ASTM Ultrasonic Standards

PREFACE Ultrasonic flaw detection is a method of nondestructive testing that is finding increasing acceptance in the United States. This growth in the application of ultrasonics is intimately tied to the field of fracture mechanics and the scientifically based approaches to designing...

The scope of this SAE Information report is to provide basic information on ultrasonics, as applied in the field of nondestructive inspection. References to detailed information are listed in Section 2 .

This practice establishes the requirements for developing ultrasonic examination procedures using the ultrasonic technique known as Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD). Consistent with ASTM Policy, TOFD may be regarded as an ultrasonic test method whereby the qualities and...

This standard describes procedures to measure the thickness of dry, homogeneous coatings applied on a variety of surfaces such as concrete, wood, wallboard, plastic, fiber and composite material using commercially available ultrasonic coating thickness gages. These procedures are intended to...

This practice establishes the requirements for developing ultrasonic examination procedures using the ultrasonic technique known as Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD). Consistent with ASTM Policy, TOFD may be regarded as an ultrasonic test method whereby the qualities and...

Ultrasonic welding (USW) is a solid-state welding process that produces a weld by the local application of high-frequency vibratory energy as the workpieces are held together under pressure.1, 2 The vibratory energy creates a relative transverse motion between the two surfaces, disperses...

1.1 This practice establishes the requirements for developing ultrasonic examination procedures using the ultrasonic technique known as Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD). 1.2 Consistent with ASTM Policy, TOFD may be regarded as an ultrasonic test method whereby the...

Use/Relationship: The Ultrasonic Test (UT) Report will document the results of Ultrasonic Testing. It will provide the Government with evidence of structural damage and deterioration. This DID contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by...

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for ultrasonic inspections of weldments; including qualifications and procedures.
