• T

OF D = T ime of F light Diffr ac tion

• Was or

iginally de signe d for ac c ur ate sizing of flaws in nuc le ar industr y

• Was found that the te c hnique is also e ffe c tive for

de te c tion of flaws in we lds

• Use s the diffr

ac te d sound whic h initiate s at flaw tips whe n a flaw is “hit” by a wide UT be am

• F

laws c an be de te c te d r e gar dle ss of the or ie ntation of the flaw

• Use s longitudinal sound
