AWS D1.1 Shear Wave Inspections

You kids don't know how good you got it! When I was your age, we had to bring an abacus and mechanically calculate the attenuation factor on-site! None of this silly built-in software. Then we entered the data using punch cards into huge computers the size of a house! Now get off my lawn!

This is really helpful, don't do a lot of AWS specific inspection here in New Zealand so will remember this when it crops up again

Thanks Holloway, last Few week ago I have told my client about the AWS setting that there is no DAC, because AWS uses the Ref SDH 1.5 V1 block

Thanks Santiago, I need to learn more about it myself

Thanks I found this video very useful.
Please make a video about how to perform UT sensitivity calibration for root indication accordance to API RP 2X Level C acceptance criteria 😊🙏

I think there is an error in the drawing shown in the AWS D1.1 standard (Figure 8.13-Typical IIW Type Block). The depth for a 50 mm diameter hole is shown as 23 mm. The sound speed equivalent of 23 mm Plexiglas is 50 mm for steel. AWS D1.1 block prices are high due to the error.😆😆

This is very useful but i have a doubt How can you add scanning db ?
Its"This column refers to sound path distance; NOT material thickness....

[@hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201]

Yes, so just look at the range you are using for inspection

[@bhaskarbhas]

Please explain AWS CLASS X and CLASS R INDICATION level sizing

Hello, I think probe resolution verification is missed here..

For sure.. that's why it's a general overview. Can't teach all the nooks and crannys of AWS D1.1 in 5 minutes.

Can you talk about W59 reporting and surface cracks in HAZ zones? I had difficulties with how close some cracks are to the toe of the weld.
Thanks. (From W59 CGSB exam)

[@hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201]

In fact I might!

Some codes just seem to want to make your life hard on purpose :(
