Effectiveness of nondestructive examination systems and performance demonstration. PVP-Volume 317, NDE-Volume 14

The primary objective of the NDE Division is to provide a forum for the dissemination of information and the advancement of the effectiveness of NDE procedures and techniques for the inspection of pressure vessel and piping components. This is achieved largely through presentations and discussions at the annual PVP Conference, as well as through encouragement and sponsorship for publication of the technical literature. This conference is divided into the following sections: effectiveness of NDE procedures and performance demonstration; effectiveness of inspection procedures for cast and wrought austenitic welds; and effectiveness of inspection procedures and performance demonstration for wrought austenitic welds and ferritic pipe. Separate abstracts were prepared for 12 papers in this book.
