 POINTS TO REMEMBER

 Use Linear Scan to target for Weld Bevel for discontinuity e.g. la
ck of fusion. Try to keep beam angle at 90 deg. With bevel angl
e. Try to cover the root area with linear beam angle.
 Always see that the each portion of weld is sonified/covered with
at least two beam angle.
 Select beam angle which is near to perpendicular to weld bevel
angle.
 Use reflect of weld to check whether the reflected sound is reach
ing to your probe active element.

 POINTS TO REMEMBER

 You can select beam angle ±15° to the wedge angle.

 Incase of sector scan beam deviation should be arou
nd 1° (verify with the code). Using low beam deviation
means less scan speed and high memory storage
 Incase of linear scan use maximum beam possible
