The angled sound beam is highly sensitive to cracks perpendicular to the far<br />

surface of the test piece (first leg test) or, after bouncing off the far side, to<br />

cracks perpendicular to the coupling surface (second leg test). A variety of<br />

specific beam angles and probe positions are used to accommodate different<br />

part geometries and flaw types. In the case of angled discontinuities, a<br />

properly selected angle beam assembly can direct sound at a favorable angle<br />

<strong>for</strong> reflection back to the transducer.
