Abstract
A module to help in calibration of a device for inspection of metallurgical products including a memory configured to store data in a form of value/angle pairs. Each pair corresponds to an amplitude of response to an ultrasound inspection in a direction of the metallurgical product corresponding to the angle. A calculator is configured to perform a processing function on the stored data. A first set of data involves a polydirectional reflector disposed in the metallurgical product. A second set of data involves a directional reflector disposed in the metallurgical product. The processing function establishes a third set of data by interpolation of pairs of the first set of data and the second set of data. The pairs of the third set correspond to standard amplitudes for ultrasound inspections along at least some of the working directions of the polydirectional reflector.
