2. Acceptance criteria can be very tricky. There is an ASME VIII Code case (2336 perhaps ??) that can give you guidance. There may be a very recent EN standard which will probably be superior as it is based on a lot of collaborative research.
3. If you are deploying inspectors, make sure that they know what they are doing with TOFD.

The skill operator’s exigency is grater for the TOFD than for RT operators.
When you request a TOFD service you should be aware of the skills and experience of the operator to have the right output from the test and interpretation of the results.
