1、Designation: A903/A903M 99 (Reapproved 2012)1Standard Specification forSteel Castings, Surface Acceptance Standards, MagneticParticle and Liquid Penetrant Inspection1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A903/A903M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof
2、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.1NOTETable 1 was editorially corrected in February 2016.1. Scope1.1 Thi
3、s specification covers acceptance criteria for thesurface 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
4、 magnetic particle or liquid penetrant inspectionshall be in accordance with Specification A903/A903M.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 exac
5、t equivalents; therefore each system must be usedindependently of the other. Combining values from the twosystems may result in a nonconformance with this specifica-tion.2.

Personnel Qualifications5.1 Personnel performing examination shall be qualified inaccordance with an acceptable written procedure as agreedupon between the purchaser and manufacturer.6. Evaluation of Indications6.1 All relevant indications shall be evaluated in terms ofthe accepta
11、nce criteria.6.2 Mechanical discontinuities are indicated by bleed-out ofthe penetrant or retention of the magnetic particle examinationmedium. However, false indications may be produced bylocalized surface irregularities, metallurgical discontinuities, ormagnetic permeability variations. Any indica
12、tion in excess ofthe acceptance criteria which is believed to be false may bereexamined. Surface conditioning may precede reexamination.When agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser,the liquid penetrant method may be used to verify the presenceof surface discontinuities which had been prev

18、 relevant indications,although individually acceptable are collectively unacceptablewhen they are grouped as described in 7.3.1 and 7.3.2.7.3.1 Four or more in a line, separated by116 in. 1.6 mmor less edge-to-edge.7.3.2 Four or more that are clustered and individuallyseparated from the nearest adjo
