Ultrasonic testing of Welds (coverage)

Three positions of the contact type of transducer along the zigzag scanning path used during the manual angle-beam ultrasonic inspection of welded joints. The movement of the sound beam path across the weld is shown on a section taken along the centerline of the transducer as it is moved from
a) the far left position in the scanning path

b) through an intermediate position

c) to the far right position

Ultrasonic testing of Welds (interpretation)

Angle-beam inspection of a weldment showing effect of search-unit movements on oscilloscope screen display patterns from three different types of flaws in welds. a) Positions of search units on the test piece. b) Display pattern obtained from a gas hole as the result of traversing the search unit in an arc about the location of the flaw. c) Display pattern obtained from a slag inclusion as the result of swiveling the search unit on a fixed point. d) Display pattern obtained from a crack, using the same swiveling search-unit movement as in
