Consider including table as appendix for applications with multiple techniques.
Provide quantitative detection and sizing capabilities if available (and if industry validated)
John Reynolds suggested that we don’t be limited to 1-2 pages, especially for commonly used techniques.
Group agreed that level of information should be consistent and master editor and make it uniform, and target 2-4
pages.
SME and master editor may provide relevant references.
Form letter should note that no copyrighted material should be provided
Fundamental physics of NDE method will be included in an appendix (if at all).
Structure: equipment versus damage type: After a great deal of discussion, general consensus was to start with
equipment category (and component type) and consider by damage mechanism where it makes sense.
