The work of preparing International St
21、andards 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-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also
22、 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 further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In
23、 particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements
24、 of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

29、ints in metallic materials of thickness 8 mm which exhibit low ultrasonic attenuation (especially that due to scatter) at object temperatures from 0 C to 60 C. It is primarily intended for use on full penetration welded joints where both the welded and parent material are ferritic.Where material-dep
30、endent ultrasonic values are specified in this document, they are based on steels having an ultrasonic sound velocity of (5 920 50) m/s for longitudinal waves and (3 255 30) m/s for transverse waves.This document specifies four testing levels, each corresponding to a different probability of detecti
31、on of imperfections. Guidance on the selection of testing levels A, B, and C is given in Annex A.This document specifies that the requirements of testing level D, which is intended for special applications, be in accordance with general requirements. Testing level D can only be used when defined by
32、specification. This includes tests of metals other than ferritic steel, tests on partial penetration welds, tests with automated equipment, and tests at object temperatures outside the range 0 C to 60 C.This document can be used for the assessment of discontinuities, for acceptance purposes, by eith
33、er of the following techniques:a) evaluation based primarily on length and echo amplitude of the discontinuity;b) evaluation based on characterization and sizing of the discontinuity by probe movement techniques.2 Normative referencesThe following documents are referred to in the text in such a way

43、dard criteria, for the most commonly used welded joints at object temperatures in the range 0 C to 60 C. The specific requirements of this document cover the test equipment, preparation, performance of testing, and reporting. The parameters specified, in particular those for the probes, are compatib
