2、ion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice2provides a uniform procedure for radio-graphic examination of metallic castings using radiographicfilm as the reco
3、rding medium.1.2 This standard addresses the achievement of, or protocolsfor achieving, common or practical levels of radiographiccoverage for castings, to detect primarily volumetric disconti-nuities to sensitivity levels measured by nominated imagequality indicators. All departures, including alte
4、rnate means ormethods to increase coverage, or address challenges of detect-ing non-volumetric planar-type discontinuities, shall be agreedupon between the purchaser and supplier and shall considerAppendix X1 and Appendix X2.1.3 The radiographic techniques stated herein provide ad-equate assurance f
5、or defect detectability; however, it is recog-nized that, for special applications, specific techniques usingmore or less stringent requirements may be required than thosespecified. In these cases, the use of alternate radiographictechniques shall be as agreed upon between purchaser andsupplier (als
6、o see Section 5).1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non

22、nt between the usingparties.5.1.3 ApparatusGeneral requirements (see 6.1 through6.9) shall be specified.5.1.4 RequirementsGeneral requirements (see 8.1, 8.2,8.5, and 8.7.4) shall be specified.5.1.5 Procedure Requirements (see 9.1, 9.1.1, 9.3, 9.7.4, and9.7.7) shall be specified.5.1.6 RecordsRecord r
23、etention (see 12.1) shall be speci-fied.6. Apparatus6.1 Radiation Sources:6.1.1 X Radiation SourcesSelection of appropriate X-rayvoltage and current levels is dependent upon variables regard-ing the specimen being examined (material type and thickness)and economically permissible exposure time. The
24、suitability ofthese X-ray parameters shall be demonstrated by attainment ofrequired penetrameter (IQI) sensitivity and compliance with allother requirements stipulated herein. Guide E94 containsprovisions concerning exposure calculations and charts for theuse of X-ray sources.6.1.2 Gamma Radiation S
25、ourcesIsotope sources, whenused, shall be capable of demonstrating the required radio-graphic sensitivity.6.2 Film Holders and CassettesFilm holders and cassettesshall be light-tight and shall be handled properly to reduce thelikelihood that they may be damaged. They may be flexiblevinyl, plastic, o
26、r any durable material; or, they may be madefrom metallic materials. In the event that light leaks into thefilm holder and produces images on the film extending into thearea of interest, the film shall be rejected. If the film holderexhibits light leaks, it shall be repaired before reuse ordiscarded
27、. Film holders and cassettes should be routinelyexamined to minimize the likelihood of light leaks.6.3 Intensifying Screens:6.3.1 Lead-Foil Screens:6.3.1.1 Intensifying screens of the lead-foil type are gener-ally used for all production radiography. Lead-foil screens shallbe of the same approximate
28、 area dimensions as the film beingused and they shall be in direct contact with the film duringexposure.6.3.1.2 Recommended screen thicknesses are listed in Table1 for the applicable voltage range being used.6.3.1.3 Sheet lead, with or without backing, used for screensshould be visually examined for
29、 dust, dirt, oxidation, crackingor creasing, foreign material or other condition that couldrender undesirable nonrelevant images on the film.6.3.2 Fluorescent, Fluorometallic, or Other MetallicScreens:6.3.2.1 Fluorescent, fluorometallic, or other metallic screensmay be used. However, they must be ca
30、pable of demonstratingthe required penetrameter (IQI) sensitivity. Fluorescent orfluorometallic screens may cause limitations in image quality(see Guide E94, Appendix X1.)6.3.2.2 Screen CareAll screens should be handled care-fully to avoid dents, scratches, grease, or dirt on activesurfaces. Screens
31、 that render false indications on radiographsshall be discarded or reworked to eliminate the artifact.6.3.3 Other ScreensInternational Standard ISO 5579 con-tains similar provisions for intensifying screens as this practice.International users of these type screens who prefer the use of4Available fr

36、dentification requirements speci-fied in Practices E747, E1025,orE1742 shall be used.6.7 Shims and Separate BlocksShims or separate blocksmade of the same or radiographically similar materials (asdefined in Practice E1025) may be used to facilitate penetram-eter positioning. There is no restriction
37、on shim or separateblock thickness provided the penetrameter and area-of-interestdensity tolerance requirements of 9.7.6.2 are met.6.8 Radiographic Location and Identification MarkersLead numbers and letters are used to designate the part numberand location number. The size and thickness of the mark
38、ersshall depend on the ability of the radiographic technique toimage the markers on the radiograph. As a general rule,markers116-in. 1.5-mm thick will suffice for most low-energy(less than 1 MeV) X-ray and Iridium-192 radiography; forhigher-energy radiography it may be necessary to use markersthat a

Stepwedge comparison films or densitometer calibration, or both,shall be verified by comparison with a cal
