A CORRELATION STUDY BETWEEN ULTRASONIC, RADIOGRAPHIC AND VISUAL EXAMINATION OF HEAVY STEEL PLATE WELDMENTS

DATA IS PRESENTED FROM THE RADIOGRAPHIC AND ULTRASONIC (BOTH MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC) INSPECTION OF 16 HY-80 STEEL PLATE BUTT WELDS. THE RESULTS OF VISUAL EXAMINATION OF 95 SECTIONS CUT FROM EIGHT OF THE WELDS ARE COMPARED TO RADIOGRAPHIC AND ULTRASONIC INSPECTION DATA AT THESE LOCATIONS. THE VALIDITY OF THE ULTRASONIC INSPECTION PROCESS WAS FOUND TO BE ALMOST TWICE AS GREAT AS THE VALIDITY OF THE RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION PROCESS. RESULTS OF THE VISUAL EXAMINATION OF WELD SECTIONS ARE DISCUSSED IN RELATION TO THEORY. /AUTHOR/
