At “SHAHSONS” Re-BABBITTING is performed in accordance with following

standards:

Plain Bearings – Metallic multilayer plain bearings- ISO 4386-1

Part-1 Non destructive ultrasonic testing of bond
Plain Bearings – Metallic multilayer plain bearings- ISO 4386-3
Part-3 Non destructive penetrant testing
Standard specification for white metal bearing alloy ASTM B23

ISO 4386-1 specifies ultrasonic testing method for determining bond defects
between bearing metal and the backing.

ISO 4386-3 specifies non-destructive penetrant testing for determining bond

defects and discontinuities in the sliding surface of the bearing.

ASTM B23 Grade-2 is similar to HOYT R11 Material.
