This European Standard shall be given the status o

18、f a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2002. Annex A is informative. This standard includes a Bibliography. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Reg

20、 United Kingdom. 3 EN 10307:2001 (E) 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method for the ultrasonic-testing of uncoated flat austenitic and austenitic- ferritic stainless steel product for internal discontinuities. It is applicable to flat product in nominal thickness range of 6 mm to 200 mm.

21、Mechanised, semi-automatic or automatic techniques may be used but should be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. This standard also defines 3 quality classes for the flat product body (classes SI, S, and S,) and 4 quality classes (El, E, E, E4) for the edges in accordance with the criteri

22、a specified in clause 12. Other methods of testing, e.g. by transmission technique or other test equipments may be used at the manufacturers discretion provided that they give equivalent results to those obtained under the conditions of this standard. In the event of a dispute, only the method defin

23、ed in this standard prevails. Testing of flat product of thickness less than 6 mm may be the subject of special agreements between the parties concerned. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

34、s for agreements The following aspects concerning ultrasonic testing shall be agreed between the purchaser and supplier at the time of the enquiry or order : a) the manufacturing stage(s) at which ultrasonic testing shall be performed (see clause IO) ; b) the volume(s) to be tested and whether grid

35、scanning coverage or complete scanning coverage is required (see clause 13) ; c) the Quality Class required, or the Quality Classes and the zones to which they apply (see clause 15) ; d) the applicable recording level and acceptance criteria if different from those detailed in Tables 3 to 5 ; e) whe

36、ther any special scanning coverage, equipment or couplant is required in addition to that detailed in clauses 8 and 13 ; f) the scanning technique to be used if not manual ; g) the techniques to evaluate discontinuities (see clause 15) ; h) the technique(s) to be used for setting sensitivity (see cl

37、ause 12) ; i) whether the test is to be conducted in the presence of the purchaser or his representative ; j) whether a written procedure shall be submitted for approval by the purchaser (see clause 6). 5 Principle The method used is based on the reflection of ultrasonic waves (generally longitudina

38、l), the direction of which is approximately perpendicular to the surface of the product. The examination consists of : 5 EN 10307:2001 (E) a) locating and evaluation of discontinuity by comparing the amplitude of the discontinuity echo with the amplitude of the echo of a flat-bottomed hole of a give

39、n diameter and located at the same depth as the discontinuity. NOTE bottomed hole are taken into consideration : Only those discontinuities giving an echo amplitude equal or greater than that obtained with the reference flat- b) determining the area of the discontinuity according to the -6dB beam wi

40、dth technique. The width of the discontinuity shall be determined perpendicular to the rolling direction. The length shall be determined in the rolling direction. If areas with particular permeability are located, the testing conditions shall be adjusted in order to test these areas with the require

41、d sensitivity level. The examination is carried out during the first ultrasonic scan (first back wall echo) for all the product thicknesses and from one side only. 6 Procedure The inspection is normally carried out in the place of production or on the premises of the supplier. If specified on the or

42、der, the inspection may take place in the presence of the purchaser or his representative . 1) Ultrasonic testing shall be performed in accordance with a written procedure. Where specified in the enquiry or order, the written procedure shall be submitted to the purchaser for approval prior to testin

43、g. This written procedure shall be in the form of : a) a product specification ; or b) a procedure written specifically for the application ; or c) this European Standard may be used if it is accompanied by examination details specific to the application. The procedure shall contain the following de

44、tails as a minimum requirement : description of the item to be examined ; reference documents ; qualification and certification of examination personnel ; stage of manufacture at which the examination is carried out ; examination zones specified in terms of the applicable Quality Classes ; any speci

In order to prove this qualification, it is recommended to certify the per

47、sonnel in accordance with EN 473 or equivalent. 8 Ultrasonic test equipment 8.1 Instrument Instrument for manual testing shall feature A-scan presentation and shall comply with the requirements of EN 12668-1. 8.2 Probe 8.2.1 General The probes for manual testing shall conform to the requirements of

48、EN 12668-2. The probe shall have a frequency and dimensions such that the required sensitivity can be secured throughout the extent of the test field. The single transducer probes shall be such that their dead zone is as small as possible, .e. 15 % of the product thickness or 15 mm whichever is the

49、smaller. The focusing zone of the double transducer probes shall be adapted to the product thickness. 8.2.2 Nominal frequency The probes shall have a nominal frequency in the range of 1 MHz to 5 MHz. Probes of a nominal frequency that is outside the range of 1 MHz to 5 MHz may be used for automatic or semi-automatic testing and/or when the product exhibits high attenuation provided that the main requirements of this standard are met. When double transducer probes are used, the barrier separating the two transducers shall be oriented by an angle of 45“ to 90“ to the scan
