The instrument, when required because of the technique being used, shall have both send and receive
jacks for operation of dual search unit or a single search unit with sending and receiving transducers.
The instrument may be analog or digital type. Computerized imaging techniques type also may be
used to perform the basic scanning functions required for flaw detection.
5.2. Search Units
5.2.1 The nominal frequency shall be from 1 MHz to SMHz depends on the material grain structure,
penetration and resolution requires the use of proper selection of frequency. Search unit with
contoured contact wedge or curve shoe may be used to aid the coupling with the part surface.
5.2.2 Frequency and size of the search unit shall be chosen according to the path of travel. Smaller
size 10mm diameter straight beam search unit for beam path 100mm and &x9mm angle beam search
Unit for 200mm shall be used. High frequency 2 to 4 MHz shall be suitable for shorter beam path and
for longer beam path, larger size and high frequency search unit shall be used for better penetration
5.2.3 Fordetection of discontinuities, which are parallel to the part surface shall be best detected by
longitudinal wave and inclined discontinuities, which are parallel to the part surface shall be best
detected by longitudinal wave and inclined discontinuities can be detected by using transverse wave.
Propagation of transverse wave shall be selected in such a way that the fusion zone should be nearly
perpendicular to the propagated angle beam. Selection of angle beam search unit shall follow the
thumb rule 90-bevel angle and 90-thickness or as per the recommendation in specified
5.3 Couplant
A suitable couplant, such as SAE 30 MOTOR oil or similar commercial ultrasonic couplant, shall be
used to couple the search unit to the test surface. Other couplant may also be used but should not be
detrimental to the material being examined.

6.0 Procedure
6.1 Techniques
6.1.1 Techniques are intended for application either single or dual element search unit dependant on
the thickness of the material to be examined. Normal incident longitudinal wave beam generally
termed as straight beam shall be used for examination for thickness measurement, clad examination
or lamination examination.
6.1.2 Angle beam shear wave, where the incident angle in the wedges produced only refracted shear
waves in material under examination are termed as angle beam examination. Weld examination
generally used contact angle beam shear wave scanning,
6.2 Scanning
7 6.2.1 Scanning of weld joints shall be manual contact testing using shear wave angle beam. Scanning
shall cover full volume of the weld and shall be from both side of the weld perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis of weld for detection discontinuities parallel to the weld axis and scan at 10°-15° to
the weld axis from both side of the weld to the discontinuities transverse to the weld axis.
6.2.2 At least 10% overlap shall be maintained between the scan for full coverage
6.2.3 Scanning speed shall not exceed 150mm/sec.
7.0 Calibration
7.1 Sweep Range calibration
For sweep range calibration, any of the lIW basic calibration-block either V1 or V2 block shall be used
shear wave angle beam and straight beam calibration. 1

8.0 Examination
, 8.1 Reflector parallel to the weld seam :
The angle beam shall be directed at approximate right angle to the weld axis from both sides of the
. weld on the same surface. The search unit shall be manipulated so that the ultrasonic energy passes
through the required volume of weld and the adjacent base material
“ 8.2 Reflector transverse to the weld seam
The angle beam shall be directed parallel to the weld axis on the weld if the weld surface is smooth or
flash, otherwise at 10°-15° to the weld axis from both sides. The search unit’shall be manipulated so
that the ultrasonic energy passes through the weld and the adjacent base materials.
. 8.3 Restricted access welds
The weld that cannot be fully examined from two directions using the angle beam technique shall also
’ be examined, if possible, by straight beam technique. This restricted access shall be noted in the
report.
; 8.5 Inaccessibility welds
The welds that cannot be examined from at least one side using angle beam technique shall be noted
in the examination report.
9.0 Evaluation
9.1 Sizing of indications
The size of indication shall be established by comparing the amplitude from the discontinuity with
» respect to the reference level of DAC and examination of indications shall be evaluated in terms of
nat acceptance criteria of the standard. Any indication greater than 20% of the reference level shall be
evaluated by moving the search unit to the level of 50% (6 dB drop) of the highest level of reference
level, which shall be considered as extension of
