T
15、he work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. 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 organizations, governmental and non-go
16、vernmental, 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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
17、 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a v
18、ote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 34526 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee C
19、EN/TC 138, Non-destructive testing, in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 135, Non-destructive testing, Subcommittee SC 2, Surface methods, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). ISO 3452 consists of the following parts, under the
20、 general title Non-destructive testing Penetrant testing: Part 1: General principles Part 2: Testing of penetrant materials Part 3: Reference test blocks Part 4: Equipment Part 5: Penetrant testing at temperatures higher than 50 C Part 6: Penetrant testing at temperatures lower than 10 C BS EN ISO 3
21、452-6:2008ISO 3452-6:2008(E) iv ISO 2008 All rights reservedIntroduction Temperatures lower than 10 C can affect the properties of penetrant test materials. The use of penetrant materials and the testing of penetrant materials within the temperature range 10 C to 50 C are the subject of EN 571-1 and
22、 ISO 3452-2. This part of ISO 3452 addresses materials and their use at lower temperatures than 10 C. This part of ISO 3452 introduces the concept of process times being linked to working temperatures and accordingly users are recommended to ensure that testing products are correctly associated with
23、 process parameters in written instructions (procedures). Testing products may be specifically developed and qualified for low temperature use but testing products qualified for use at normal temperatures, in some cases, may also be suitable for lower temperature use.

25、l as the method for qualification of suitable testing products. It applies only to materials qualified for the relevant temperature range used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this do
26、cument. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

28、nciples of ISO 3452-1 shall apply unless otherwise stated in this part of ISO 3452 or in the manufacturers instructions. Qualification tests are carried out by the manufacturer and if products are used within the stated range, no further tests are needed on site. 3.2 Technical principles Depending o
29、n the temperature range, some specific problems might be encountered: a) moisture, or even ice, on the test object; b) lower evaporation rate of solvents and of non-aqueous wet developers than at higher temperatures; c) when spray cans are used, pressure and spray quality may be affected; d) some pe
30、netrants may precipitate in such a case tests shall be carried out within the standard temperature range (10 C to 50 C) if the penetrants are to be used in this standard temperature range. BS EN ISO 3452-6:2008ISO 3452-6:2008(E) 2 ISO 2008 All rights reserved3.3 Safety precautions All relevant Europ
31、ean, national and local regulations pertaining to health and safety, environmental requirements etc. shall be observed. Depending on the temperature range, some specific rules shall be enforced: a) when heaters are used (either to warm up the test object, materials or the work environment), precauti
32、ons shall be taken not to have vapours or spray of materials in contact with flames or hot surfaces; b) users shall wear clothes and gloves able to protect them from contact with very low temperature parts. Gloves used shall allow for applying materials without impairing the test; c) in very low tem
33、perature environment, some pieces of equipment (pens, cameras, etc.) may not properly work. Action shall be taken, either to keep them at an acceptable temperature until use (for instance by keeping them under clothing, close to the users body) or by using equipment capable of functioning in such an
34、 environment. 3.4 Reference blocks/test panels Care shall be taken while using reference block/test panels. It could be tempting to put these panels in a freezer, and to take them out when they have reached the targeted temperature for materials testing. Doing so places cold parts in contact with a
35、warmer atmosphere, causing moisture to condense on these parts and the temperature to rise very quickly. Therefore, tests shall be carried out in “real conditions”: parts, users and testing materials are either outside or in a “climatic room” in which the temperature and humidity is capable of dupli
36、cating real conditions. 3.5 Viscosity and penetrant testing If it is the case that the lower the temperature, the higher the liquid or gas viscosity, then note that higher viscosity is not a drawback to penetrant testing. Capillary effect is far more powerful than the effect of the viscosity very vi
37、scous, even jellified penetrants, can lead to very good crack detection. 3.6 Personnel qualification Personnel carrying out testing in accordance with this part of ISO 3452 shall be suitably certified (see e.g. ISO 9712, EN 473). They shall also be knowledgeable of the special considerations for tes
38、ting at lower temperatures (e.g. time limitations for inspection, special considerations of materials). 4 Low temperature penetrant testing process 4.1 General rules The following rules apply: a) surface and discontinuities shall be free of any contaminant, even those stemming from the surface prepa
39、ration; b) penetrant is applied on the part as per the most convenient means; c) when dwell time has elapsed, excess of penetrant will be wiped from the surface with clean, lint-free rags or cloths and a penetrant remover according to the manufacturers recommendation (water should be avoided due to
40、low temperatures); BS EN ISO 3452-6:2008ISO 3452-6:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 3d) low temperature penetrant testing generally is not carried out in installations. A non-aqueous wet (solvent-based) developer will then be sprayed on the test object. In low temperature conditions, solvents ev
41、aporate far slower than usual. Therefore, care shall be taken that the solvent evaporation time be short enough so as to get accurate indications; e) viewing conditions shall comply with the requirements of ISO 3059. 4.2 Special requirements 4.2.1 Surface preparation Within the +10 C to 5 C range, t
42、he main trouble comes from water, either as liquid (moisture), frost or even ice. Water is detrimental to the process. To get rid of it: a) gently warm the surface for several minutes to make water evaporate from discontinuities; and/or b) use a volatile, water soluble solvent, such as acetone or is
43、opropyl alcohol (generally degreasers used before penetrant applications are hydrocarbon-based and do not in any way remove water); c) allow some minutes for evaporation, ensuring evaporation does not cool down the surface of the part enough to have water condensing on it again. When the temperature
44、 is lower than 5 C, check that there is no frost or ice. Any frost or ice shall be removed. 4.2.2 Penetrant application/dwell time Penetrant may be sprayed from a spray can, provided pressure is sufficient. Any other convenient means of application may be used. It is recommended to let the penetrant
45、 act twice as long as for 10 C to 50 C range, as water is generally not completely removed from the discontinuities and can make it more difficult for the penetrant to enter. 4.2.3 Excess penetrant removal Even if a water washable penetrant has been applied, the use of lint free cloth or wipes and a
46、 volatile penetrant remover according to the manufacturers recommendation is a better choice than water. First wipe as much penetrant as possible with clean lint free cloth or wipes. Then use lint free cloth or wipes lightly moistened with the solvent to remove the remaining penetrant. As a final st
47、ep, use dry lint free cloth or wipes to take out the traces of penetrant/solvent. Allow some minutes for solvent evaporation. 4.2.4 Developer application Non-aqueous wet (solvent-based) developer is most suitable. As it shall be sprayed, the most convenient means is a spray can. The spray can shall
48、be kept at 10 C minimum to ensure an effective spray giving a thin, even layer. The solvent shall evaporate within maximum 3 min. Otherwise, indications could become dim, leading to difficulty in interpretation. BS EN ISO 3452-6:2008ISO 3452-6:2008(E) 4 ISO 2008 All rights reservedSolvent evaporatio
49、n may be sped up by a gentle flow of warm air (not by an infrared heater) to meet this requirement. Developing time should be increased by a factor of two, depending on previous tests. 4.2.5 Viewing The viewing conditions shall comply with the requirements of ISO 3059. 5 Testing of low temperature penetrant testing materials 5.1 Preliminary notice Many penetrants and developers used at 10C to 50C temperature range may be used at low temperatures.
