Angle of incidence)
The ANGLE function enables you to adjust the angle of
incidence of your probe for the material used. This val-
ue is required for the automatic calculation of the flaw
position.
Adjustment range: 0° ... 90°
– Select the ANGLE function.
– Use the right-hand rotary knob to select the required
setting.
X-VALUE (X-value of the probe)
The function X-VALUE enables you to set the X-value
(distance between the probe’s leading face and probe
index/sound exit point) of the probe used. This value is
required for the automatic calculation of the reduced
projection distance.
Adjustment range: 0 ... 100 mm/0 ... 40"
– Select the function X-VALUE.
– Use the right-hand rotary knob to set the required value.
