Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic examination - Part 6: Time-of-flight diffraction technique as a method for detection and sizing of discontinuities ENV 583-6:2000

Publication date:   Feb 24, 2001

Scope

This European Prestandard defines the general principles for the application of the Time-Of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) techniques for both detection and sizing of discontinuities in low alloyed carbon steel components. It could also be used for other type of materials, provided the application of the TOFD-technique is performed with necessary consideration of geometry, acoustical properties of the materials and the sensitivity of the examination.
