Title
Standard Specification for Straight-Beam Ultrasonic Examination of Rolled Steel Plates for Special Applications
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2007
Scope:
This specification covers the procedure and acceptance standards
for straight-beam, pulse-echo, ultrasonic examination of rolled
carbon and alloy plain and clad steel plates, ? in. [10 mm] in
thickness and over, for special applications. The method will
detect internal discontinuities parallel to the rolled surfaces.
Three levels of acceptance standards are provided. Supplementary
requirements are provided for examination of clad plate and for
alternative procedures.
Individuals performing examinations in accordance with this
specification shall be qualified and certified in accordance with
the requirements of the latest edition of ASNT SNT-TC-1A or an
equivalent accepted standard. An equivalent standard is one which
covers the qualification and certification of ultrasonic
nondestructive examination candidates and which is acceptable to
the purchaser.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units
are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not
exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems
may result in nonconformance with the specification.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
* A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of
this standard.
