Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultrasonic time of flight diffraction technique (TOFD) is a routine method for defect detection and sizing performance in engineering structures. The first book by the authors, published in 1989, aimed to give the non-destructive testing engineer comprehensive information on the theoretical background, practicl implementation and performance of the technique. The method is now widely used and is a European as well as a British Standard. This second edition includes new material on the theoretical basis, experimental demonstration of capability and engineering applications of TOFD. The book also includes a chapter on standards, citing work on British and European standards.
