F.5.2 TUBE PROBE ALIGNMENT
For the first time the probe is mounted, RDS recognises it and asks for alignment.
It is possible as well to access the alignment from RDS menu.
Tube probes (NCP) must be aligned on a T-tube artefact, perfectly straight, with a constant and known
diameter, with ends perfectly perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, and with a known horizontal length.
(See previous chart for recommended dimensions of artefact)
Non-contact Tube Probe process consists by measuring points on several sections and ends of the artefact,
from different orientations of the probe.
Preparation
Place and fix the tube artefact in front of the arm, keeping the known length part of the tube in horizontal
position.
Artefact properties (step1)
RDS ask for the artefact characteristics: enter the diameter and length, and press “select”.
Vertical tube measurement
Measure one point on the high section of the vertical tube, then one point on the low section, keeping the
probe as perpendicular as possible to the tube.
Do the measurement from the right side of the tube (1) then from the left side (2)
