One aspect of a process of inspecting a joint (110) that connects two parts (104a, 104b) includes directing an ultrasonic beam (114) from an ultrasonic beam transmitter (106) at a joint (110) that connects two parts (104a, 104b), the ultrasonic beam (114) forming an angle between at least 14 degrees and at most 21 degrees with a joint axis of the joint (110), wherein the ultrasonic beam (114) passes through a joint thickness of the joint (110). The process also includes determining a quality of the joint (110) based, in part, on a difference between a strength of the ultrasonic beam (114) directed at the joint and a strength of a portion of the ultrasonic beam (116) that passed through the joint thickness. |
