31、acteristics 4.1.1 General UV-A LED lamps technology needs to be understood since they are used for lighting in NDT methods using fluorescent materials, ISO 3059 deals with requirements but the following clauses provide technical explanation and guidance for the use of UV-A lamps in NDT. 4.1.2 Symmet

32、ry of the spectrum around the centroid wavelength The optical brighteners used in penetrants and some fluorescent pigments used in the MT detection media usually absorb 80 % of the radiation energy between 340 nm and 380 nm. Therefore for UV-A LEDs a symmetrical, Gaussian emission spectrum around th

33、e peak output wavelength is recommended. PD CEN/TS 17108:2017CEN/TR 17108:2017 (E) 6 The optical brighteners used in penetrants and some fluorescent pigments used in the MT detection media have an absorption peak between 360 nm and 370 nm. The centroid wavelength of the UV-A source shall be close to

34、 the peak absorption so that the radiation is more efficient to excite the dyes of the fluorescent penetrants and the pigments of the fluorescent detection media. These conditions are met when the centroid wavelength is close to the central wavelength (emission peak). 4.1.3 Unwanted visible light of

35、 the UV-A spectrum: limitation of the emission 380 nm The eye is sensitive to wavelengths greater than 380 nm. The 380 nm to 420 nm area (violet light and extreme violet) is emitted as a stray light by most of UV-A source. This violet can cause, as UV-A, visual blue haze by exciting some proteins in

36、 the eye. Vision of the direct violet and indirect blue haze effect leads to increasing the noise which impairs the detection of indications. Manufacturer shall minimize the emission of violet light by carefully selecting the LEDs, the filter, and using a well-controlled thermal management system to

37、 prevent any drift leading to an increase of unwanted violet output. This visible violet to which the eye is sensitive is not fully filtered by Wood filters nor by all the UV-blocking goggles; this comes at the cost of the contrast at the inspection stage on all types of metal parts (except yellow m

38、etals that naturally absorb violet and blue). Bright surfaces strongly reflect violet light, requiring the inspector to guide the relative position of the parts to avoid this reflection; matt surfaces turn to a purplish colour background regardless of the orientation of the beam. 4.1.4 Radiometric s

39、pecifications: UV-A/violet ratio Violet light is the 380 nm 420 nm area. In order to take into account the data described in the previous clause, the manufacturer or the supplier shall state the measurements relevant to the UV-A/ violet ratio in the product data sheet (user manual, procedure, produc

40、t manual, etc.). The result may be given in the form of a ratio calculated by analysing the spectrum with a spectrophotometer positioned at the beam centre, then, by discriminating the UV-A area up to 380 nm and the violet area, 380 nm to 420 nm. For professional purposes, UV-A sources should be use

41、d so as to minimize their effect, as follows: a Wood filter or similar, to remove violet as much as possible, shall be an integral part of the source.

44、 will cause beam instability, spectrum shift with violet increase and power loss. In case of LED sources, the elements ensuring the extraction of calories shall be maintained in an optimal operation condition (e.g. dust filter replacement, removing dust deposits on coolers, renewal of thermal paste

45、during LED maintenance etc.). An automatic circuit-breaker system shall be built-in to take action in case of overheating; leading to a non-compliance of the beam (wavelength shift beyond 370 nm and violet versus UV-A ratio increase for LEDs). Regarding LED sources: during their use, no decrease of

46、power, likely to reduce the irradiance without notice by the operator, shall ever be acceptable as a means to prevent overheating.

47、ometrical characteristics 4.2.1 General The variety of inspection circumstances and the variety of part sizes and localizations, such as large individual parts or grapes of small sized parts, need our attention to choose adequate lighting scenari; a good choice leads to visual performance enhancemen

48、t and better POD. 4.2.2 Geometric consideration for use The pattern and the beam size of the source in use should be fitted to the surface of the area inspected on the parts and the arrangement thereof (if parts are displayed as “clusters” or as “trays” of several parts). The way the human eye works

49、 and, particularly, the roles of the fovea and of the peripheral vision shall be taken into account during inspection. Therefore, several types of beam patterns should be considered: wide or narrow, with sharp or progressive edges to adapt the beam to the spatial conditions and orientation on the inspection zone to use the full capability of detection of the human vision. A practical test of the source for the specific application is always helpful before choosing the beam pattern. The field of vision may be considered as three areas
