Spending today remembering a project from 2018. We provided coatings inspection services for the historic 125th Street Station in NYC. This project had a few hurdles to work through, but in the end, the team got everything worked out.

The process of coating inspection monitors environmental conditions, surface cleanliness, mix and application, and the final product conditions, such as dry film thickness, coverage, and visual appearance.

We spent the afternoon performing some calibrations in the lab.

This weekend, we had a Sonotest D-50 Ultrasound Machine and, as pictured, a few torque wrenches.

This wrench can apply 70-300 foot-pounds of torque. When it reaches the set range, there is a breakaway and a click sound. The trade name for this style of wrench is a clicker.

The photo shows the 150 ft/lb range being verified.

We have had an interest in the cables we use for ultrasonic testing. Using our limited knowledge of electronics, we patched together this method for checking the cable.

We used a 50 ohm termination cap tied to the RG58 (50 ohm) cable, then a BNC-to-probe connector.

We have 50 ohms of resistance across the circuit.

Any “feedback” is appreciated.

One of our side projects, our analog torque calibrator, moved on to greener pastures, so we added this digital unit to our calibration equipment collection.

We hope to have it fully operational by the end of February (procedures, software, etc.) But anticipate offering torque-wrench calibration testing up to 750 ft/lbs once we are done.

Phase 3 Testing is underway. In this series, we are evaluating signal strength at known depths.

To create a separate dataset, we calibrated with an unadulterated gel but took readings with all blend types.

The next step is to perform the same series of tests, calibrating the equipment for each gel and blend type.

I thought this was only going to look at one couplant parameter, but here I am wondering if I can sneak a 4th phase into the work.

Phase Two of the adulterated couplant work is in the books.

Shown is the 6.0-inch side of the DS Block on a 20.0-inch range. The 500-gram weight created consistent pressure from test to test. The second photo shows the 1.0-inch side of the IIW block. This was performed on a 2.5-inch range.

Up next, Phase Three, shear wave comparison of the SDH in the IIW block and AWS attenuation of a known indication.

This project is about a year in the making. We are performing viscosity testing of adulterated ultrasonic couplant.

Pictured are the blends and ratios we came up with: Tap Water, Windshield Washer Fluid, Antifreeze, and RV Water Line Treatment. Each has a blend of 25% and 50%. We were able to obtain viscosity readings for each blend, but the couplant began structurally failing with each one.

Up next (2026) is physical and acoustic testing to determine whether there are any effects on sound transmission. The little bottles were created to have gel for future testing.
