6.0 PROCEDURE
6.1 General Testing Requirements
6.1.1. Testing technique the techniques in this are contact techniques with straight
beam and angle beam.
6.1.2. Testing Coverage.
The volume to be scanned shall be examined by moving the search unit over
the scanning surface so as to scan the entire testing volume for each required
search unit. Each pass of the search unit shall overlap a minimum of 10% of
the active transducer (piezoelectric element) dimension perpendicular to the
direction of the scan.
6.1.3. Pulse Repetition Rate.
The pulse repetition rate shall be small enough to assure that a signal from a
reflector located at the maximum distance in the testing volume will arrive
back at the search unit before the next pulse is placed on the transducer.
6.1.4. Rate of Search Unit Movement.
The rate of search unit movement (scanning speed) shall not exceed 150 mm,
unless:
(a) The ultrasonic instrument pulse repetition rate is sufficient to pulse the
search unit at least six times within the time necessary to move one‐half
the transducer (piezoelectric element) dimension parallel to the direction
of the scan at maximum scanning speed; or,
(b) A dynamic calibration is performed on multiple reflectors, which are
within ±2 dB of a static calibration and the pulse repetition rate meets
the requirements of 6.1.3.
6.1.5. Scanning Sensitivity Level
6.1.5.1 Distance Amplitude Techniques.
The scanning sensitivity level shall be set a minimum of 6 dB higher
than the reference level gain setting.
6.1.6. Surface Preparation.
When the base material or weld surface interferes with the testing, the base
material or weld shall be prepared as needed to permit the testing.
6.2 Weld Joint Distance Amplitude Technique
When the referencing Code Section specifies a distance amplitude technique, weld
joints shall be scanned with an angle beam search unit in both parallel and transverse
directions (4 scans) to the weld axis. Before performing the angle beam testing, a
straight beam testing shall be performed on the volume of base material through
which the angle beams will travel to locate any reflectors that can limit the ability of
the angle beam to examine the weld volume.

7.0 EVALUATION
7.1 General
It is recognized that not all ultrasonic reflectors indicate flaws, since certain
metallurgical discontinuities and geometric conditions may produce indications that
are not relevant. Included in this category are plate segregates in the heat‐affected
zone that become reflective after fabrication. Under straight beam testing, these may
appear as spot or line indications. Under angle beam testing, indications that are
determined to originate from surface conditions (such as weld root geometry) or
variations in metallurgical structure in austenitic materials (such as the automatic‐to‐
manual weld clad interface) may be classified as geometric indications. The identity,
maximum amplitude, location, and extent of reflector causing a geometric indication
shall be recorded. [For example: internal attachment, 200% DAC, 1 in. (25 mm) above
weld center line, on the inside surface, from 90 deg to 95 deg.] The following steps
shall be taken to classify an indication as geometric:
(a) Interpret the area containing the reflector in accordance with the applicable
testing procedure.
(b) Plot and verify the reflector coordinates. Prepare a cross‐sectional sketch showing
the reflector position and surface discontinuities such as root and counter bore.
(c) Review fabrication or weld preparation drawings. Other ultrasonic techniques or
nondestructive testing methods may be helpful in determining a reflector’s true
position, size, and orientation.
7.2 Evaluation Level
7.2.1. Distance Amplitude Techniques.
All indications greater than 20% of the reference level shall be investigated to
the extent that they can be evaluated in terms of the acceptance criteria of the
applicable codes.
7.2.2. Evaluation of Laminar Reflectors
Reflectors evaluated as laminar reflectors in base material which interfere with
the scanning of testing volumes shall require the angle beam testing technique
to be modified such that the maximum feasible volume is examined, and shall
be noted in the record of the testing.
7.2.3. Alternative Evaluations
Reflector dimensions exceeding the applicable codes requirements may be
evaluated to any alternative standards provided by the applicable codes.
