The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Atomic Energy Commission have established a Technology Utilization Program for the rapid dissemination of information on technological developments which have potential utility outside the aerospace and nuclear communities. By encouraging multiple application of the results of their research and development, NASA and AEC earn for the public an increased return on the investment in aerospace and nuclear research and development programs. The items in this compilation describe a variety of devices and techniques useful in nondestructive testing. Ranging in complexity from an automated ultrasonic testing system designed for inspecting complex laminated honeycomb structures, to a flexible leak detector probe, the items represent either potential savings in cost and time, or improvement in inspection quality over past techniques. The items are presented in three sections, dealing with weld and braze inspection, leak detection, and inspection of composite materials. A preceding volume in this series, NASA SP-5952(01), dealt with physical inspection and with the detection of internal flaws.
