These methods are specifically intended for manual test equipment i.e. ultrasonic instrumentsaccording to ISo 22232-1 and for manual ultrasonic non-destructive testing with single- or dual-instruments. For automated test equipment different tests can be needed to ensure satisfactoryperformance.
The specified methods are intended for the use by operators working under site or shop floor conditions.
These methods are not intended to prove the suitability of the equipment for particular applications.
This document excludes ultrasonic instruments for continuous waves.
This document also excludes ultrasonic phased array systems see e. g. ISO 18563-3. If a phased arrayto this bination. instrument is used in bination with single- or dual-transducer probes this document is applicable
