Abstract
A non-destructive process of inspecting an object can include positioning a first and second ultrasonic element relative to the body of the object and offsetting the first and second ultrasonic elements in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the body. A further process of inspecting an object can include creating a map of the body of the object including at least one anomaly and providing a quality value associated with the body based on evaluation of one or more criteria selected from the group consisting of the type, number, size, shape, position, orientation, edge sharpness, and any combination thereof of the at least one anomaly. An ultrasonic system can include a first and second ultrasonic element and a processing element. The process element can be configured to create a map of the body including at least one anomaly and provide a quality value associated with the body based on evaluation of one or more criteria selected from the group consisting of the type, number, size, shape, position, orientation, edge sharpness, and any combination thereof of the at least one anomaly.
