Although it is usually evident by its angle that it is an edge signal, a crack<br />

signal which may be present simultaneously may not be detected. This is<br />

particularly a problem when scanning between two holes or a hole and an<br />

edge. Small variations in the distance of the probe from the edge produce a<br />

large change in the edge signal, producing a noisy signal, and the possibility<br />

of a flaw signal not being observed. Whenever possible the use of a non<br />

metallic probe guide should be used to reduce the edge signals while not<br />

affecting the crack signal.<br />

reduce the edge signals while not affecting the crack signal. (?)<br />
