Abstract

A test for the validation of ultrasonic inspection techniques was proposed that excludes the human factor, which is generally present when detecting artificial discontinuity flaws in an object under inspection by an inspector. The results of the proposed test are a criterion for the estimation of inspection techniques. The test is based on the data that are presented in the literature and research results obtained at the TsNIITMASH. It enables a formalized estimation of the reliability of techniques with numerically expressed type 1 and type 2 errors.
