To determine the proper scanning area for the weld, the inspector must first<br />

calculate the location of the sound beam in the test material. Using the<br />

refracted angle, beam index point and material thickness, the V-path and skip<br />

distance of the sound beam is found. Once they have been calculated, the<br />

inspector can identify the transducer locations on the surface of the material<br />

corresponding to the crown, sidewall, and root of the weld.
