11. Press Clear (P5) to complete the calibration and move to the Inspect mode.
12. If you are not satisfied with the collected points, you can overwrite a particular
point using the previous parameter keys (P1, P2, or P3), or press Clear (P5) to
clear the entire calibration and begin again.
11.5.3.2 Crack Sizing
Once the API 5UE software has been properly calibrated to a reference notch, use the
following steps to size a crack using Manual mode.
To size a crack using Manual mode
1. Find the signal from the potential defect bring to maximum amplitude (see API’s
Recommended Practice 5UE for crack scanning and inspection requirements).
2. If necessary, use 2
ND
F, (AUTO XX%) to bring the peak amplitude to 80 % of FSH
to ensure the peak amplitude is displayed on the screen.
3. Press RefAMax (P2) to assign this peak amplitude value as A
max
. Note the value
of the peak amplitude in %FSH.
