5.1.4.4 Reference samples<br />

Reference samples should be as far as possible identical to the parts to be<br />

tested. They should be of the same material (or material of the same<br />

conductivity) and thickness as the parts to be tested, and, if a multilayered<br />

part is to be tested, each layer should have the same material (or<br />

conductivity), thickness, and separation as the test parts. In addition, they<br />

should have real or artificial flaws simulating the type sought and at the<br />

locations and orientations at which flaws are required to be detected.<br />

Corrosion may be simulated by drilling shallow poles, using either a standard<br />

or flat-bottom drill bit. Alternatively, milled slots may be used. Cracks may be<br />

simulated by spark-eroded slots, or by narrow saw cuts.<br />

5.1.4.5 Test procedure<br />

The test procedures are generally similar to those for detecting surface flaws.<br />
