Hi @@bisaljana1351 -- Angle beam is not the proper way to look for disbonding. It is good for finding defects that are not parallel to the major surface like cracks or other mill processing defects. 578 calls out the use of either a single or dual element probe that is 1” to 1 1/8” in diameter with a nominal frequency of 2.25 MHz recommended.
