Public Abstract
The report presents a critical review of the (then) state-of-the art ultrasonic methods and procedures available for nondestructive evaluation of weldments. They type of flaw considered was the planar - totally embedded reflector. Amplitude-dependent and amplitude-independent flaw characterization techniques are examined by theoretical and experiemental means to assess detecting ability and reliability. Emphasis is given to flaw characterization in terms of location, size and orientation.
