Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Chapter I Overview This is a portable industrial non-destructive flaw detector, which can rapidly, easily and accurately inspect, locate, evaluate and diagnose various defects (crack, inclusion and pinhole, etc.) in a workpiece without destruction. It can be used both in a lab and field.

Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Item Quantity Carrying case 2.3 Optional Accessory Item Different straight and angle beam Different cables Different test blocks Chapter III Preparation 3.1 Overview of Instrument Direction: up,down,left and right. Down straight: Confirm and Data Plus fine adjustment.
3.2.3 Usage of power supply DFD30 can work with plug-in power supply (AC, DC adaptor) or battery. The detector uses the power supply to adapter automatically when the power supply adapter is connected. In the other hand, the detector uses the power supply to battery automatically when the power supply adapter is not connected.
In detail 3.4 Overall of main menu Main functions of DFD30 are included in functional groups and several special functions. The functional groups include BASE, P/R, GATE, CHAN, AGLEY, GAIN DAC1, DAC2, AVG1, AVG1,BSCAN, SCR, MEM, CFG, ADV they will be introduced in the following table.

Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Fine adjustment: +1 or -1mm Under RANGE, press down key. Right now, there are two tri-angle appear. Under this condition, press + or – key to realize fine adjustment. 5.1.2 db-STEP Press left or right key to enter into BASE SETTING, then press up or down key to choose db-STEP.
To measure the position and size of flaw echo. DFD30 is equipped with double-gate function: Gate A and Gate B, normally Gate A is used alone for detecting the workpiece flaw, and the double-gate is usually used in the measuring and calibration of multi-echo, eg. Measuring the distance between surface echo and first echo during thickness measurement.

Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Under a GATE and b GATE, press up or down key to choose a THRESH and b THRESH, press + or – key to make change. Parameter ange: 3.5%-96.5% 5.2.4 a LOGIC and b LOGIC This menu is multipurpose for gate logic.
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Thru: Two separate transducers, typically on opposite sides of the test specimen. Use the top transducer connector as the transmitter. The bottom transducer connector is designated as the receiver. Under PULS, press up or down key to choose PROBE TYPE, press + or – key to make change.
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 5.4.1 MEAS There are two styles: PEAK and FLANK. PEAK: The detection occurs at the highest peak in the gate. FLANK: The detection occurs as teh first half cycle left edge rises and breaks the threshold.

Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Making of DAC curve 1. Please do caliration of Probe zero, X-value as well as K-value of angle beam. Acccording to specific condition, please do set the range, for example reference test block, take a hole of 10mm in depth and let the echo at the highest peak to be 90% full of screen.
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 5.5.2 DGS This feature toggles the DGS feature on/off. Distance Gain Size (DGS) curve is used to configure a variable threshold for the gate using a single reflector using an empirically derived set of curves. 5.5.3 AWS This feature toggles the AWS feature on/off.
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Under A-Scan mode, press left or right direction key to set TRIG. 5.7.1 ANGLE It is to adjust the angle of a probe. Range: 0.0-90.0 Under TRIG, press up or down key to choose ANGLE, press + or – key to make change.
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 5.8.1 WELD There are several types of weld detection stored in the main unit, such as Type I, Type V, Type U and Type X. Take Type I as an example, weld width, weld distance show on the display. Users could make change according to different condition.
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 5.9.3 UNIT It is selectable between Metric and English. 5.9.4 DATE This menu offers to record and check time. Under menu of SET, press up or down key to choose DATE, press down key to move the cursor, + or – key to make change.
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 6.2 Calibration of angle beam probe For the convenience of user’s calibration of probe angle、front edge、zero point, the function of calibration is built in the gauge. Furthermore, users can also do the calibration of probe as what is shown here.Angle probe can be calibrated with the following method: A standard angle probe which is frequency 5MHz, wafer 8mm×...
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 probe zero point, when users receive the highest peak of echo as R100, as the graph shows below, the distance between edge of test bloce and front face of the probe as L1. X-Value =100-L1. (2) Under TRIG menu, choose X-value through up or down key, set X-value by pressing Data plus key as calculated above.
Usage and maintenance of battery DFD30 is equipped with easy movable Li-battery. The power of battery displays on the right down corner. If the power is too low, following condition happens: white screen, or re-open, or failure in power on. “Low battery, please power off”...

Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 Appendix II Terms This Appendix has listed the terms concerning ultrasonic non-destructive inspection involved in the Instructions, a good understanding of the exact meaning of these terms will be helpful for using the Instructions better. Pulse amplitude: voltage amplitude of a pulse signal. When type A display is used, normally it is the height from time base to the pulse peak.
Page 27
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector DFD30 22. Frequency of echo: inverse of time of peak interval obtained by observing when the echo extends on the time axis. 23. Sensitivity: a kind of dimension for the min. ultrasonic signal identifiable that is generated on the ultrasonic detector’s fluorescent screen.
