Other materials maybe used in accordance with 7.3.4.1.2 The IQI consists of sets of wires arranged in order ofincreasing diameter. The diameter sizes specified in Table 1 areestablished from a consecutive series of

International usersof these type IQI standards who prefer the use of EN 46

17、2-1 fortheir particular applications should specify such alternateprovisions within separate contractual arrangements from thisstandard.5. Image Quality Indicator (IQI) Procurement5.1 When selecting IQIs for procurement, the followingfactors should be considered:5.1.1 Determine the alloy group(s) of

18、 the material to beexamined.5.1.2 Determine the thickness or thickness range of thematerial(s) to be examined.5.1.3 Select the applicable IQIs that represent the requiredIQI thickness(s) and alloy(s).6. Image Quality Levels6.1 The quality level required using wire penetrametersshall be equivalent to

19、 the 2-2T level of Practice E 1025 forhole-type IQIs unless a higher or lower quality level is agreedupon between purchaser and supplier. Table 4provides a list ofvarious hole-type IQIs and the diameter of wires of corre-sponding equivalent penetrameter sensitivity (EPS) with theapplicable 1T, 2T, a

20、nd 4T holes in the IQI. This table can beused for determining 1T, 2T, and 4T quality levels. AppendixX1 gives the equation for calculating other equivalencies ifneeded.6.2 In specifying quality levels, the contract, purchase order,product specification, or drawing should clearly indicate thethicknes

21、s of material to which the quality level applies. Carefulconsideration of required quality levels is particularly impor-tant.7. Material Groups7.1 General:7.1.1 Materials have been designated in eight groups basedon their radiographic absorption characteristics: groups 03, 02,and 01 for light metals

22、 and groups 1 through 5 for heavymetals.7.1.2 The light metal groups, magnesium (Mg), aluminum(Al), and titanium (Ti) are identified 03, 02, and 01 respec-tively, for their predominant alloying constituent. The materialsare listed in order of increasing radiation absorption.7.1.3 The heavy metal gro

23、ups, steel, copper-base, nickel-base, and kindred alloys are identified 1 through 5. Thematerials increase in radiation absorption with increasingnumerical designation.7.1.4 Common trade names or alloy designations have beenused for clarification of the pertinent materials.7.1.5 The materials from w

24、hich the IQI for the group are tobe made are designated in each case and these IQIs areapplicable for all materials listed in that group. In addition, anygroup IQI may be used for any material with a higher groupnumber, provided the applicable quality level is maintained.7.2 Materials Groups:7.2.1 M

41、material, may be used if the followingrequirements are met. Two blocks of equal thickness, one ofthe material to be examined (production material) and one ofthe IQI material, shall be radiographed on one film by oneexposure at the lowest energy level to be used for production.Transmission densitomet

42、er measurements of the radiographicimage of each material shall be made. The density of eachimage shall be between 2.0 and 4.0. If the image density of theIQI material is within 1.00 to 1.15 times (0 % to + 15 %) theimage density of the production material, IQIs made of thatIQI material may be used

43、in radiography of that productionmaterial.
