30、 and order (see also EN 583-1): the areas of the casting and the number or percentage of castings to which the ultrasonic examination require-ments apply; the severity level to be applied to the various zones or areas of the casting; requirements for a written examination procedure; whether there ar

31、e any additional requirements for the examination procedure, see also 5.5.1.BS EN 12680-2:2003EN 12680-2:2003 (E)EN 12680-2:2003 (E)64.2 Extent of examinationThe casting shall be examined so that the agreed areas are totally covered (insofar as this is possible from theshape of the casting) by the u

32、se of the best applicable examination technique.For wall thicknesses greater than 600 mm, agreement shall be made between the parties concerned on the testprocedure and also on the recording and acceptance levels.4.3 Maximum permissible size of discontinuities4.3.1 GeneralThe purchaser shall specify

33、 the acceptance level according to the required severity level for planar and volumetricdiscontinuities within each zone and in each specified area of the casting.The wall section shall be divided into zones as shown in Figure 1. These sections relate to the sizes of castingsready for assembly (fini

34、sh machined).4.3.2 Indications without measurable dimensionsIn special rim zones and at weld preparation ends, indications without measurable dimensions are limited to amaximum number of indications.These indications shall not exceed the limits given in Table 1.4.3.3 Indications with measurable dime

35、nsions4.3.3.1 Planar discontinuitiesPlanar discontinuities shall not exceed the limits given in Figure 2.The area of indication with measurable length but with non-measurable dimension in through-wall direction shall becalculated according to the formula given in Figure 2.The sizing of small planar

36、discontinuities, as given in Figure 2, becomes more difficult with increasing beam-pathlength and sound-beam diameter. As a guide, these sizings are normally applied to a rim zone of 30 mm. It makesthe use of probes with focussed beams such as twin-crystal probes necessary.4.3.3.2 Volumetric discont

37、inuitiesVolumetric discontinuities shall not exceed the sizes given in Figure 3 for rim zone and Figure 4 for core zone. Indi-cations with measurable dimensions are not permissible in severity level 1. The area of an indication with measur-able length but non-measurable width shall be calculated in

38、accordance with the formula given in Figures 3 and 4.4.4 Personnel qualificationIt is assumed that ultrasonic examination is performed by qualified and capable personnel. In order to prove thisqualification, it is recommended to certify personnel in accordance with EN 473.4.5 Wall section zonesThe w

39、all section shall be divided into zones as shown in Figure 1. These sections relate to the dimensions of thecasting ready for assembly (finish machined).BS EN 12680-2:2003EN 12680-2:2003 (E)EN 12680-2:2003 (E)74.6 Severity levelsIf the purchaser specifies different severity levels in different areas

40、 of the same casting, all of these areas shall beclearly identified on the purchasers drawing and shall include: all necessary dimensions for accurate location of zones; the full extent of all weld preparations and the thickness of any special rim zone.Severity level 1 is only applied to weld prepar

41、ations and special rim zones.Unless other requirements have been agreed by the time of acceptance of the order, for finishing welds, the re-quirements for the parent metal shall apply.5 Examination5.1 PrinciplesThe principles of ultrasonic examination given in EN 583-1, EN 583-2 and EN 583-5 shall a

42、pply.5.2 MaterialThe suitability of material for ultrasonic examination is assessed by comparison with the echo height of a referencereflector (usually the first backwall echo) and the noise signal. This assessment shall be carried out on selectedcasting areas which are representative of the surface

43、 finish and of the total thickness range. The assessment areasshall have parallel surfaces.The reference echo height according to Table 2 shall be at least 6 dB above the noise signal.If the echo height of this smallest detectable flat-bottomed or equivalent side-drilled hole diameter at the end of

44、thetest range to be assessed is less than 6 dB above the grass level, then the ultrasonic testability is reduced. In thiscase, the flat-bottomed or side-drilled hole diameter which can be detected with a signal-noise ratio of at least 6 dBshall be noted in the test report and the additional procedur

45、e shall be agreed between the manufacturer and thepurchaser.NOTE For the definition of an adequate flat-bottomed hole size, the distance gain size system (DGS) or a test block ofidentical material, heat treatment condition and section thickness containing flat-bottomed holes with a diameter accordin

46、g toTable 2 or equivalent side-drilled holes, can be used. The following formula is used for converting the flat-bottomed hole di-ameter into the side-drilled hole diameter:sDD=2FBHQ4935,4(1)whereDQis the side-drilled hole diameter in millimetres;DFBHis the flat-bottomed hole diameter in millimetres

47、; is the wave length in millimetres;s is the path length in millimetres.The formula is applicable for DQ 2 and s 5 near-field length and is only defined for single element probes.BS EN 12680-2:2003EN 12680-2:2003 (E)EN 12680-2:2003 (E)85.3 Equipment, coupling medium, sensitivity and resolution of de
