Confirm the reading displayed on the Non - Destructive Test Instrument corresponds to the taggant level of the Master Standard. Note: Either Master Standard (95% or 67%) may be used. If you are measuring

15、 unmixed materia l, use the 95% Master Standard; if you are working with mixed material, the 67% Master Standard may be used. d. If necessary, adjust the readout display on the instrument to match the level of the Master Standard. Refer to the Appendix and Manufacturer s manual for specific instruct

16、ions on adjusting the readout displayed. e. The instrument is now ready to measure the ferromagnetic responsiveness of the prepared samples. f. Confirm the Master Standard reading before testing each new sample set. 2. Measuring Ferromagnetic Responsiveness of Test Specimens: a. Place the test speci

17、men in the eddy coil. Ensure that at least 25mm of the specimen is protruding from either end of the coil (see Figure 1). In the case of the K.J. Law Verimet N7700 Non - D estructive Test, the readout displayed corresponds to the percent taggant present in the material. b. Condition the test specime

30、tabletop may cause magnetic interference. 3. Move the cursor to CYCLE and press ENTER 4. Place the 95% Master Standard in the coil. Observe the reading displayed on the Verimet N7700. The reading on the instrument represents the taggant level of the sample being tested. Thus, a reading of 95 represe

31、nts 95.0%, and a readi ng of 67.0 represents 67.0%. If the reading does not read 95+/ - 1, perform the following steps to correct the readout: a. Record the current reading of the 95% Master. Let this value by A1. b. Solve the following equation for A2: A2=95 - A1 c. Press ESC to return to the main

32、menu. d. Move the cursor to DIAGNOSE and press ENTER two times. e. Mover the cursor to GAINS/OFFSETS and press ENTER. f. Record the current value for AMP OFFSET. Let this value by A3. g. Solve the following for A4: h. A4=A3+A2 i. Move the cursor to AMP OFFSET and press ENTER. j. Change the value to the number calculated for A4. k. Press ESC four times to return to the main menu. l. Move the cursor to CYCLE and press ENTER. m. Verify that the reading on the 95% master now reads 95+/ - 1. 5. The instrument is now ready to test the tagged specimens.
