What is the ultimate goal of defect sizing in the context of Electromagnetic Testing?

The ultimate goal of defect sizing in Electromagnetic Testing is to accurately assess and address defects. This process involves determining the dimensions, location, and often the nature of defects found in materials or components, which is crucial for evaluating their structural integrity and determining whether they can continue to be safely used or require further action. Proper defect sizing informs decisions about repairs, replacements, or other remedial measures, ultimately ensuring that the systems in which these components are used remain safe and functional.

Accurate defect sizing does not aim to completely eliminate all defects or to enhance the quality of test reports; instead, its focus is on delivering precise information about the defects to facilitate informed decision-making. While improving test equipment can enhance testing capabilities, it is not the primary aim of defect sizing.
