The quality level necessary in each case should be defined by the application standard or the responsible designer in conjunction with the manufacturer, user and/or other parties concerned. The level shall be prescribed belore the start of production, preferably at the inquiry or order stage. For special purposes, additional details may need to be prescribed. ‘The quality leveis given in this International Standard are intended to provide basic reference data and are not specifically related to any Particular application, They refer to the types of welded joints in a fab- ication and not to the complete product or component itself. It is poss- ible, therefore, for different quality levels to be applied to individual welded joints in the same product or component. Quality levels are listed in table0.1. Table 0.1 — Quality levels for weld imperfections totam | ‘Gustty ever Toserate © Imgermesiate 8 ‘Sringent ‘The three quality levels are arbitrarily identified as D, C and B and are intended to cover the majority of practical applications. It would normally be hoped that for a particular welded joint the dimen- sional limits for imperfections could all be covered by specifying one quality level. in some cases, however, e.g. for certain type of steels and structures as well as for fatigue loading or leak tightness applications, it may be necessary to specify different quality levels for different imperfections in the same welded joint or to include additional require- ments, The choice of quality level for any application should take account of design considerations, subsequent processing, e.g. surfacing, mode of stressing (e.g. static, dynamic), service conditions (e.g. temperature, environment), and consequences of failure. Economic factors are also important and should include not only the cost of welding but also that of inspection, test and repair. Although this international Standard includes types of imperfections relevant to the arc welding processes given in clause 1, only those which are applicable to the process and application in question need to be considered www.icndt net JJ Fc tit KW Bt 4 2 ay He BE MS BS 2A, Od FES TU Page 3 EN 25817 : 1992(ND www.icndt net JJ Fc tit KW Bt 4 2 ay He BE MS BS 2A, Od FES TU Page 4 EN 25877: 1992 Imperfections are quoted in terms of their actual dimensions, and their detection and evaluation may require the use of one or more methods of non-destructive testing. The detection and sizing of imperfections dependent on the inspection methods and the extent of testing specified in the application standard or contract. This International Standard does not include details of recommended methods of detection and sizing and, therefore, it needs to be sup- plemented by requirements for examination, inspection and testing. It should be appreciated that methods of non-destructive examination may not be able to give the detection, characterization and sizing necessary for use within certain types of imperfections shown in table 1. Although this International Standard covers a material thickness range of 3 mm to 63 mm, it may well be applicable to thicker or thinner joints provided consideration is given to those technical factors which may influence the situation. @€(CND 1 Scope This International Standard provides guidance on levels of imperfections in arc-welded joints in steel. Three levels are given in such a way as to permit application for a wide range of welded fabrications. The levels refer to production quality and not to the finess-for-purpose (see 3.1) of the product manu- factured, This international Standard applies to — unalloyed and alloyed steels; = the following welding processes and their de~ fined sub-processes in accordance with 1S 4063: 11. metal-arc welding without gas protection; 42. submerged-arc welding: 13. gas-shielded metai-arc welding; 14. gas-shielded welding with non-consum- able electrode: 15. plasma arc welding: manual, mechanized and autom: processes: all welding positions; butt welds, fillet welds and branch connections; materials in the thickness range 3mm to 63 mm, When significant deviations from the joint ge- cometries and dimensions described in this Inter- national Standard are present in the welded product, it is necessary to evaluate to what extent the pro- visions of this standard can apply. Metallurgical aspects, e.g. grain size, hardness, are not covered by this International Standard. www.icndt.net J Ji 7c 44 BWM Be ee Ay HE RESSS 2A, Ce Ae ie!

It may be used — where applicable — for other fusion welding processes or weld thicknesses, Different parts are very often produced for different applications but to similar requirements. The same requirements should, however, apply to identical parts produced in different workshops to ensure that, work is carried out using the same criteria. The consistent application of this International Standa is one of the fundamental cornerstones of a qualily assurance system for use in the production of welded structures. In table 4, figures for multiple imperfections (No. 26), show a theoretical possibility of superimposed indi- International Standard vidual imperfections. in such a case the total sum- mation of all permitted deviations should be restricted by the stipulated values for the different quality levels. However, the value of a single imperfection may exceed > h, e.g. for a single pore, This International Standard may be used in con- junction with 2 catalogue of realistic illustrations showing the size of the permissible imperfections for the various acceptance levels by means of photographs showing the face and root side and/or reproductions of radiographs and of photomacro- graphs showing the cross-section of the weld. This catalogue may be used with reference cards to as- sess the various imperfections and may be em- ployed when opinions differ as to the permissible size of imperfections.
