INTERNAL CONCAVITY Any length of IC is acceptable, provided the density of the radiographic image of the internal concavity does not exceed that of the thinnest adjacent parent material. For areas that exceed the density of thethinnest adjacent parent material, the criteria for burn through are applicable.
