ISO 18563-3:2015涉及实现线性相控阵探头的超声波测试系统，其中心频率范围在0.5 MHz〜10 MHz范围内，接触（带或不带楔）或浸没。 它为验证组合设备（即仪器，探头和连接的电缆）的性能提供了方法和验收标准。所描述的方法适用于在现场或车间条件下工作的用户。其目的是在测试之前验证系统的正确操作，以及声束的表征或系统不退化的验证。 这些方法并不旨在证明系统对特定应用的适用性，而是用于证明组合设备根据所使用的设置产生超声波束的能力。 用于特定应用的系统的校准超出了ISO 18563的一部分范围，并且旨在被测试程序所涵盖。 ISO 18563-3:2015未解决以下问题: - 围绕阵列; - 具有不同数量元件的一系列孔; - 用于发送和接收的不同设置（例如有效孔径，有效元件数量，延迟）; - 使用后期处理技术

ISO 18563-3:2015 addresses ultrasonic test systems implementing linear phased array probes, in contact (with or without wedge) or in immersion, with centre frequencies in the range of 0,5 MHz?10 MHz. It provides methods and acceptance criteria for verifying the performance of combined equipment (i.e. instrument, probe and cables connected). The methods described are suitable for users working under on-site or shop floor conditions. Its purpose is for the verification of the correct operation of the system prior to testing, and also the characterization of sound beams or verification of the absence of degradation of the system. The methods are not intended to prove the suitability of the system for particular applications, but are intended to prove the capability of the combined equipment to generate ultrasonic beams according to the settings used. The calibration of the system for a specific application is outside of the scope of part of ISO 18563 and it is intended that it be covered by the test procedure. ISO 18563-3:2015 does not address the following: - encircling arrays; - series of apertures having a different number of elements; - different settings for transmitting and receiving (e.g. active aperture, number of active elements, delays); - techniques using post-processing of the signals of individual elements in a more complex manner than a simple delay law (e.g. full matrix capture).
