SNV SN EN ISO 23278: Non-destructive testing of welds - Magnetic particle testing of welds - Acceptance levels

Publication Date: Apr 1, 2010
SDO: SNV: Schweizerische Normen-Vereinigung
 DOD Adopted   ANSI Approved Approved

This International Standard specifies acceptance levels for indications from imperfections in ferromagnetic steel welds detected by magnetic particle testing.

The acceptance levels are primarily intended for use during manufacture examination, but where appropriate they can be used for in-service inspection.

The acceptance levels in this International Standard are based on detection capabilities that can be expected when using techniques specified in ISO 17638 and parameters recommended in Annex A. The acceptance levels can be related to welding standards, application standards, specifications or codes. Such a relationship is shown in ISO 17635 for ISO 5817.
