unit as it is moved along the circumference of the
component.
(a) Search units shall be contoured as required by the
following equation:

A= length of search unit footprint during circumferen-
tial scanning or the width when scanning in the ax
ial direction, in. (mm)

‘The footprint is defined as the physical dimension of the
search unit in the curved direction of the component.
(b) The search unit contoured dimension shall be se-
lected from the tables in (1) and (2) below, and shall be
determined using the same component dimension from
