23、.6. Detail Requirements6.1 Written ProcedureIt shall be the responsibility of the NDT facility to develop a workable examination technique recordedas a written procedure that is capable of consistently producing the desired results and radiographic quality level. When requiredby contract or purchase
24、 order, the procedure shall be submitted to the cognizant engineering organization for approval. The writtenprocedure shall contain, as a minimum, the following information:6.1.1 A drawing, sketch, or photograph of the component showing the location of the film and IQI with respect to the radiations
25、ource for each exposure.6.1.2 The angle of the radiation beam in relation to the component, the source-to-film distance, and any blocking or masking,if used.6.1.3 Part zones, if applicable, should be included (see 6.2). This may be accomplished through drawings and tables or byreference to documents
26、 where such information is found.6.1.4 The nominal exposure for X-ray machines, the voltage, milliamps, time (or rads as applicable), and effective focal spotsize. For radioisotope sources, the isotope type, source strength (curies), exposure time, and source size.6.1.5 Film designation (for example
27、, brand, type, and processing parameters), intensifying screens (for example, type andthickness of screens), or filters (for example, filter material, thickness, and location) if used, film loading instructions, instructions(for example, when using multiple film exposure techniques), and the desired

30、covers the details common to a variety of components. All writtenprocedures shall be approved by an individual qualified and certified as a Level III for radiography in accordance with 5.1.1.6.2 Acceptance RequirementsWhen examination is performed in accordance with this practice, engineering drawin
31、gs,specifications, or other applicable documents shall indicate the criteria by which the components are judged acceptable. Complexcomponents may be divided into zones and separate criteria assigned to each zone in accordance with its design requirements.When used, direct references to ASTM referenc
32、e radiographic standards shall include the grade level for each type of discontinuitypermitted for each part or zone.NOTE 3Information on reference radiographs can be obtained from the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 03.03 or from ASTM Headquarters.6.3 Surface PreparationComponents may be examine
33、d without surface preparation or conditioning except as required toremove surface conditions that may interfere with proper interpretation of radiographs.6.3.1 Castings, forgings, and weldments may be radiographed in the as-cast, as-forged, or as-welded conditions provided thefollowing requirements

35、number, when multiple views are taken. Each radiograph shall also carry the identification of the NDT facility examining thecomponent and the date of the examination. Radiographs of a repair area shall be identified with R1, R2, R3, and so forth, indicatingthe number of times that repairs were attem
36、pted. Alternative schemes may be used for identification of repair radiographs so longas each film is clearly identified to relate to a particular repair area. For explosives and propellants, the conditioning temperatureshall be identified on each X-ray film if the ordnance has been conditioned to a
37、 temperature other than facility ambient for purposesof examination.6.5 Examination and CoverageThe number of parts examined, and the radiographic coverage of each part shall be as specifiedby drawings, radiographic techniques, radiographic manuals, handbooks for aircraft technical orders, or other
38、specifications, asapplicable. Areas to be examined shall be identified on the drawing by using the symbols in accordance with ANSI/AWSAWS A2.4or other systems of designations that are easily identified on the drawing. If the number of parts to be examined and the amountof coverage of each part is no

44、nts (see 6.9 and 6.10), are achieved for the area of interest.6.9 Radiographic Quality LevelsThe five quality levels listed in Table 3 may be assigned on the basis of IQI thickness andthe perceptibility of one, two, or three holes in the hole-type IQI image on the radiograph. If the quality level is
45、 not specified onthe drawing or other applicable documents, it shall be Level 2-2T. Unless otherwise specified by the cognizant engineeringorganization, hole-type IQIs used for examination of material 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) or less in thickness shall be 0.005-in. (0.127-mm)minimum thickness.6.10 Film De
46、nsityFor single-film viewing, the film density shall be 1.5 in the area of interest. Where superimposed filmviewing is used, the film density of the superimposed films shall be from 2.0 in the area of interest, and each individual film shallnot have a film density below 1.0 in the area of interest.
47、Film densities above 4.0 are permitted when agreed upon between thecognizant engineering organization and the NDT facility (see Note 1 of Fig. 1). In no case shall the maximum film density exceed4.5. For single-film viewing, film densities less than 1.5 are permitted only when items not requiring an
48、 IQI (see 6.18) areexamined. The maximum readable film density depends on the film viewer used and its maximum luminance (see 6.27.4). Themaximum readable film density shall always be posted on the viewer.6.11 Processing RadiographsRadiographs shall be free from blemishes which may interfere with fi
49、lm interpretation.6.12 IQI SelectionThe IQI thickness shall be based on a thickness not greater than the nominal thickness to be radiographed.For double-wall exposures and double-wall viewing techniques, the IQI shall be based on the double-wall thickness of thecomponent. The IQI thicknesses that are in between, or smaller than, the thickness increments in Fig. A1.1 (for example, ahole-type IQI that is 0.0025 or 0.006 in. thick) may be used but are not mandatory. For double-wall exposures and single-wallviewing techniques, the IQI shall be based on the single-w
