ASME B16.34- MANDATORY APPENDIX IV ARTICLE 23, SA-609/SA-609M (NOTE 3—The
areas for the ultrasonic quality levels in
Table 2 ofPractice A609/A 609M refer to the
surface area on the casting over which a
continuous indication exceeding the DAC is
maintained.)
NOTE 1—The areas in the table refer to the surface area on the casting
over which a continuous indication exceeding the amplitude reference line
or a continuous loss of back reflection of 75 % or greater is maintained.
NOTE 2— Areas shall be measured from the center of
the search unit.
NOTE 3—In certain castings, because of very long test
distances or
curvature of the test surface, the casting surface area
over which a given
discontinuity is detected may be considerably larger or
smaller than the
actual area of the discontinuity in the casting; in such
cases a graphic plot
that incorporates a consideration of beam spread should
be used for
realistic evaluation of the discontinuity

These Standards shall apply unless other standards are
specified for specific applications within this Division.
Imperfections which produce a response greater than
20% of the reference level shall be investigated to the
extent that the operator can determine the shape,
identity, and location
(a) Indications characterized as cracks, lack of fusion,
or incomplete penetration are unacceptable regardless
of length.
(b) Other imperfections are unacceptable if the indications
exceed the reference level amplitude and have
lengths which exceed:
(1) 1/4 in. (6 mm) for t up to 3/4 in. (19 mm);
(2) 1/3t for t from 3/4 in. to 21/4 in. (19 mm to 57 mm);
