Each radiographshall also carry the identification

21、of the NDT facility inspectingthe component and the date of the examination. Radiographs ofa repair area shall be identified with R1, R2, R3, and so forth,indicating the number of times that repairs were attempted. Forexplosives and propellants, the conditioning temperature shallbe identified on eac

22、h X-ray film if the ordnance has beenconditioned to a temperature other than facility ambient forpurposes of examination.6.5 Examination and CoverageThe number of parts ex-amined, and the radiographic coverage of each part shall be asspecified by drawings, radiographic techniques, radiographicmanual

23、s, handbooks for aircraft technical orders, or otherspecifications, as applicable. Areas to be examined shall beidentified on the drawing by using the symbols in accordancewithANSI/AWS A2.4 or other systems of designations that areeasily identified on the drawing. If the number of parts to beexamine

24、d and the amount of coverage of each part is notspecified, all parts shall be examined and shall receive 100 %radiographic coverage.6.6 Examination SequenceThe sequence for radiographicexamination in the production operation should be specified inthe manufacturing or assembly process specification,

25、contract,or purchase order. If not specified, radiographic examinationshall be performed at a stage in the process of manufacturingor assembly at which discontinuities can be detected. Radio-graphic examination may be performed before heat treatment,provided liquid penetrant or magnetic particle exa

26、minations areperformed after heat treatment.6.7 Nonfilm TechniquesWhen permitted by purchase or-der, contract, or specification, radioscopic examination shall bein accordance with Practice E 1255 and appropriate annex.Qualification of radioscopic systems shall be in accordancewith Practice E 1411. P

27、rior approval of the detailed examina-tion, evaluation, and quality control procedures shall be ob-tained from the Level III radiographer of the cognizantengineering organization (see 5.1.1).6.8 Multi-Film TechniquesFilm techniques with two ormore films of the same or different speeds in the same fi

28、lmholder, to be used in either single or superimposed filmviewing, shall be permitted provided that the applicable radio-graphic quality level, and film density requirements (see 6.9and 6.10), are achieved for the area of interest.6.9 Radiographic Quality LevelsThe five quality levelslisted in Table

29、 3 may be assigned on the basis of IQI thicknessand the perceptibility of one, two, or three holes in thehole-type IQI image on the radiograph. If the quality level isnot specified on the drawing or other applicable documents, itshall be Level 2-2T. Unless otherwise specified by the cogni-zant engin

30、eering organization, hole-type IQIs used for exami-nation of material 0.25 in. or less in thickness shall be 0.005-in.minimum thickness.6.10 Film DensityFor single-film viewing, the film den-sity shall be $1.5 in the area of interest. Where superimposedfilm viewing is used, the film density of the s

31、uperimposed filmsshall be from 2.0 in the area of interest, and each individualfilm shall not have a film density below 1.0 in the area ofinterest. Film densities above 4.0 are permitted when agreedupon between the cognizant engineering organization and theNDT facility. In no case shall the maximum

32、film densityexceed 4.5. For single-film viewing, film densities less than 1.5are permitted only when items not requiring an IQI (see 6.18)are inspected. The maximum readable film density depends onthe film viewer used and its maximum luminance (see 6.27.4).The maximum readable film density shall alw

33、ays be posted onthe viewer.6.11 Processing RadiographsRadiographs shall be freefrom blemishes which may interfere with film interpretation.6.12 IQI SelectionThe IQI thickness shall be based on athickness not greater than the nominal thickness to be radio-graphed. For double-wall exposures and double

34、-wall viewingtechniques, the IQI shall be based on the double-wall thicknessof the component. The IQI thicknesses that are in between, orsmaller than, the thickness increments in Fig. A1.1 (forexample, a hole-type IQI that is 0.0025 or 0.006 in. thick) maybe used but are not mandatory. For double-wa

35、ll exposures andsingle-wall viewing techniques, the IQI shall be based on thesingle-wall thickness of the component. In no case shall the IQIthickness be based on a thickness greater than the thickness tobe radiographed. For fabrication welds the IQI shall be selectedin accordance with Annex A2. For

36、 explosive/propellants,rocket motors, and their components, IQI selection shall be asspecified in accordance with Annex A3.6.13 Placement of IQIsAn IQI shall be placed on eachpart radiographed for the duration of exposure, unless anumber of identical parts are simultaneously exposed on aTABLE 3 Qual

38、Equivalent IQI sensitivity is that thickness of the IQI expressed as a percent-age of the specimen thickness in which a 2T hole would be clearly visible under thesame radiographic conditions.E1742065single film. In such a case, a single IQI shall be placed upon thesource side of a part at the outer

39、edge of the cone of radiationor farthest extremity of the exposure setup (that is, farthestfrom the radiation beam centerline). For examination ofirregular objects, the IQI shall be placed on the area of the partfarthest from the film. The IQIs shall be placed adjacent to thearea of interest, since

40、accept/reject decisions cannot be made inthe area directly beneath the IQI. Where it is not practicable toplace the IQI on the part, the separate block technique in6.13.1, or the film-side technique in 6.13.2, may be used asapplicable.6.13.1 Shim, Separate Block, or Like-Section IQITechniqueWhere it

41、 is impractical to place the IQI upon thepart radiographed, the IQI may be placed on the source side ofa separate shim, block, or like section, from the same materialgroup (or material that is radiographically similar, see 5.5.2).The shim, block, or like section and IQI shall be placed on theouter e

42、dge of the cone of radiation. The shim, block, or likesection shall exceed the IQI dimensions so that at least threesides of the IQI shall be visible on the radiograph. If required,the shim shall be placed on a low absorptive material (such aspolystyrene plastic or its equivalent) to ensure that the

43、 IQI shallnot be any closer to the film than the source side of the part, orarea of interest being evaluated.6.13.2 Film-Side IQI PlacementWhen examining double-walled parts such as tubing or hollow castings, and it is notpractical to place an IQI on the source side of the part, IQIsmay be placed on

44、 the film side of the part as specified in6.13.2.1 and 6.13.2.2. A letter “F” shall be placed adjacent tothe IQI.6.13.2.1 Film-Side IQIs (Double Wall-Double Image)When performing double-wall radiography in which both wallsare viewed for acceptance, the film-side radiographic techniqueshall be demons

45、trated on an exposure of a like section in whichthe required IQI shall be placed on the source side, and sets ofwire IQIs, (or a series of hole-type IQIs) ranging in thicknessfrom that of the required IQI to one fourth that thickness shallbe placed on the film side. If the required IQI on the source

46、 sideindicates the specified radiographic quality level, then theimage of either the smallest IQI hole in the thinnest IQI, or theimage of the smallest wire, visible on the film side, shall beused to determine the proper film-side IQI to be used forproduction radiographs.6.13.2.2 Film-Side IQIs (Dou

47、ble Wall-Single Image)When performing double-wall radiography in which only thewall portion next to the film is viewed for acceptance, thefilm-side radiographic technique shall be demonstrated on anexposure of a like section in which the required IQI is placedon the inside of the part and a set of I

48、QIs, as specified in6.13.2.1, are placed on the film side. If the IQI on the insideindicates the required radiographic quality level, then theimage of either the smallest IQI hole in the thinnest IQI, or theimage of the smallest wire, visible on the film side, shall beused to determine the proper fi

49、lm-side IQI to be used forproduction radiographs.6.13.3 IQI Qualification ExposureWhen included in thewritten procedure and approved by the Level III radiographerof the cognizant engineering organization, a single exposurewith the applicable IQI may be made to qualify the examina-tion process.6.13.3.1 Qualification ExposureWhen it is impractical tocontinually place IQIs on a part requiring more than oneexposure, a single exposure of the IQI may be made to qualifythe examination process.As long as the radiographic techniqueis not changed, subsequent expo
