32、16a24.10 Location and Identification MarkersLead numbers and letters should be used to designate the part number and locationnumber. The size and thickness of the markers shall depend on the ability of the radioscopic technique to discern the markers onthe images.As a general rule, markers from 0.06

33、 to 0.12 in. (1.5 to 3 mm) thick will suffice for most low energy (less than 1 MeV)X-ray and iridium192 radioscopy. For higher energy (greater than 1 MeV and cobalt60) radioscopy, it may be necessary to usemarkers that are thicker (0.12 in. (3 mm) thick or more). In cases where the system being used

34、 provides a display of object positionwithin the image, this shall be acceptable as identification of object location. In case of digital storage of the images, digital markersand annotations in the image may be used if they are stored permanently with the image.5. Materials5.1 Recording MediaRecord

35、ing media for storage of images shall be in a format agreed by the purchaser and supplier. Thismay include either analog or digital media.6. Basis of Application6.1 Personnel Qualification NDT personnel shall be qualified in accordance with a nationally recognized NDT personnelqualification practice

36、 or standard such as ANSI/ASNT-CP-189, SNT-TC-1A, NAS 410, ISO 9712, or a similar document. Thepractice or standard used and its applicable revision shall be specified in the contractual agreement between the using parties.6.2 Qualification of Nondestructive Testing AgenciesIf specified in the contr

37、actual agreement, NDTagencies shall be qualifiedand evaluated as described in Practice E543. The applicable edition of Practice E543 shall be specified in the contractualagreement.6.3 Performance MeasurementRadioscopic examination system performance parameters must be determined initially andmonitor

38、ed regularly to ensure consistent results. The best measure of total radioscopic examination system performance can bemade with the system in operation, using a test object similar to the test part under actual operating conditions. This indicates theuse of an actual or simulated test object or cali

39、bration block containing actual or simulated features that must be detected reliably.Such a calibration block will provide a reliable indication of the radioscopic examination systems capabilities. Conventional wireor plaque-type image quality indicators (IQIs) may be used in place of, or in additio

40、n to, the simulated test object or calibrationblock. Performance measurement methods are subject to agreement between the purchaser and the supplier of radioscopicexamination services.services; if no special agreements are done the performance shall be measured in accordance with 6.3.2,6.3.3, 6.3.4

41、or combinations thereof, or Practice E1411 or Appendix X1 of E1255.6.3.1 Performance Measurement IntervalsSystem performance measurement techniques should be standardized so thatperformance measurement tests may be duplicated readily at specified intervals. Radioscopic examination performance should

42、 beevaluated at sufficiently frequent intervals, as may be agreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier of radioscopicexamination services, in order to minimize the possibility of time-dependent performance variations.6.3.2 Measurement with IQIsSystem performance measurements using IQIs shall

43、be in accordance with accepted industrystandards describing the use of IQIs. The IQIs should be placed on the radiation source side of the test object, as close as possibleto the region of interest. The use of wire IQIs should also take into account the fact that the radioscopic examination may exhi

44、bitasymmetrical sensitivity, in which case the wire diameter axis shall be oriented along the systems axis of least sensitivity.Selection of IQI thickness should be consistent with the test part radiation path length.6.3.3 Measurement With a Calibration BlockThe calibration block may be an actual te

45、st part with known features that arerepresentative of the range of features to be detected, or it may be fabricated to simulate the test object with a suitable range ofrepresentative features. Alternatively, the calibration block may be a one-of-a-kind or few-of-a-kind reference test objectcontainin

46、g known imperfections that have been verified independently. Calibration blocks containing known, natural defects areuseful on a single-task basis, but they are not universally applicable. A duplicate manufactured calibration block should be usedwhere standardization among two or more radioscopic ex

47、amination systems is required. The calibration blocks should approximatethe test object as closely as is practical, being made of the same material with similar dimensions and features in the radioscopicexamination region of interest. Manufactured calibration blocks shall include features at least a

48、s small as those that must bedetected reliably in the actual test object in locations where they are expected to occur. It is permissible to produce the calibrationblock in sections where features are internal to the test object. Calibration block details are a matter of agreement between thepurchas

49、er and the supplier of radioscopic examination services.6.3.3.1 Use of a Calibration BlockThe calibration block shall be placed in the radioscopic examination system in the sameposition as the actual test object. The calibration block may be manipulated through the same range of motions as are availablefor the actual test object so as to maximize the radioscopic examination systems response to the simulated imperfections.6.3.3.2 Radioscopic Examination TechniquesTechniques used for the calibration block shall be identical to those used foractual examination o
