Abstract:
The theory of a new B-mode registration test procedure is presented along with experimental verification of the detailed theoretical predictions. The new procedure separately tests the B-scan articulated arm calibration and the equipment acoustic velocity calibration. Readily verifiable secondary standards are incorporated into the procedure for self-calibration purposes. The procedure provides a specific and reproducible analysis of angular misregistration errors while maintaining an acceptable level of sensitivity. No coupling gels or oils operator skill is required. A special test has been found which permits the service person to verify that the equipment is capable of attaining proper B-mode registration before beginning the recalibration procedure.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
