Immersion Methods- Since sound waves travel about four times faster in<br />

steel and aluminum than they do in water, a general rule of thumb is that the<br />

water distance should be 1/4 T s the part thickness plus 1/4 in (6mm). When<br />

immersion testing is used <strong>for</strong> tapered plates, there should be a uni<strong>for</strong>m water<br />

path above the test surface. With immersion testing, false indications from<br />

contoured surfaces will result in broad-based noise echoes.<br />
