Describes the non-destructive testing of fusion and resistance welds in aerospace materials having a thickness of 2.5 mm and less. Applies to the inspection of materials and components both during manufacturing and in service. Covers visual, penetrant, magnetic particle, radiographic and ultrasonic inspection appropriate to the type of defect being sought, together with any limitations in the use of particular techniques.
