NASA-STD-5009 Nondestructive Evaluation Requirements for Fracture-Critical Metallic Components

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This Technical Standard approved by NASA April 7, 2008. Superseding NASA-STD-(I)-5009 and MSFC-STD-1249. 28 p. The purpose of this standard is to establish the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) requirements for any NASA system or component, flight or ground, where fracture control is a requirement. This standard defines the primary requirements for NDE in support of NASA-STD-5019, Fracture Control Requirements for Spaceflight Hardware. NDE applied in-process for purposes of process control is not addressed in this document.
