Application Summary AI generated

This standard specifies the application of the time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) ultrasonic technique for detecting and sizing internal discontinuities in welds and components. It is primarily used in industrial sectors such as pressure vessel manufacturing, pipeline construction, and structural steel fabrication, where accurate sizing of flaws like cracks or lack of fusion is critical for integrity assessment. The method is applied during in-service inspection or production testing to provide quantitative depth measurements of discontinuities, supporting fitness-for-service evaluations.
