20、d consequently have the ISO number at the European level. However, the Vienna agreement was applied during the work, so some European Standards have referenced them under their previous European number. The following table gives the correspondance between these different numbers. 1 Scope This Europe
21、an standard specifies the characteristics of equipment used in penetrant testing. The characteristics of equipment required for carrying out penetrant testing depend on the number of tests to be made and on the size of the components to be tested. Two types of equipment are included in this standard
22、: a) equipment suitable for carrying out in situ penetrant testing techniques; b) fixed installations. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the t
23、ext and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies

30、he complete process. In addition, these materials shall not cause any modification to the properties of the penetrant systems used. Penetrant installations shall be located in an area where there is no possibility of contamination of the working solutions from external sources, e.g.leaks from overhe
31、ad steam pipes. In addition penetrant tanks should be fitted with lids which should be kept shut when the plant is not in use. Where plants are fitted with effluent treatment or water recirculating systems, the system shall be designed to ensure that any water discharged to waste meets local dischar
32、ge requirements. In addition the recycled water shall be of a quality suitable for rinsing components. Where extraction systems are fitted, e.g.with spray application of penetrant, they shall be designed such that the local health and safety requirements relevant to operational safety and local air
33、emission laws are fully met. All chemicals used in penetrant testing shall be stored in closed containers and storage shall meet relevant health and safety requirements. 5.2 Preparation and precleaning area Suitable equipment shall be used to carry out the preparation and precleaning requirements de
34、scribed in EN571-1. Degreasing areas shall be equipped to ensure degreasing of the components in accordance with preparation and precleaning requirements described in EN571-1 and if necessary shall include an area for cooling the components prior to the application of penetrant. The degreasing and c
35、ooling facilities shall be of adequate size to handle the flow of components. Vapour degreasers using halogenated hydrocarbons shall meet relevant air pollution requirements. 5.3 Penetrant application area Penetrant application areas shall have the facilities for applying penetrant by air assisted,
36、airless and/or electrostatic spraying, spray cans, brushing, flow-on techniques or immersion in a tank of penetrant liquid. The tanks used for all processed chemicals shall be installed with a proper retaining tray. Where fluorescent penetrants are applied by manual spraying equipment, a source of U
37、V-A should be provided for checking the surface to be tested for penetrant coverage. Where spray application is employed, suitable extraction facilities shall be provided. 5.4 Penetrant drain area Penetrant drain stations shall consist of a tray having a sloping base, arranged so that the penetrant
38、is collected in a separate container of the tank containing the penetrant. 5.5 Excess penetrant removal area 5.5.1 Immersion wash tank Immersion tanks shall comprise means for agitating the water or moving the components to be tested. The tank may be equipped with a tank for the overflow of a part o
39、f the contaminated water. The tank shall be equipped with means for controlling the water temperature.ENISO3452-4:1998 BSI 04-1999 5 5.5.2 Spray-wash areas Spray-wash stations shall comprise either manual or automatic spraying equipment. Manual spraying equipment shall be equipped with a water or ai
40、r/water spray gun capable of delivering a suitable spray at a pressure as low as possible and at a temperature not exceeding50 C. The pressure shall be measured as near as practicably possible to the spray nozzle without a valve between the meter and the nozzle. Where manual spraying equipment is em
41、ployed, a suitable source of illumination shall be provided to control the excess penetrant removal either white light for colour contrast penetrant or UV-A for fluorescent penetrant. Automatic spraying equipment shall meet the requirements for manual equipment. In addition the number, design and lo
42、cation of the nozzles shall be such that all test surfaces of the components are evenly rinsed. A suitable drain shall be provided where automatic spraying equipment is employed. Water retained in recesses shall be removed by suitable means. 5.5.3 Emulsifier area Emulsifier stations shall comprise t
43、he equipment given ina) andb), as appropriate to the process used. a) Where a hydrophilic emulsifier is to be applied by an immersion technique the station shall comprise a tank suitable to allow components to be immersed completely in the solution for a controlled time. Hydrophilic emulsifier may a
44、lso be applied using suitable equipment by foam or flow-on technique. b) A lipophilic emulsifier shall be applied by immersion only. The station shall comprise a tank which will allow complete immersion of components in a solution for a controlled time. This shall be followed by drainage. 5.6 Drying
45、 area If entrapped water is to be removed, appropriate equipment shall be used such as a suction system or means of rotating parts. To remove surface water appropriate equipment such as a warm air (maximum80 C) recirculating oven shall be used. To avoid condensation or oxidation of metals and to ens
