16、626:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each membe

17、r body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Elec

18、trotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopt

19、ed by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of paten

20、t rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 15626 was prepared by CEN (as EN 15617) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 5, Testing and inspection of

21、 welds, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member bodies. Request for official interpretations of any aspect of ISO 15626 should be directed to the Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 5 via your national standards body.

Length is defined by the differe

30、nce of the x-coordinates of the indication. The height is defined as the maximum difference of the z-coordinates at any given x-position. 5.2 Determination of length 5.2.1 General Dependent upon the type of indication, one of the techniques for length sizing according to 5.2.2 or 5.2.3 shall be appl

31、ied: 5.2.2 Length sizing of elongated straight indications This type of indication does not change significantly in the through-wall direction. A hyperbolic cursor is fitted to the indication. Assuming the discontinuity is elongated and has a finite length, this will only be possible at each end. Th

32、e distance moved between acceptable fits at each end of the indication is taken to represent the length of the discontinuity (see Figure 1).

33、2.3 Length sizing of elongated curved indications This type of indication does change significantly in the through-wall direction. A hyperbolic cursor is positioned at either end of the indication at a time delay of one third of the indication penetration. The distance moved between the cursor posit

34、ions at each end of the indication is taken to represent the length of the discontinuity (see Figure 2). Key 1 Length of indication Figure 2 Length sizing of elongated curved indication 5.3 Determination of height 5.3.1 General The height measurement shall be done from the A-scan and by choosing a c

35、onsistent position on the signals, considering phase reversals. It is recommended to use one of the following methods: Method 1: by measuring the transit time between the leading edges of the signals; Method 2: by measuring the transit time between the first peaks; Method 3: by measuring the transit

36、 time between the maximum amplitudes.
