Where material-clependent ultrasonic values are specified in this standard, they are based on steel having an Ultrasonic sound velocity of (5 920 + 50) m/s for longitudinal waves, and (3 255 + 30) ms for transverse waves. This is to bo taken into account when examining materials with a diferent velocity, The standard specifies four testing levels, each corresponding to a different probability of detection of imper- fections. Guidance on the selection of testing levels A, B and C is given in Annox A, The requirements of tha fourth testing level, which ig intended for use in special applications, shall be in accordance with the general requirements of this Standard and may only be usod when defined by specification. This standard inay be used for the assessment of indications, for asceptance purpases, by either of the following methods: 1) evaluation based primarily on length and echo amplitude of the signal indication; 2} evaluation based on characterization and sizing of the indication by prove mavement methods.

The requirements specified this standard cover the equipment, preps: ration. performance of the test and reporting, The parameters specified, in particular those for the probes. are ‘compatible with the requirements of EN 1712 and EN 1713, and are also euitable for use with other aceeptanes fritena standards, The techniques recarnmended inthis standard are sultabla for the detection of wel imper- fections a3 specified in typical weld acceptance standards. Methods 10 be used for ultrasonic assessment of indications ana acceptance criteria shall be detined by specication. Ifthe agreed acceptance criterlarequirea more precise determination of the height and nature of the detect (e.g, when fitness-for-purpose enteria are applied), this may necessitate the use of techniques or methads outside the scope of this standard. 5 Information required prior to tes! 5.1 Items to be specified — Motinod for setting the reference level = Method to be used for evaluation of indications = Acceptance levels = Testing level = Manufactusing and operation st = Qualification of personnel = Scope of testing for transverse indications — Requirements for tandem testing, ~ Parent metal testing prior to andor after welding = Whether or not a written test procedure is required Requirements for vritien test procedures .ge(s) al which the testing is to be cartied out 5.2.

Where this is not the case, or where the techniques described in this standard are not applicable to the welded Joint to be examined, additional written procedures shall be usod, if required by specification, 6 Requirements for personnel and equipment 6.1 Personnel qualifications Personnel carrying out testing in accordance with this standard shall be qualified to an appropriate level in accordance with EN 473 or equivalent in the rolovant industrial sector. Inadaition toa general knowledge of ultrasonic weld inspection, they shall also be familiar with testing problems specitically associated with the lype of woldod joints to be examined, 6.2 Equipment Any oquipment used in conjunction with this standard shall comply with the requirements of relevant European Slandards, Prior to the publication of EN Standard related to the subject, the corresponding national stand ards may be used. 6.3 Probe parameters 6.3.1 Frequency The frequency shall be within the 2 MHz to 5 MHz range and shall be selected to comply with the specified acceptance levels. For initial testing, the frequency shall be as low as possible, within the above range, when the evaluation is carriad out arcording to acceptance levels based on length and amplitude (e.g. EN 1712). Higher frequencies may be used to improve range resolution f this is necessary whon using standards for acceptance levels based tn the characterization of imperfections (e.g. EN 1713) Frequencies of approximately 1 MHz inay ba used for testing at long Sound paths where the material shows above average attenuation, 6.32 Angles of incidence When testing is carried aut with transverse waves and techniques that require the ultrasonic beam to be raflacted from an opposite surface, caro shall be taken to ensire that the incident angle of the beam, with the ‘opposite reflecting surface, isnot ess than 35° and proferably net greater than 70°, Where mere than one probe angles used, at least one of the angle probes used shail conior™m with this requirement. One of the probe angles used shail ensure thatthe weld fusion faces are examined at, or as near as possible to, normal incienice, When the use of two or more probe angles s specilied, the dilference botiwoen the nominal beam angles shall be 10" or greater, ‘Anglas of incidence atthe probe and opposite reflecting surface, when curved, may be determined by arewving «ssectiotial viow of the wld or in accerdance with the methods given in EN 583-2. Where anglas of meidence Cannot be determined as specified by this standard, the test report shall include a comprehensive description Gf the scans used and tho extent ef any incomplete coverage caused together with an explanation of the dificultios encountered 6.3.3.

In all. casos, scanning shall cover the whole testing volume. If individual sections of this volume cannot be ‘covered in at least one scanning direction, orf the angles of incidance with the opposite surface do not mest therequirements specified in6.3.2, altemnalive.r supplementary ultrasonic techniques or other non-destructive methods shall be agread upon. This may, in some cases, require removal of any excess weld metal Supplementary methods may require testing using twin crystal angle beam probes, creeping wave probes, further ultrasonic techniques or any ether suitable method (e.g, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, radio. uraphic testing). In selecting allernative or supplementary methods, due consideration shauld be given to the typo of weld and probable orientation of any imperfections to be detactod, 8 Preparation of scanning surfaces Scanning surtaces shall be wicle enauigh to permit the testing valume (see figure 1) to be fully covered. Alter- natively the width of the scanning surfaces may be smaller if equivalent coverage of the testing volume can be achieved by scanning from both the upper and the lower surface of the joint. Scanning surfaces shall be even and free trom foreign matter likely to interfore with probe coupling (0.9. rust. loose scale, weld spalier, notchos, grooves). Waviness of the test surface shall not result in a gap: between the probe and test surfacas greater than 0,6 mm. These reauiroments shall be ensured by dressing if necessary. Local variations in surface contour (e.g. along the edge of the weld), which result in a gap beneath the probe of up to 1 mm, 1s only permitted if atleast one additional probe angle is employed from the affected side al the wold. This additional scanning is necessary to compensate for the reduced weld coverage that will occur with 2B gap of this dimension. In all cases, the maximum permitted gap on areas of the test surface from which the evaluation of indications is to be carried out shall be 0,5 mm. Scanning surfaces and surlaces fram which the sound beam is reflected nay be assumed to be satisfactory if the surface roughness, K., is not greater than 6,3 ym for machined surfaces, or not greater than 12,5 unt for shotblasted surface. 9 Parent metal testing The parent metal, in the scanning zone ares, shall be examined with straight beam prabes prior to or after ‘welding, unless it can be demonstrated (¢.a. by testing during the fabrication process) that the angle probe testing of the weld will nat be influenced by the presence af the imperfections or high attenuation ‘Where imperfections are found their influence on the proposed angle beam testing shall be assessed and, if necessary, the techniques adjusted correspondingly. When satistactory coverage by ultrasonic testing is Se riously affected, by agreement, ather inspection methods (e.g. radiography) may need 16 be considered,z 5 z § i s : Page 7 EN 1714: 1907 + A1;2002 Pos.3 “ yee Lie ne ® 1.

Signal-to-noise ratio During testing of the weld the noise level excluding spurious surtace indications shall remain at least 12 dB bolowr the evaluation lovel. This requirement may be mado less stringent subject to specification. 11 Testing levels ‘Quality requirements for walded joints aro mainly associated with the material, welding process and service Conditions. To accommodate al of these requirements this standard specifies four testing levels (A, 8, Cand D) From testing lavel & to testing feval G an increasing probability of detection will be achieved by an inereasing test coverage (0.9. number of scans, surface dressing), Testing level D may be agreed for special application Using a written procedure which shall take into account the general requirements of this standard.
