Abstract
Because the reliability, of low-cost manual ultrasonic testing is limi ted by human factors, it cannot compete with radiographic inspection o f welded joints, in spite of the higher attainable flaw sensitivity. T o minimise these human factors, a new 'I-2-Sonic' manual ultrasonic te sting procedure has been developed. The principles, the results obtain ed and some new concepts are discussed.
