Selecting Effective Inspection and Assessment Methods and Technologies
These table present common detectable defects with corresponding inspection technologies. Selection of the most suitable technology is based on a simple “H”, “M”, “L” scheme for a given component condition: L indicates not effective; H indicates the most effective option; and M indicates a possibility of a false positive or false negative result.
