SAE AMS-STD-2154A:2012-10-10

The purpose of this military standard is to provide uniform methods for the ultrasonic inspection of wrought metals and wrought metal products.

Rationale:
AMS-STD-2154A revises personnel qualification (4.2), adds requirements to the list of written procedures (4.3), revises reference standards (5.1.2, 5.3.1.2) adds surface texture requirements (5.4.6, 5.4.7), permits adjustment of sensitivity if the required sensitivity standard hole is not available (5.4.8), adds direction on setting the primary reference response (5.4.9.1), and establishing electronic distance/amplitude correction and time-corrected gain (5.4.10, 5.4.10.1), revises electronic equipment requirements (Table 2), and revises ultrasonic class requirements (Table 6), and updates referenced standards.
