This report describes the work performed on the project
"Replacement of Radiography by Ultrasonic
Inspection" funded by the HSE. This thirteen months project
started in April 2003. The objective was to provide guidelines on
the extent to which ultrasonic testing can replace radiography for
welds where radiography is currently the preferred inspection
method. This report and the work it describes were funded by the
Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any
opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the authors
