Synopsis

This book presents a precise approach for defect sizing using ultrasonics. It describes an alternative to the current European and American standards by neglecting their limitations. The approach presented here is not only valid for conventional angle beam probes, but also for phased array angle beam probes. It introduces an improved method which provides a significant productivity gain and calculates curves with high accuracy. Its content is of interest to all those working with distance gain size (DGS) methods or are using distance amplitude correction (DAC) curves.

About the Author

Wolf Kleinert started his career in ultrasonic material testing  in the year 1982 at the Krautkrämer Company in Cologne, Germany. He had a plurality of managerial assignments in Product-, Marketing- and Sales-Management, Intellectual Property Management as well as General Management. He was responsible for the Application Laboratory and heavily involved in the development of new probe technologies. End of 2014 Wolf retired after nearly 33 years in ultrasonic material testing.
