D-scan refers to the image produced when the data collected from an ultrasonic inspection is plotted on an end view of
the component. The true definition according to BS EN 1330-4:2000 is the 'Image of the results of an ultrasonic
examination showing a cross-section of the test object perpendicular to the scanning surface and perpendicular to the
projection of the beam axis on the scanning surface'.

The D-scan view is perpendicular to both the C-scan and the B-scan. However, like the C-scan, the D-scan usually shows
ultrasonic data collected through the whole or part of the inspection volume.
The D-scan allows quick discrimination of indications along a weld by presenting their position in depth from the scanning
surface. D-scans are often used in the presentation and analysis of TOFD data.

For more information on how D-scans are used see:

Diffraction (TOFD) technique', Insight Vol 49 No 4, 200-206, April 2007.

I would propose the following simple description: A D-scan is a volumetric representation of a scan projected as a side view
where the material volume is displayed in a graphical format as depth, surface distance and amplitude. (there seems to be a
distinct difference of opinion between European and North American interpretation of the projection. It is easiest explained in
relation to a weld: In Europe it is common to call a data view across the weld a B-scan however in North America it is more
common to call a view along the length of a weld a B-Scan. )

The Technology
AUT uses conventional and specialized transducers to introduce sound in
the test materials. These transducers are mounted to automated
robotic crawlers, which articulate to cover large areas of the vessel or
piping surface. The data collected is then displayed in color in multiple
A-Scan, B-Scan, C-Scan and D-Scan images.

A-scan representation is the view in which the signal amplitude is shown

as a vertical excursion from the horizontal sweep time trace.

The B-scan and D-scan presentations are two-dimensional views of

cross-sectional planes through the test object on different axis. This
imaging is helpful in distinguishing mid-wall inclusions such as
laminations and blistering, from back-wall discontinuities like erosion
and corrosion.

The C-scan image is a two-dimensional plan view of the object.

Indication of depth is color coded to provide the image with qualities,
which resemble a topographical map viewed from the inspecting
surface.
