These stipulations are intended to enable ultrasonic testing of claddings produced on steel by welding, rolling and explosion to be carried out manually. The stipulations cover the testing technique, preparation and procedure of the test and also the reporting. The test is mainly intended to cover the test of two-dimensional or three-dimensional discontinuities in the region of the claddings, but not for testing partly permeable fusion surfaces. This standard does not cover the extent of testing or criteria for assessing tested claddings; these require special agreement.
