Weld Evaluation
6.4.1. The beam shall be directed at approximately right angles
to the weld axis from two directions where possible. The
probe shall be manipulated so that the beam passed
through the required volumes of weld and adjacent base
metal.
6.4.2 Sensitivity shall be increased from the reference level for
weld scanning in accordance with AWS DL.1 : 2006,
Table 6.2 or 6.3, as applicable.
6.4.3 The testing angle and scanning procedure shall be in
accordance with those shown in AWS D1.L : 2006, Table
6. 7
6.4.4 The probe movement for the examination shall not
exceed L50mm per second.
6.4.5 For transverse discontinuities, the beam shall be directed
approximately L5" to the weld axis.
6.4.6 Straight Beam Scanning
-
Straight beam scanning of the
adjacent base metal shall be performed to detect
reflectors that might affect interpretation of angle beam
result, and is not to be used as an acceptance rejection
examination. Location and area of such reflectors shall be
recorded
6.4.7 Angle Beam Scanning
-
Angle beam scanning shall be
directed at approximate right angle to the weld axis from
two directions where possible. The search unit shall be
manipulated so that the ultrasonic energy passed
through the entire volumes of weld and adjacent base
metal. Scanning shall be performed at a gain setting at
least two times the primary reference level. Evaluation
shall be performed with respect to the primary reference
level. Selection of probe angle would be governed by
thickness of weld and angle of weld preparation.

6.4.8 Butt
Joints
All butt
joint welds shall be tested from each side of the
weld axis. Corner and T-joint welds shall be primarily
tested from one side of the weld axis only. All welds
shall be tested using the applicable scanning pattern or
patterns shown in AWS D1.1 : 2006, Figure 6.24 as
necessary to detect both longitudinal and transverse
flaws. It is intended that, as a minimum, all welds be
tested by passing sound through the entire volume of the
weld and the heat-affected zone in two crossing
directions, wherever applicable.
6.4.9 For partial weld penetration, testing and evaluation shall
be made up to the weld size as per specified in the
drawing.
6.4.10 Maximum Indication
When a discontinuity indication aPPears on the screen/
the maximum attainable indication from the
discontinuity shall be adjusted to produce a horizontal
reference level trace deflection on the display. This
adjustment shall be made with the calibrated gain control
(attenuator), and the instrument reading in decibels shall
be used as the "Indication Level, a" for calculating the
"Indication Rating, d". Horizontal reference level is 80%
of full screen height.
6.4.11, Attenuation Factor
The "Attenuation Factor, c" shall be attained by
subtracting 1 in (25mm) from the sound-path distance
and multiplying the remainder by 2. This factor shall be
rounded out on the nearest dB value. Fractional values
less than
1/z
dB shall be reduced to the lower dB level
and those of
1/z
dB or greater increased to the higher
level.

12 Indication Rating
The "Indication Rating, d", represents the algebraic
difference in decibels between the indication level and
the reference level with the correction for attenuation as
indicated in the following expressions:
Instruments with gain in dB:
a- b- c=d
Instrument with attenuation dB:
b- a- c=d
Discontinuity Size Evaluation
6.5.1, Length
The length of indication shall be determined by
measuring the distance between the probe centerline
locations where the indication rating amplitude drops
50To (6 dB) below the rating for the applicable
classification. This length shall be recorded under
"discontinuity
length" on the test report.
6.5.2 Height
The discontinuity height (depth dimension) should be
determined using the following methods:
(ii)
The indication height should be maximized by
moving the search unit to and from the
discontinuity in accordance with A of figureK-12.
The indication height should be adjusted to a
known value (e.g.,80% of full screen height FSH).
The search unit should move towards the
discontinuity until the indication height begins to
drop rapidly and continuously towards the base
Iine. The location of the leading (left) edge of the
indication at location B in FigureS.l2 in relation to
the display horizontal base line scale should be

SHEAR WAVES (ANGLE) PROBE
Either VL or V2 blocks can be used for calibration.
3.1 Use IIWVl Block
Place angle probe on the block directing at L00mm quadrant.
Set up multiple signals at 100mm intervals be reflections
between the quadrant and the notches of the face of the block.
Maximized the chosen signal. Then, adjust the time-base control
so that the first of the multiple signals (not the initial pulse)
coincides with the zero gratrcule mark, and a subsequent signal
coincides with an appropriate graticule mark at the right hand
end of the screen, example if the signal at L0mm, 20mm,
300mm, etc, the first signal would be set at zero mark or third to
the
"'J.0"
mark if calibration is required over a total range of
200mm. When the correct spacing of signals has been
established, adjust the delay only so that the first of multiple
signals are placed at the graticule mark which is to correspond
to its true range.

Place angle probe on the block directing at
25mm or 50mm quadrant. Set up repeated signals at 25mm,
100mm, 175mm, etc, when probe is directed on the 25mm
quadrant and 50mm, 125mm, 200mm, etc., when probe is
directed on the 50mm quadrant. Maximized the signals from
the 25mm quadrant or from the 50mm quadrant. Adjust the
time-base control so that:
(i) 25mm quadrant

the signal coincides with the 25mm
graticule mark and the second signal 100mm coincides
with 100mm graticule mark.
(ii) 50mm quadrant

the 50mm signal coincides with the
50mm graticule mark and the second signal 125mm
coincides with 125mm graticule mark
If a point of a sweep range calibration has moved on the timeless
by more than 10% of its original time base position, the
calibration shall be corrected with a note of the correction being
made on the report. If any signals have been recorded, all
recorded indications shall be re'examined with the corrected
calibration and their values corrected accordingly on the report.
3.3
TOLERANCE
Accurate calibration of the sweep range to
maximum range displayed is required.
FREQUENCY OF CALIBRATION
This calibration shall be verified when:-

2.0 Basic Sensitivity
Reference level screen height obtained using maximum reflection from

APPENDIX VIII
TRANSFER CORRECTION
There is a difference in instrument sensitivity between the reference block
and test component due to test surface roughness, contact area, component
temperature and acoustical attenuation characteristic. A correction in
instrument sensitivity is required to compensate for these differences and is
described below:
RECEIVER
(TRANSMITTER) (posi ti on I
)
Fi xed
Screen display
75%
s0%
2s%
2 SKIP
Use two angle beam probes of the same type. One acting
transmitter and the other as receiver.
Place the probes in-tandem on the reference block at one skip distance
and maximize the signal to70o/o. Note down the gain (dB).
Mark on the screen or on a graphical paper the peak of the maximized
signal.
Reposition the probes to achieve peak signal at two skip distance
repeat step (3+) and join the two points to obtain line R.

5.0 On the surface of test component, carry-out step (2) and at the same dB
gain. Increase to decrease the signal where the peak is on line R and
note down the gain (dB) difference.
The difference in dB gain of the instrument in step (2) and (5) is the
transfer correction and has to be added or subtracted during sizing of"
defects.
The first skip distance has to be greater than four inches or otherwise
the successive skip distances should be employed.
