An Introduction to Sonaspection
For twenty years I have been involved with the manufacture offlawed specimens and there is plenty for me to be proud about.My first class staff have spent many years developing and refiningthe art of flaw manufacture and implanting. Sonaspection havemanufactured thousands of flawed specimens for all the majorperformance demonstration, training and qualification centresaround the world.I truly believe that Sonaspection is the leading manufacturer offlawed specimens.

Introduction
If your company is involved with NDE training or certification, then it is importantthat you are aware of Sonaspection and their products.
What are Flawed Specimens
Sonaspection's flawed specimens contain purposely induced real flaws whichare accurately sized and located. Each specimen is supplied withdocumentation detailing flaw types, sizes and location.
NDE Training & Certification
NDE authorities around the world are striving to harmonise NDE training andcertification by introducing and working to the new ISO standards.There is now moreemphasis on the use of flawed specimens to give hands-on practical training and conductmore meaningful and representative certifications.
What are flawed specimens used for
As part of a quality training programme to make sure students are aware of flaws and howthey can be detected, identified and sized using NDE. Flawed specimens can also be usedto perform practical personnel qualification, procedure and equipment development.
Why Sonaspection
Sonaspection is the longest established manufacturer of flawed specimensstarting in 1980, and is the pioneer on many well recognised ‘industrystandard' flaw manufacture and implanting techniques. Sonaspection's flawmanufacturing procedures have, without doubt, been proven as the ‘industrystandard' for consistently able to meet the most exacting tolerances

Contents
Sonaspection have been involved with NDE training and qualification for many years and fromexperience we have developed this range of products which are suitable for all
major training and NDE certification programs.
Introduction to flaws - A set of miniature welds,macro sections and photo-radiographs to
demonstrate the principles of flaw detection,flaw interpretation and basic sizing.
For Level I training and qualification ie ASNT-TC-lA, PCN, EN473 and others
Introduction to basic flaw evaluation - A set ofsmall welds with simple weld geometry's todemonstrate basic flaw detection, sizing and
interpretation.
For Level I & II training and qualification ieASNT-TC-lA, PCN, EN473 and others
Advanced flaw evaluation - Realistic size weldsin most common geometry's available either
individually or in sets for advanced training/practice and qualification.
For Level II Training, practice and qualification ieACCP, ASNT-TC-lA, PCN, EN473, API and others
Full size mock-ups / component simulationscontaining accurately located and sized flaws, simple or complex
weld geometry's, exotic materials.
For specific NDE training, procedure development,personnel training and qualification, specialists trainingand performance demonstration, for example ASME XI
Appendix VII training and ASME XI Appendix VIII.

Are manufactured to the customer'srequirements and are ideal for companieswho do not need a full set but need atleast one example of each flaw type:
• Contain a minimum of four specimens• Contain an example of each flaw fromthe flaw table
• May be used for one or more NDT method
Are similar to individual specimens except that:
• Specimens are supplied in a sealed container• Flaw types and distribution are to a specified
standard• Reports are sealed and kept separate from the
specimens• Reports are sent under separate cover to

TYPES/RANGE
The range of flaws available depends on the type of testing being used. See appropriate Flaw Table for full details
FLAW SIZE RANGE
Flaw length from 1cm (3/8") to 4.5cm (3/4")
Flaw through wall height 0.3cm (1/8") to 0.6cm (1/4")
TOLERANCES
Flaw length ± 0.3cm (1/8")
Flaw height ±0.2cm (5/64")
Distance from datum ±0.3cm (1/8")
Depth from surface ±0.2cm (5/64")
MATERIAL TYPES
All standard-size specimens are manufactured from carbon steel. For plate, tee and Y specimens material is to BS 4360
Grade 43A or equivalent and for pipe specimens is to ASTM, ANSI, API or similar
(Nozzles and nodes are a combination of both)
All pipe sizes are measured outside diameter
INSPECTION
All materials are subject to 100% visual and Non Destructive Examination to ensure that they are free from flaws which may
interfere with product performance.
TOLERANCES
Weld length for plates, tees and Ys, all 30cm (12") ±5%.
Weld length for pipes, nozzles and nodes, all as per diameter
Thickness ±10%
Diameters ±10%
SURFACE FINISH
Parent material adjacent to weld will be a suitable finish for testing the weld profile, either ‘as-welded’ or ground flush
FINAL INSPECTION
All specimens are subject to in-house Visual and Non Destructive Examination. This work is carried out by experienced and
approved technicians
CORROSION PROTECTION
All specimens are coated with a clear corrosion-resistant material before leaving the factory
PACKING
All export orders are packed in wooden crates
Sonaspection reserves the right to alter specifications without notice
Sonaspection - setting new standards in flaw manufacture and implanting
Quality Flaws Assured
The high quality of our flaws is achieved by a combinationof first class workmanship a unique blend of welding andnon-destructive testing skills plus a full understanding ofthe product.
Sonaspection adopt a policy of setting new standards and developing new
techniques to improve quality and reliability inorder to assure the quality of our flaws.
