@ Kim Your reference link in "English" is in German only. Perhaps you clicked onto the automatic machine translation to English. Please note that this ultrasonic method is developed and used to detect flaws and similar material failures. Material failures are no "errors", but defects.

Flawed logic The 3 entries with 'Fehler' in my List of Terms used in Ultrasonic Testing published by the International Insitute of Welding, 1967, purchased for a mere 17 francs 50 in 1985, namely Fehlerecho, Fehlernachweisempfindlichkeit, and Fehlerortungstab, all have 'flaw' in the English equivalents.

flaw expectancy range

I doubted the previously proposed translations immediately, because they seemed a bit weird to me as an engineer with relevant experience in quality assurance and testing technology. But first some German references and then some translations to Englisch, followed by genuine English references.

2.1 Fehlererwartungsbereich
Aufgrund der bekannten Wellengeometrie und der bekannten Prüfkopfposition kann der Fehlererwartungsbereich für Oberflächenrisse ermittelt werden. …

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Starten einer Zeitblende, insbesondere der Zeitblende für einen Fehlererwartungsbereich, bei der Ultraschall-Werkstoffprüfung nach dem Impuls-Echo-Verfahren für einen schräg in die Oberfläche eines Werkstücks einschallenden Prüfkopf sowie auf eine nach diesem Verfahren arbeitende Vorrichtung. …

[0001] … mittels Ultraschall, bei dem eine systematische Untersuchung des Werkstücks bzw. seiner, gegebenenfalls durch manuelle oder mechanisierte Vorprüfung voruntersuchten, Fehlererwartungsbereiche nach dem Ultra­schall-Echobildverfahren in einzelnen Querschnittebenen zur Erzeugung eines Querschnitts- oder B-Bildes vorgenommen wird, wobei die Position der Ultraschallwandleranordnung auf dem Werkstück und bzw. oder die Einschallrichtung verändert werden und wobei für die Fehlerortung die Laufzeiten der Reflexionen berechnet werden.

[0003] Bei der Ultraschallprüfung komplexer Geometrien, zum Beispiel der Schaufelfüße vom Schaufelblatt aus, ist eine gleichbleibende, lotrechte Einschallung auf den Fehlererwartungsbereich bei gleichbleibenden Schallwegen nur schwer realisierbar.

Eine Schaltungsvorrichtung der besagten Art wird beispielsweise in der DE-PS 22 26 172 in den Spalten 1o-12 beschrieben. Bei dieser bekannten Schaltung wird der jeweils in den Zwischenspeichern gespeicherte Maximalwert des Impulses zu festen Zeitabschnitten in den Hauptspeicher übernommen. Diese Zeitabschnitte werden durch Festlegung der jeweiligen Fehlererwartungsbereiche vorgegeben.

A circuit device of the said type is for example in the DE-PS 22 26 172 in columns 1o-12 described. With this well-known Circuit, the maximum value of the pulse stored in the intermediate memories is transferred to the main memory at fixed time segments. These time segments are determined by defining the respective error expectancy ranges given.

(Translated from German)

Beim SAFT-Verfahren werden in jedem Bildpunkt im Fehlererwartungsbereich mittels Rückwärtsrechnung alle in Frage kommenden HF-Signale der Echos mit einer Zeitverschiebung (Phasenlage) addiert, die die Echos hätten, wenn dieser Bildpunkt die Quelle einer reflektierten Welle, d.h. ein Reflektor, wäre.
https://patents.google.com/patent/EP2120045A1/de
[0021] … In the SAFT method, every eligible point in the error expectancy range is back-calculated to add all the relevant RF signals of the echoes with a time shift (phase) that would have the echoes if that pixel were the source of a reflected wave, i. a reflector, would be.

Brennpunkt und Nahfeldlänge sind die Entfernungen mit der besten Schallkonzentration und
Reflektorerkennung. Wenn ein Prüfkopf für einen kritischen Test ausgewählt wird, muss daher der
Fehlererwartungsbereich im Brennpunktbereich oder in der Nahfeldlänge liegen.
https://www.bakerhughesds.com/sites/g/files/cozyhq596/files/...
Focal point and near field length are the distances with the best sound concentration and reflector recognition. Therefore, when a probe is selected for a critical test, the flaw expectancy range must be in the focal area or near field length.

(source language)

"error guessing range" no results found for "error guessing range"
"error expectancy area" 2 results (0.28 seconds)
"error expectancy range" 2 results (0.32 seconds)
"flaw expectancy range" Approximatively 145 results (0,38 seconds)

Conclusion: The correct term is " flaw expectancy range". Additional English references:

Focal point and near field length are the distances with the best sound concentration and reflector recognition. Therefore when a probe is selected for a critical test, the flaw expectancy range must be in the focal area or near field length.

In the flaw expectancy range the DGS curve for the desired limiting flaw size is effective, whereas in the backwall echo range a switch must be made to the DGS backwall echo curve.

For transducers manufactured to North American standards, GE Inspection Technologies offers three performance ranges: Alpha, Benchmark, and Gamma Series. Waveform and frequency certification, per ASTM E-1065, are supplied with all flaw detection transducers at no charge.

However, the Backwall Echo Attenuation option also allows to systematically increase the gain.The operator can in this way for example only increase the gain within the flaw expectancy range in order to peak the echo in this range.

sound field provides sufficient sensitivity within this flaw expectancy range for detecting the reflectors which are often extremly small (smaller than the wave length λ)

In this way, you can, for example, only increase the gain within the flaw expectancy range in order to peak the echo in this range.

error expectation range // error guessing range

https://www.javatpoint.com/error-guessing-technique-in-black...

Error guessing is a technique in which there is no specific method for identifying the error. It is based on the experience of the test analyst, where the tester uses the experience to guess the problematic areas of the software. It is a type of black box testing technique which does not have any defined structure to find the error.
