A GUIDE FOR ULTRASONIC TESTING AND EVALUATION OF WELD FLAWS

This document presents procedures and acceptance limits for contact ultrasonic inspection of steel butt welds in the thickness range of 1/4 to 2 inches. The acceptance limits described in the following sections are compatible with those set forth in SSC-117, Guide for Interpretation of Nondestructive Tests of Welds in Ship Hull Structures for radiographic inspection and should therefore result in satisfactory ship welds.
