Figure 6-57. Ultrasonic search fixture
installed in cylinder barrel
mounting flange.
(d) With the search fixture UPPER -
LOWER switch in the “UPPER” position ,
move the search fixture probe through the full
upward and downward travel.
Note.
When a heavy pulse echo enters the
right hand edge of the gate (view F, fig. 6-53),
the detector has reached the maximum down-
ward travel. Any alarm indicates a crack or
defect in the cylinder. Re-inspect the defect
suspect area.
If the alarm sounds again, the
cylinder must be scrapped.
Note.
Should the inspection reveal an
abnormally high cylinder reject rate, the tester
adjustments should be checked to be certain the
readings are correct.
(e) A signal appearing immediately to the
left of the gate indicates cylinder bore roughness.
The gate start may require minute adjustment
to the right to exclude this extraneous signal.
(f) Remove the search fixture from the
cylinder, empty the water, and remove the plug
from the bottom of the cylinder bore. If the
cylinder has no defects, treat it to prevent rust.
