(R1) PROCEDURE FOR INSPECTION OF

IMAGE QUALITY INDICATOR
1.0 SCOPE :

1.1 This procedure describes the Initial and Periodic Inspection requirements of
Image Quality Indicator as per ASME Section V of SE – 747 and SE - 1025
used in Radiography.

2.0 INITIAL INSPECTION OF IQIS :

2.1 Wire Type IQI :

A certificate conforming the wire diameter and IQI material type will be
obtained from the manufacturer and retained.
The diametrical tolerance shall be as follows

DIMENSIONS IN INCHES DIMENSIONS IN mm

Wire diameter Tolerance Wire diameter Tolerance

0.000 < d  0.005 ± 0.0001 0.000 < d  0.125 ± 0.0025

0.005 < d  0.010 ± 0.0002 0.125 < d  0.250 ± 0.0050
0.010 < d  0.020 ± 0.0004 0.250 < d  0.500 ± 0.0100
0.020 < d  0.063 ± 0.0008 0.500 < d  1.600 ± 0.0200
0.063 < d  0.160 ± 0.0012 1.600 < d  4.000 ± 0.0300
0.160 < d  0.320 ± 0.0020 4.000 < d  8.000 ± 0.0500

2.2 Hole Type IQIs :

(R1) A certificate conforming the hole diameter, IQI thickness and IQI material
type will be obtained from the manufacturer and retained.
The tolerance on IQI thickness shall be as follows

IQI NO. TOLERANCE (inches)

5 - 20 ± 0.0005
21 - 50 ± 0.0025
Over 50 - 160 ± 0.005
Over 160 ± 0.010
2.3 IQI shall be inspected for identification lead numbers regarding the material
thickness.

3.0 PERIODIC INSPECTION OF IQIS :

(R1) Inspection of IQIs shall be performed visually once in a year.

IQIs shall be checked daily for undue wear and tear, no records are required to
be maintained for such visual inspection. Damaged IQI shall be discarded from
usage.

4.0 DOCUMENTATION :

On all inspected hole type IQIs, serial numbers shall be permanently engraved
or itched on its back. On all the inspected wire type IQIs serial numbers shall
be written with a permanent marker. Date of inspection or re-inspection of
these IQIs along with its validity shall be documented along with the records
attesting to the conformance of the material type grouping.
