Preface to the Third Edition
The amendments of this third English edition with respect to the second one concern beside some printing errors the replacement of some pictures in part D by more modern ones and updating the list of standards to the state of the fourth German edition.

Preface to the Second Edition
This seeond English edition is based on the third German edition. In view of most recent teehnologieal advanees it has beeome neeessary in many instanees to supplement the seeond German edition and to revise some parts completely.
In addition to piezo-eleetric methods, others are now also extensively diseussed in Chapter 8. As for the intensity method, ultrasonie holography is treated in the new Seetion 9.4. In Part B, for reasons of systematies, the resonanee method has been ineluded under transit-time methods. It appeared neeessary to elaborate in greater detail the definition of the properties of pulse-echo testing equipment and their measurements (10.4). The more recent findings of pulse speetroscopy (5.6) and sound-emission analysis (12) are mentioned only in passing because their significanee is still controversial. Apart from numerous additions, partieularly those coneerning automatie testing installations, Part C also eontains a new chapter whieh deals with tests on nu eIe ar reactors (28), as weIl as abrief diseussion of surfaee-hardness tests (32.4). It beeame impossible to include a critieal analysis of the principal standards in Chapter 33. A few are mentioned, however, where the most important subjeets (e.g., the testing of welded joints in Chapter 26) are discussed, while others are only tabulated in Chapter 33.
The present, vastly inereased literature made bibliographieal seleetion rather diffieult. Consequently, we wish to apologize to any authors whose reports may have been omitted beeause of limitations governing the size of this volume.
VI Preface
We wish to express our gratitude .to the publishers for their understanding and for their excellent cooperation in the preparation of this second English edition. The original authors also wish to thank their new co-workers who have been responsible for various additions, as weIl as the other contributors, too numerous to mention, who supplied valuable information.
Our thanks are also due to B. W. Zenzinger, Pretoria, South Africa, who also translated this edition from German into English and to John E. Bobbin of Stratford, Connecticut, for his assistance.
