This specification covers procedures for ultrasonic inspection, by pulse-echo procedures, of flat, rectangular, round, cylindrical, and contoured products having a thickness or cross-sectional dimension greater than 0.50 inch (12.7 mm), using either contact or immersion methods, and using the longitudinal-wave or shear-wave modes or combinations of the two, as necessary. This specification may apply to testing finished machined parts provided the parts can meet the basic testability requirements, such as size, contour, metallurgical structure, and thickness.

This specification has been declared 'SUPERSEDED' by the Aerospace Materials Division, SAE, as of February 1995. The requirements of this specification are embodied in the latest issue of ASTM E 1417.

This specification has been declared "NONCURRENT" by the Aerospace Materials Division, SAE, as of 1-1-84. It is recommended that this specification not be specified for new designs. This cover sheet should be attached to the initial issue of the sUbject specification. Noncurrent refers to those procedures which have previously been widely used and which may be required on some existing designs in the future. The Aerospace Materials Division does not recommend these as standard procedures for future use in new designs. Each of these "Noncurrent" specifications is available from SAE upon request. This specification has been CANCELLED by the Aerospace Materials Division, SAE, as of August, 1989. By this action, subject specification number and its title will be deleted from the active specification index of Aerospace Material Specifications.
