1、Designation: A 903/A 903M 99 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Specification forSteel Castings, Surface Acceptance Standards, MagneticParticle and Liquid Penetrant Inspection1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 903/A 903M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year

2、of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers acceptance criteria for thesur

3、face inspection of steel castings when nondestructivelyexamined by magnetic particle or liquid penetrant inspection.1.2 This specification is to be used wherever the inquiry,contract, order, or specification states that the acceptancestandards for magnetic particle or liquid penetrant inspectionshal

4、l be in accordance with Specification A 903/A 903M.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text the SIunits are shown in brackets. The values stated in each systemare not exact equivalents; therefore each system must be usedin

5、dependently of the other. Combining values from the twosystems may result in a nonconformance with this specifica-tion.2.
