Pages EN 1712: 1997 + At: 2002 1 Scope This European Standard specifies ultrasonic acceptance levels, 2 and 3, for full penetration weldad joints in ferritic steels, which correspond to quality levels B and C of EN 25817. Other acceptance levels can be used by specification. ‘An acceptance level corresponding to level D of EN 25817 has not been included in this standard 4s ultrasonic testing Is not recommended for this weld quality. ‘These acceptance levels are applicable to testing carried out In accordance with the standards referred to In EN 12062. They can, however, be applied in conjunction with other rules, where the same types of reterence reflectors for sensitivity setting are used, provided It Is agreed between the contracting parties. The standard Is applicable to the testing of full penetration ferritic steel welds, with thicknesses from 8 mm up to 100. mm. It can also be used for other types of welds, materials and thicknesses above 100 mm, provided the testings have been performed with necessary consideration of the geometry and acoustical properties of the component and an adequate sensitivity can be employed to enable the acceptance levels of this standard tobe applied. The nominal frequency of probes used in this European Standard Is between 2 MHz and § MHz unless attenuation or requirements for higher resolution call for another frequency. The use of these acceptance levels: |in conjunction with frequencies outside this range needs to bp considered carefully. 2 Normative references ‘This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the Publications are Keted herealter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

The setting of sensitivity may be performed by : Method 1: 3 mm diameter side drilled holes ; ~ Method 2: The distance gain size (DGS) system ; Method 3: If a probe angle 2 70° is used for the thickness range 8 mm 10 mm. Indications in the same lateral position (dy < 5 mm) shall be separated by a distance d, > 10 mm. Adjacent indications with smaller distances dy and-d, are not acceptable.
