ASTM C 1269 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Adjusting the Operational Sensitivity Setting of In-Plant Walk-Through Metal Detectors
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Dec 10, 1997
Scope:
This practice covers a procedure for adjusting the operational
sensitivity of in-plant walk-through
metal detectors. Performance of this procedure should result with
in-plant walk-through metal
detectors being adjusted to an initial operational sensitivity setting
suitable for performance
testing.
This practice does not set test object specifications or specify
specific test objects. These
should be specified by the regulatory authority.
This practice uses information developed by Practice C 1270, or an
equivalent procedure, which
identifies the critical test object (from a specified set of test
objects), its critical
orientation, and the critical test path through the detection zone. In
the case of Practice C 1270,
the information is found on the detection sensitivity map(s) for each
in-plant walk-through metal
detector.
This practice is one of several developed to assist operators of
nuclear facilities with meeting
the metal detection performance requirements of the regulatory
authorities (see Appendix).
This standard practice is neither intended to set performance levels
nor limit or constrain
technologies.
This practice does not address safety or operational issues associated
with the use of walk-through
metal detectors.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standards. The
values given in parentheses are
for information only.
