Overview and theoretical analysis of modern international, interstate, industry and organization standards for ultrasonic inspection of railway rolling stock welded joints during manufacture are presented. Paying special attention to the standard’s implementation in terms of physical and mechanical including acoustic base metal joint properties, geometric features and the control of welded joints with partial weld penetration. Under analysis it has been established that international and branch standards have common features and apply to ultrasonic inspection of main types of welded joints: butt joints, T-joints and corner joints with full penetration of the weld root made of low-carbon and low-alloy steels, welding elements having plane-parallel surfaces and base metal material made by the same production technology. Based on the paper’s results the actual objectives in the field of ultrasonic welded joints inspection of railway rolling stock during its manufacture are formulated. The objectives include the stages of research and development of ultrasonic inspection techniques for welded joints: elements with different acoustic properties with partial penetration of weld root and wedge-shaped welded elements made by different manufacturing techniques.
