The ASME XI Appendix VII Set is a specialized training set consisting of eight pipe and plate specimens with at least 20 defects. The set is designed for advanced training and qualification in defect detection, defect size measurement, and defect interpretation in complex welded structures and exotic material combinations.

It comes with comprehensive documentation showing the exact location, size and type of each defect ("flaw truth").
