Reliability of defect detection in welded structures
Description
An analysis has been made of the ability of several nondestructive inspection procedures to reliably detect surface fatigue cracks. It is shown that the ability of penetrant systems of aluminum and titanium are over 90 percent for cracks whose surface length is greater than 0.939 mm (0.037 inches) in length and decreases for cracks less than this value. The probability of detection of these cracks, given that the crack is present has been determined at 90, 95, and 99 percent confidence factors. The conditional probabilities associated with an error call have also been developed. (U.S.)
