Description / Abstract:
Purpose:
This specification covers the procedure for ultrasonic
inspection of flat, contoured, and cylindrical products having a
cross-sectional thickness of 0.02 to 0.50 inches (0.5 to 12.7 mm).
This specification does not apply to inspection of composite
materials.
Application:
This process has been used typically for locating and defining
internal defects, such as cracks, voids, laminations, and other
structural discontinuities, which may or may not be exposed to the
surface, but usage is not limited to such applications.
