KS-code(KS B 0896) for nondestructive ultrasonic testing classifies the quality level by ratio of flaw size to plate thickness only. But stress distributions using verification(3 point bending test) show that location of the flaws is more important than the flaw size. So. KS-code should take the effect of flaw location for classifying the quality level of welded steel structures.
