Flaw Detection Comparison
Section titled “Flaw Detection Comparison”- After setting up the immersion environment and executing the defect measurements, the resulting margins of error for each device were confirmed as follows:
| Sample Defect Location | DEEPSOUND P5 | Range of Error | Third-Party Equipment | Range of Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25.00 mm (SA) | 25.60 mm (SA) | +0.60 mm | 24.62 mm (SA) | -0.38 mm |
- DEEPSOUND P5
- Third-Party Equipment
