Systems and methods for non-destructive parts testing

A method for non-destructive testing of at least one test body, the method comprising steps of:

• positioning the test body in a test position wherein a bar code on the test body is configured for identifying the test body;
• wherein the positioning comprises affixing the test body between a plurality of retaining members;
• wherein the test body is in the test position and partially immersed in a testing pool filled with water;
• wherein the test body has at least one surface located at a first end thereof;
• transmitting ultrasonic waves, by a transmission device, into the test body at one or more locations on the surface;
• receiving portions of the ultrasonic waves, by a receiving device, that are reflected from or through the test body at the first end;
• generating, by a wave generating device, at least one test wave form based on the portions corresponding to each of the locations;
• comparing, by a wave processing device, the test wave form for the test body at each of the locations to a respective one of a set of calibration wave forms for a reference body;
• wherein the calibration wave form is indicative of characteristics of the reference body;
• recording, on a storage device, a result from the comparing, wherein the result is positive if the test body is eligible for use in an application and wherein the result is otherwise negative;
• outputting the result by an output device.
