Result Interpretation

ASME BPVC Section V Article 4 UT Phased Array Crack Depth and Surface Length Estimator calculator computes Estimated Crack Depth and Surface Length in m using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Estimated Crack Depth and Surface Length is expressed in m. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • TOFD Time Difference Between Upper and Lower Crack Tips = 1.2E-6
  • Lateral Offset Between Probe Centers = 0.05
  • Longitudinal Sound Velocity in Steel = 5920

Expected Result:

  • Estimated Crack Depth and Surface Length = 0.025357

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Estimated Crack Depth and Surface Length = 0.025357 m.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

estimated crack depth and surface length = sqrt(pow(tofd time difference between upper and lower crack tips * longitudinal sound velocity in steel / 2.0, 2.0) + pow(lateral offset between probe centers / 2.0, 2.0))
