Comparison of ultrasonics and radiography for weld inspection
Description
This paper describes a program undertaken to determine if structural welds may be ultrasonically inspected with repeatability and reliability comparable to that currently obtained with radiographic inspection. Results are given of acceptance criteria determination and round robin radiographic and manual and computer assisted ultrasonic inspection evaluations. It was determined that ultrasonics has a higher probability than radiography of detecting and consistently rejecting planar discontinuities and that the two methods have comparable capacities for detecting and rejecting volumetric discontinuities
