## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for structural steel inspection. It allows AI agents to determine maximum allowable discontinuity sizes using `get_discontinuity_limits`, plan sensor placement with `calculate_inspection_spacing`, and establish inspection coverage via `determine_test_frequency`. It also provides a critical validation step with `validate_inspection_result` to check if detected defects meet specific AWS D1.1 or ISO 5817 quality levels. The engine accounts for material thickness, weld geometry, and fatigue loading conditions to ensure structural integrity.

## Tools

### calculate_inspection_spacing
Calculate the maximum allowable inspection spacing

### get_discontinuity_limits
Get maximum allowable discontinuity sizes for a specific weld

### determine_test_frequency
Determine the required test frequency for weld inspection

### validate_inspection_result
Validate if a detected defect meets the acceptance criteria

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the maximum allowable porosity size for a 10mm fillet weld with ISO_5817_B criteria?
```

**Response:** 
```
The maximum allowable porosity size for a 10mm fillet weld under ISO 5817 Level B is 1.5mm.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much of a 5000mm weldment must be inspected if it is a primary structural weld?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a primary structural weldment of 5000mm, a 100% inspection length of 5000mm is required to meet compliance.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I found a 3mm undercut on a 12mm thick groove weld. Does it pass AWS_D1.1_STRUCTURAL?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the 3mm undercut exceeds the permitted limit for this weld type and thickness under AWS D1.1 standards.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which welding standards are supported?**
The engine supports AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding Code - Steel) and ISO 5817 (Quality levels for imperfections).

**How does fatigue loading affect the results?**
When `isFatigueLoading` is enabled, the tool strictly reduces all allowable discontinuity dimensions to prevent crack initiation under cyclic loads.

**Can I use this for ultrasonic testing (UT) planning?**
Yes, you can use `calculate_inspection_spacing` to determine the maximum allowable distance between ultrasonic probes based on material thickness.
