Depth of
Notch, h

Depth of notch, h, shall be 12%5 of the nominal wall thickness of the pipe
being inspected, but not less than o.3 mm

For ultrasonic and eddy current the length of notch at full depth, L, shall be at
least twice the width of the scanning head.

For diverted flux the length of notch shall be as required by the equipment
design to provide a reproducible signal when the reference slandered is
passed through the equipment at the inspection line speed for the pipe being
inspected. Three passes through the equipment shall be required to ensure
reproductiblity.
