Smay be located anywhere within the examined volume. “Various NDE methods are capable of detecting tertiary (3rd stage) creep and some, particulary using special techniques, are capable of detecting secondary (2nd stage) creep. There are various descriptions! detintlons forthe stages of creep and a paricular desenptiondetnition wi not be applicable to all materials and product forms. GENERAL NOTE: Table A-110 ists imperfections and NDE methods that are capable of detecting them. It must be kept in mind that this table is very general in nature. Many factors iniuence the detectability of impertactons. This Table assumes that onty qualified personnel are performing nondestructive examinations and good conditions exist to permit examination (good access, sutace conditions, cleanliness, etc).
