Group Description
Welcome to [NDT Inspection Portal]’s phased array ultrasonics (PAUT) group, a place for professionals to connect and discuss the latest techniques and technologies in phased array ultrasonic inspection. PAUT is a non-destructive testing method that uses a phased array ultrasonic probe to inspect the condition of components such as pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels. The probe consists of a number of individual ultrasonic elements that can be activated independently, allowing the direction and focus of the ultrasonic waves to be controlled in real-time. Our member group offers a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices on PAUT and its applications in various industries. Join our community of experts from around the world and be a part of the conversation on advancing the practice of phased array ultrasonic inspection.

Hi,
I have found this:
you determine both your a/l and your a/t for a given thickness. This will likely require linear interpolation(s). You then compare your a/t% to your a/l for that thickness. If your a/t% falls below the allowable a/t% for that thickness, the flaw is allowable.
General formula for interpolation:

Hope it helps.
