Purpose: This specification covers procedures for ultrasonic inspection of flat@ rectangular@ round@ cylindrical@ and contoured products having a thickness or cross-sectional dimension greater than 0.5 in. (12.5 mm) by pulse-echo procedure@ using either contact or immersion methods@ and using the longitudinal-wave or shear-wave modes or combinations of the two@ as necessary. This specification may apply to testing finished machined parts provided the parts can meet the basic testability requirements@ such as size@ contour@ metallurgical structure@ and thickness. Parts with sections both greater than O. 5 in. (12. 5 mm) thick and sections less than O. 5 in. (12.5 mm) thick may be tested using this procedure and AMS 2632 as applicable. Application: Primarily for locating and defining internal defects such as cracks@ voids@ laminations@ and other structural discontinuities which mayor may not be exposed to the surface.
