Itis primarily intended for use on full penetration welded joints where both the welded and parent material are ferric Where material-dependent ultrasonic values are specified in this International Standard, thay are based on stee!s having an ultrasonic sound velocity of (5 920 : 50) mis for longitudinal waves and (3.255 30) mis for transverse waves. ‘This Intemational Standard specifies four testing levels, each corresponding to a different probabilly of 4 dB | Seting shat! be correc and all testing carried outwith the equipment over the previous period shall be| repeated 3 Increase in sensiiviy 408 [Setting shall be corrected and all recorded indications shall be re-examined Range 1 Deviations <2 % ofthe range | Seling shal be corrected betore testing is continued 2 Deviations > 2 % of the range | Seting shal be corrected and testing caried outwith the equipment over the previous period shal be repeated. 10.2 Reference for sensitivity setting (One ofthe following techniques for setting the reference shall be used. 8) Technique 4: the reference is a distance-amplitude curve (DAC) for side-iled holes of diameter 3 mm. b) Technique 2: the references for transverse and longitudinal waves using the distance gain size (DGS) system based on the diameter of the disk-shaped reflector (DSR) are given in Tables 3 and 4 respectively. ©) Technique 3: the reference notch shall be 1 mm wide, rectangular, with @ depth of 1 mm. This technique applies only forthe thickness range 8 mm << 15 mm and for beam angles > 70°. ) Technique 4: for the tandem technique, the reference is a flat bottomed hole of 6 mm diameter (for all thicknesses), perpendicular to the scanning surface. This technique is applicable only for beam angle 45° ‘and thickness ¢ > 15 mm. The length of the side-drilled holes and notches shall be greater than the width of the sound beam measured at -20 dB,DIN EN ISO 17640:2011-04 EN ISO 17640:2010 (E) Table 3 — Reference levels for acceptance levels 2 and 3 for technique 2 using angle beam scanning with transverse waves ‘Thickness of parent material, ‘Nominal probe frequency mm | wer >= fe) pl l= per): ] S| ence ea ee | eee eee tees] Ff | ama |e on et Ewe a eee a eee dana meta) ELE [etna ee etl ea eae eee | enya ec aay Stet get | arma efecto eel eee Pa ae eee sere (ea gee eee eee oy eee eee [ca Sra eee | anette ee eae eee eee a [eee Stel or | reece Ee ee eee eae elf nav cesta =o co co a sven | Sagat | mets | SS | snow | eit | “oaaa | Somes | “ate | Steg | imam | reo, ye zoquinu posnbay reo ye Joquinu poumbou mee? | ounce, Soap eome SR (Ly ain6i4 0} hex 998 ‘sjoquiXs 10)) sadid pue saieid uj swiofana — Vy eae (2) o40z:0921 OSI Na ‘YO-LL0z:0¥921 OS!
