Abstract
The sensitivity of a proposed method based on the use of transverse waves and intended for detecting microflaws in a metal is assessed. The influence of the shape of the tested object and deviation of its thickness from a nominal value on the measurement error is studied. Recommendations for selecting optimal parameters of receiving angle probes, at which the effect of these factors would be minimized, are given.
