6.4.8 Butt Joints
All butt joint welds shall be tested from each side of the
weld axis. Corner and T-joint welds shall be primarily
tested from one side of the weld axis only. All welds
shall be tested using the applicable scanning pattern or
patterns shown in AWS D1.1 : 2006, Figure 6.24 as
necessary to detect both longitudinal and transverse
flaws. It is intended that, as a minimum, all welds be
tested by passing sound through the entire volume of the
weld and the heat-affected zone in two crossing
directions,wherever applicable.
6.4.9 For partial weld penetration,testing and evaluation shall

be made up to the weld size as per specified in the
drawing.
6.4.10Maximum Indication
When a discontinuity indication aPPearson the screen/

the maximum attainable indication from the
discontinuity shall be adjusted to produce a horizontal
reference level trace deflection on the display. This
adjustment shall be made with the calibrated gain control
(attenuator), and the instrument reading in decibels shall
be used as the "Indication Level, a" for calculating the
"Indication Rating, d". Horizontal referencelevel is 80%
of full screenheight.
6.4.11,Attenuation Factor
The "Attenuation Factor, c" shall be attained by

subtracting 1 in (25mm) from the sound-path distance
and multiplying the remainder by 2. This factor shall be
rounded out on the nearestdB value. Fractionalvalues
less than 1/zdB shall be reduced to the lower dB level
and those of 1/zdB or greater increased to the higher
level.

difference in decibels between the indication level and
the referencelevel with the correction for attenuation as

Instrumentswith gain in dB:
a-b-c=d
Instrument with attenuationdB:

6.5 Discontinuity SizeEvaluation
6.5.1, Length
The length of indication shall be determined by

measuring the distance between the probe centerline
locations where the indication rating amplitude drops
50To (6 dB) below the rating for the applicable
classification. This length shall be recorded under
"discontinuity length" on the test report.
6.5.2 Height
The discontinuity height (depth dimension) should be

determined using the following methods:
(i) The indication height should be maximized by

moving the search unit to and from the
discontinuity in accordancewith A of figureK-12.
The indication height should be adjusted to a
known value (e.g.,80%of full screenheight FSH).
(ii) The search unit should move towards the

discontinuity until the indication height begins to
drop rapidly and continuously towards the base
Iine. The location of the leading (left) edge of the
indication at location B in FigureS.l2 in relation to
the display horizontal baseline scaleshould be

APPENDIX VII
DAC CURVE AND SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION
L.0 Sensitivity Calibration
Standard sensitivity for examination of Production weld using

amplitude technique shall be: basic sensitivity + distance amplitude
correction + transfer correction.
2.0 BasicSensitivity
Referencelevel screenheight obtained using maximum reflection from

the 1.5mm diameter hole in the IIW block (or other block which result
in the samebasiccalibration sensitivity).
3.0 DistanceAmplitude Correction
The sensitivity level shall be adjusted to provide for attenuation loss

throughout the range of sound path to be used by DAC curve.

PROCEDURE
APPENDIX VIII
TRANSFER CORRECTION
There is a difference in instrument sensitivity between the referenceblock

and test component due to test surfaceroughness,contact area,component
temperature and acoustical attenuation characteristic. A correction in
instrument sensitivity is required to compensatefor thesedifferencesand is
describedbelow:

1 . 0 Use two angle beam probes of the same type. One acting
transmitter and the other as receiver.
2.0 Place the probes in-tandem on the referenceblock at one skip distance
and maximize the signal to70o/o.Note down the gain (dB).
3.0 Mark on the screenor on a graphicalpaper the peak of the maximized

signal.
4.0 Reposition the probes to achieve peak signal at two skip distance
repeatstep (3+) and join the two points to obtain line R.

5.0 On the surface of test component, carry-out step (2) and at the same dB
gain. Increase to decreasethe signal where the peak is on line R and
note down the gain (dB) difference.
6.0 The difference in dB gain of the instrument in step (2) and (5) is the
transfer correction and has to be added or subtracted during sizing of"
defects.
7.0 The first skip distancehas to be greater than four inches or otherwise
the successiveskip distancesshould be employed.
