SENTINEL ARC ULTRASONIC SCAN PLANNER
Status: Stable Release (V1.3.1)

ANGLE-BEAM INSPECTION PLANNING

Ultrasonic Scan Planner

Visualize beam travel. Verify skip geometry. Plan coverage with confidence.

Model nominal shear-wave travel, half-skip reflection, full-skip return, and a user-defined beam-spread envelope.

Ultrasonic beam scan plan Cross-sectional plate drawing showing a probe, weld, first leg, half-skip reflection, second leg, and full-skip return.

Note: Diagram automatically scales to fit the available display. All displayed dimensions remain based on the entered values.

CALCULATED GEOMETRY

Half-skip surface distance

—Probe index to back-wall reflection

Full-skip surface distance

—Probe index to top-surface return

Half-skip sound path

—One material-thickness leg

Full-skip sound path

—Two material-thickness legs

Reflection relative to weld center

—Positive is right of centerline

Nominal weld intersection

—Based on centerline ray

Planning aid only. Joint profiles are schematic planning representations and do not replace the dimensional requirements of MIL-STD-22D or the fabrication drawing. The nominal ray and user-entered spread do not replace verification using the governing procedure, applicable code, calibrated probe characteristics, transfer correction, scan index requirements, or required coverage demonstration.
