Product Overview :

The TFM Demo Block from NDE Flaw Tech is a specially crafted demonstration and reference standard developed for advanced ultrasonic testing. Designed with precision, this block is optimized for Total Focusing Method (TFM) and Full Matrix Capture (FMC) techniques, ensuring inspectors and trainees gain the best possible insight into system capabilities.

Unlike traditional calibration blocks, the TFM Demo Block combines multiple defect features into a compact, easy-to-use format. It is built to replicate practical inspection challenges while maintaining the accuracy and repeatability required for professional training, demonstrations, and quality checks.

Core Specifications:

Size: 25 mm × 40 mm × 175 mm (compact and portable).

Material: High-strength 1018 steel with a protective nickel plating.

Embedded Features:

18 precision side-drilled holes (SDHs), 1 mm diameter, arranged in an arc

6 additional SDHs grouped for resolution testing

Corrosion simulation area across the width of the block, with a central 2 mm Flat Bottom Hole (FBH)

1 mm wide slot with two depths (5 mm and 10 mm) for sensitivity and depth evaluation

Identification: Laser-engraved details with a unique serial number for full traceability.

Why Choose TFM Demo Block?

All-in-One Training Tool: Multiple flaw simulations in a single block eliminate the need for multiple samples.

Realistic Practice: Features like corrosion and slots create conditions close to real inspection challenges.

Engineered for Reliability: Nickel-plated finish resists wear and extends block life.

Portable & Efficient: Lightweight and compact, suitable for both classrooms and on-site demonstrations.

Inspector Confidence: Allows users to visualize, measure, and validate TFM imaging with accuracy.

Applications:

• Inspector training on phased array systems
• Demonstrations of TFM and FMC performance
• Verification of resolution, focusing, and sizing accuracy
• Classroom instruction and practical workshops
