Tube number
The second dimension refers to the number of the specific boiler tube to be
inspected.
Custom points
The third dimension refers to the actual thickness reading location at the specified
elevation on the specified tube.
The three dimensions are combined in a single ID number to precisely identify the
exact location of each thickness reading. Table 10 on page 103 shows an example in
which incrementation for the custom points was chosen first, the tube number second,
and the elevation third.
