Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic testing - Sensitivity and range setting

ISO 16811:2012 specifies the general rules for setting the timebase range and sensitivity (i.e. gain adjustment) of a manually operated ultrasonic flaw detector with A-scan display in order that reproducible measurements may be made of the location and echo height of a reflector.ISO 16811:2012 is applicable to techniques employing a single contact probe with either a single or twin transducers, but excludes the immersion technique and techniques employing more than one probe.

Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic examination - Part 2 : sensitivity and range setting

Le présent document spécifie les règles générales de réglage de l'échelle de la base de temps et de la sensibilité (ou commande gain) d'un détecteur de défaut ultrasonore à commande manuelle à visualisation de type A. L'objectif est de pouvoir effectuer des mesurages reproductibles de la localisation et de la hauteur d'écho du réflecteur. La technique en immersion et les techniques utilisant plus d'un traducteur ne sont pas couvertes par le présent document.

Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic testing - Sensitivity and range setting

This document specifies the general rules for setting the time-base range and sensitivity (i.e. gain adjustment) of a manually operated ultrasonic instrument with A-scan display in order that reproducible determinations can be made of the location and echo height of a reflector. This document is applicable to contact techniques employing a single probe with either a single transducer or dual transducers. This document does not apply to the immersion technique and techniques employing more than one probe.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
