← ScienceWhich risk increases during pipeline weld inspection using phased array ultrasonic testing?
A)Spurious indications obscure real defects✓
B)Insufficient acoustic coupling worsens resolution
C)Refraction creates erroneous beam steering
D)Attenuation causes signal-to-noise degradation
💡 Explanation
Spurious indications increase, because **constructive interference** sums small reflections from grain boundaries, therefore, mimicking flaws as larger defects rather than revealing the true discontinuity, because other options affect signal strength.
