Abstract

The time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) technique is one of the most common sizing methods in practical use by industry today. This method was developed over 40 years ago and is based on the technology and state of knowledge present at that time. A combination of phased arrays and equivalent flaw sizing methods are proposed as the foundation for a new generation of sizing methods that go beyond TOFD sizing.
