Abstract

The criteria for evaluation of the admissibility of discontinuity flaws under the threads of studs during their inspection from the end face without unscrewing them from their seat in a hydraulic unit frame are experimentally substantiated. A transducer with the optimal parameters that allows one to reveal cracks of minimal depths is selected. Ultrasonic inspection of studs with a hexahedron at the end face is used as an example and the results of the ultrasonic testing of studs with detected cracks are presented.
