The calibration of blocks used within NDT testing processes is a crucial requirement. Reference standards are used for a variety of block materials, including:
The process used for such calibration requires defects to be machined into the material or block part for inspection to simulate anticipated defects in the material. This demands a bespoke approach to each project.
To achieve this, various technologies are commonly used. Because of the complexities of some shapes – perhaps being straight, angled, curved, concave or convex either blind or through – technologies, such as EDM (wire and sinker) and CNC machining are ideal.
These custom calibration blocks can be used for various NDT methods, such as:
As with all our precision engineering processes, the creation of calibration blocks begins with a design meeting to understand your requirements. This in-depth discovery allows accuracy from the outset. All our calibration projects conform to ASE Section V specifications.
When you partner with SixDe for your calibration block needs, you benefit from:
In addition, SixDe customers have the added security of dealing with a Perth-based Australian company. We’re ideally situated to provide the highest quality, yet local, service for Western Australian businesses. However, our reach is extensive, with the capacity and reach for the wider Aussie market and internationally.
Another welcome advantage is our wholly in-house team. SixDe is proud that every element of our precision engineering services is in our control. From customer service to design, production to logistics, we’re responsible for every element of our business model. This means customers can rest assured that they’ll have no worries from outside contractors and the associated potential issues this can bring.
Ready to get in contact? Simply call or email today and we’ll arrange an initial (no-obligation) discussion with a member of our highly experienced design team. This can either take place in our Perth office, at your premises or via a video call.
Our goal for every project is the smoothest journey from the design stage to production. Decades of industry experience not only make us a superior provider, but also means that we appreciate the need for speed and economic viability. We strive to exceed expectations in every element of our service – one of the many reasons that our customers return to us time and again for their precision engineering needs.
SixDe utilises extensive industry know-how across a variety of advanced technologies – such as EDM plunger/sinker, EDM wire cutting and CNC machining – to craft calibration blocks to your exact requirements.
