19、ewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a techn
20、ical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, 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
21、electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further 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. This document w

26、nts are described in the corresponding application standards); extension of applicable X-ray voltages from 500 kV up to max. 1 000 kV, depending on the penetrated wall thickness and material; modification of the nomogram of minimum source distances for focal spot sizes from 0,1 mm up to 8 mm; update

41、hen class A might be insufficiently sensitive.Better techniques compared with class B are possible and may be agreed between the contracting parties by specification of all appropriate test parameters.The choice of radiographic technique shall be agreed between the parties concerned.If, for technica
42、l or industrial reasons, it is not possible to meet one of the conditions specified for class B, such as the type of radiation source or the source-to-object distance, f, it may be agreed by contracting parties that the condition selected may be what is specified for class A. The loss of sensitivity
43、 shall be compensated by an increase of minimum density to 3,0 or by selection of a better film system class with a minimum density of 2,6. The other conditions for class B remain unchanged, especially the image quality achieved (see 5.7). Because of the better sensitivity compared to class A, the t
44、est specimen may be regarded as being examined to class B.2 ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 5579:2013ISO 5579:2013(E)5 General5.1 Personnel qualificationPersonnel performing non-destructive testing in accordance with this International Standard shall be qualified in accordance with ISO 9712 or
45、 equivalent to an appropriate level in the relevant industrial sector.5.2 Protection against ionizing radiationWARNING Exposure of any part of the human body to X-rays or gamma ray can be highly injurious to health. Wherever X-ray equipment or radioactive sources are in use, appropriate legal requir
46、ements must be applied.Local or national or international safety precautions when using ionizing radiation shall be strictly applied.5.3 Surface preparation and stage of manufactureIn general, surface preparation is not necessary, but where surface imperfections or coatings can cause difficulty in d
47、etecting defects, the surface shall be ground smooth or the coatings shall be removed.Unless otherwise specified, radiography shall be carried out after the final stage of manufacture, e.g. after grinding or heat treatment.5.4 Identification of radiographsSymbols shall be affixed to each section of
48、the object being radiographed. The images of these symbols shall appear in the radiograph outside the region of interest where possible and shall ensure unambiguous identification of the section.5.5 MarkingPermanent markings on the object to be examined shall be made in order to accurately locate th
49、e position of each radiograph.Where the nature of the material and/or its service conditions do not permit permanent marking, the location may be recorded by means of accurate sketches or photographs.5.6 Overlap of filmsWhen radiographing an area with two or more separate films, the films shall overlap sufficiently to ensure that the complete region of interest is radiographed. This shall be verified by a high-density marker on the surface of the object which will appear on each film.5.7 Image quali
