NOTE For product with thickness > 60 mm, a counting of the discontinuities is carried out using the characteristics curves for the 11 mm, 8 mm and 5 mm diameters holes :
Ез number of discontinuities giving echos with an amplitude between characteristic curves for the 8 mm and 11 mm diameter holes : 3 ;
Ед number of discontinuities giving echos with an amplitude between characteristic curves for the 5 mm and 8 mm diameter holes : 2.
