Basic Weld Flaw Evaluation

A set of small, lightweight, and convenient to handle weld specimens, each containing either one or two flaws, with a minimum of 18 flaws per set.

Our basic weld flaw evaluation specimens are designed for practical training to provide an introduction to flaw detection, sizing and interpretation. Each set is presented in a durable polypropylene carry case with high-density foam inserts to ensure total protection of the specimens.

Our sets are recommended for:

  • Introduction to basic flaw detection
  • Introduction to basic flaw sizing
  • Introduction to basic flaw interpretatio
  • Simple weld geometries

We have a choice of three materials for our sets:

  • Carbon steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminium

Our sets are suitable for the following methods:

  • Ultrasonic testing
  • Visual testing
  • Magnetic particle testing
  • Penetrant testing
  • Radiographic testing

Each set contains:

  • 10 small flawed specimens
  • An average of 18 real flaws
  • Flaw location details
  • Testing and acceptance criteria
  • Certificate of conformance

We have nine different sets to suit your needs, including:

1 tee, 7 plate and 2 pipe specimens containing commonly occurring surface-breaking and weld-body flaws.

  • Carbon steel – 35 kg/77 lbs
  • Stainless steel – 35 kg/77 lbs

  • Carbon steel – 32 kg/71 lbs

1 tee, 7 plate and 2 pipe specimens carefully selected from the visual, magnetic, penetrant, ultrasonic and radiographic sets to provide an overview of flaw types and their detection using various non-destructive testing techniques.

  • Carbon steel – 35 kg/77 lbs

We can manufacture a range of commonly occurring flaws specific to each set within the miniature specimens. Examples include:
