7.5 Conclusion<br />

<strong>Visual</strong> testing is performed in accordance with applicable<br />

codes, standards, specifications and procedures. Chemical<br />

aids enhance the contrast of discontinuities making them<br />

easier to interpret and evaluate. This enhancement is<br />

attained by macroetching- a controlled chemical processing<br />

of the surface. Macroetching gives the optimum<br />

results on a properly cleaned and prepared surface. Chemicals<br />

for etching must be mixed, stored, handled and applied<br />

in strict accordance with safety regulations.''''<br />
