2、05 BSI 13 December 2005 ISBN 0 580 47080 6 National foreword This Draft for Development is the official English language version of CEN/TS 15053:2005. This publication is not to be regarded as a British Standard. It is being issued in the Draft for Development series of publications and is of a prov
3、isional nature because details for these types of test specimens have not previously been covered by formal standardization. It should be applied on this provisional basis, so that information and experience of its practical application may be obtained. Comments arising from the use of this Draft fo
4、r Development are requested so that UK experience can be reported to the European organization responsible for its conversion to a European standard. A review of this publication will be initiated 2 years after its publication by the European organization so that a decision can be taken on its statu
5、s at the end of its 3-year life. Notification of the start of the review period will be made in an announcement in the appropriate issue of Update Standards. According to the replies received by the end of the review period, the responsible BSI Committee will decide whether to support the conversion
6、 into a European Standard, to extend the life of the Technical Specification or to withdraw it. Comments should be sent in writing to the Secretary of BSI Technical Committee WEE/46, Non-destructive testing, at British Standards House, 389 Chiswick High Road, London W4 4AL, giving the document refer
7、ence and clause number and proposing, where possible, an appropriate revision of the text. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

39、tion test (radiographs) 8.1 Definition Radiographic interpretation test is constituted by radiographs (original or copy), exhibiting a sufficient range of artefacts material/structural anomalies and densities, to provide a realistic and unambiguous test of the ability of a radiographic interpreter t
40、o read, interpret and accurately report the results of radiographs. 8.2 Conditions Radiographs shall be in good condition for viewing (verified and attested before the beginning of each exam session, by one jury Level 3 RT who belongs to the board of examiners), and shall contain, as a minimum, one
41、indication and should contain not more than five different types of indications. The use of radiograph copies or digitally reproduced is not precluded if the quality of the copy is achieved in respect of density, contrast, definition and sensitivity. They have to meet the minimum requirements of the
42、 specification applied for the original radiographs. Radiographs may be of any size providing a suitable film viewer. Examination centres shall hold representative radiographs of the product sectors they are approved for. For In Service Inspection industrial sector, the range of radiographs shall in
43、clude those relevant of the two following product sectors: weldings (w) and castings (c). 8.3 Quality Radiographs shall be produced in accordance with the appropriate standard and also with respect to exposure parameters, resulting optical density and processing.
