Abstract

Describes the method for detecting discontinuities and for measuring their locations and dimensions on full penetration welds of ferritic steel with thickness of 6 mm or more by manual ultrasonic examination (hereafter referred to as "examination") by means of an ultrasonic test instrument using ultrasonic pulse (here after referred to as "test instrument") with a scope display.
