Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizati
20、ons, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its furthe
21、r maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted.

26、ex-plane analysis1 ScopeThis International Standard defines eddy current testing techniques for detection of surface breaking and near surface planar discontinuities, mainly in ferritic materials (weld material, heat-affected zones, base material).Eddy current testing can also be specified for use w
27、ith non-ferritic materials, for example in an application standard.The techniques can be applied to coated and uncoated objects during fabrication and in service, both onshore and offshore.Eddy current testing can be carried out on all accessible surfaces and on welds of almost any configuration.Unl
28、ess otherwise specified at specific items in this International Standard, the general principles of ISO 15549 apply.NOTE Eddy current testing is usually performed in the as-welded condition. However, the accuracy of the results can be affected by very rough surface finishes.2 Normative referencesThe
29、 following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

It is recommended that personnel are qualified in accordance with ISO 9712 or an equivalent standard at
33、an appropriate level in the relevant industry sector.

Otherwise, the procedures detailed in this International Standard shall
34、 be followed.6 General applications6.1 Essential variablesPrior to eddy current testing, the following essential items shall be specified in accordance with ISO 15549: certification of testing personnel; testing plan; testing equipment; calibration of the equipment; calibration blocks; acceptance cr
35、iteria; recording of indications; reporting format; actions necessary for non-acceptable indications.6.2 Additional informationPrior to eddy current testing, the following information should be specified. Further information may be necessary for determination of the nature of the discontinuities and
36、 the composition or grade of the base material: type of filler metal; location and extent of welds to be tested; weld surface geometry; surface conditions; coating type and thickness.6.3 Surface conditionsEddy current testing can be used to detect surface cracks through non-metallic coatings up to a
37、 thickness of 2 mm. For coating thicknesses greater than 2 mm, the sensitivity of the test method shall be demonstrated in advance before eddy current testing is used.NOTE 1 Eddy current testing is dependent on close contact between the probe and the test surface. For effective eddy current testing
38、of welds, it should be noted that local adverse weld form, excessive weld spatter, scale, rust and loose paint can influence sensitivity by separating the probe from the test object and by inducing noisy responses.NOTE 2 It should be noted that some types of conductive coating, such as thermally spr
39、ayed aluminium and lead, can seriously influence the results as they can deposit electrically conductive metallic material in cracks open to the surface. Cracks covered with such a metallic deposit are not always indicated by this method.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 17643:2015ISO 17643:20
