Abstract
This paper reports the measurement procedure used for inspection of st ainless steel cladding and sizing of flaws with inclined longitudinal transmitter-receiver probes. The special characteristics of these prob es are discussed and a practical solution for calibration is presented . The results achieved in reactor pressure vessels inspections verify the applicability and accuracy of the technique described in this pape r.
