Step 1Specimen Measurement
Measure the part thickness. From this thickness you will need tocalculate the skip distance. The skip distance is the area where you
will scan the part with the proper angle transducer. Mark the end of
the skip distance from the edge of the heat affected zone (HAZ).
The area in red will be used to identify the heat affected zone.

Step 19Attenuation FactorSubtract one inch from the sound path distance and multiply theremainder by two. This number will be rounded to the nearestwhole number. If the number is less than 0.5 dB it will belowered to the nearest whole number. If the number is 0.5 orgreater, it will be increased to the nearest whole number.
In this example, the sound
path is 1.9
1.9 1 = 0.9
0.9 x 2 = 1.8
Rounded to the nearest
whole number - 2

Attenuation Factor
On Form D-11, fill out the attenuation factor. This islocated under Decibels- Attenuation Factor.
In this example, the sound
path is 1.0
1.01 = 0.0
0.0 x 2 = 0.0
If the attenuation factor is
less than 0.5, the
attenuation factor will be
zero.

Step 20Indication Rating
The indication rating is calculated by taking theIndication level minus Reference level minus
Attenuation factor. A-B-C=D
The answer D is
your indication rating
and can be positive or
negative. Write this
