This invention defines a combined inspection procedure using ultrasonic techniques for detection of hydrogen attack damage in material. The procedure comprises an initial scanning procedure for locating areas suspected of being damaged by hot hydrogen. The initial scanning procedure is a pattern-based backscattering test that provides a pattern which is classified as falling within at least one of four backscattering pattern category types. Follow-up test procedures based upon the pattern type are then performed. These tests include spectrum analysis, velocity ratio, spatial averaging backscattering, and frequency dependence for assessing whether the material has hydrogen attack damage and the extent of hydrogen damage in the suspect areas. Should hydrogen attack damage be identified, the velocity ratio and spectrum analysis tests can then be used to determine mechanical properties of the hydrogen attack damaged material.
