Non-destructive testing - Characterization and verification of ultrasonic test equipment - Part 3 : combined equipment

This document specifies methods, tolerances and acceptance criteria for verifying the performance of combined ultrasonic test equipment (i.e. instrument, probes and cables connected) by the use of appropriate standard calibration blocks. These methods are specifically intended for manual test equipment, i.e. ultrasonic instruments according to ISO 22232-1, and for manual ultrasonic non-destructive testing with single- or dual-transducer probes according to ISO 22232-2. This document is also applicable for multi-channel instruments. For automated test equipment, different tests can be needed to ensure satisfactory performance. The specified methods are intended for the use by operators working under site or shop floor conditions. These methods are not intended to prove the suitability of the equipment for particular applications. This document excludes ultrasonic instruments for continuous waves. This document also excludes ultrasonic phased array systems, see e. g. ISO 18563-3. If a phased array instrument is used in combination with single- or dual-transducer probes, this document is applicable to this combination.

Non-destructive testing - Characterization and verification of ultrasonic examination equipment - Part 3 : combined equipment

Le présent document décrit les méthodes et les critères d'acceptation permettant de vérifier la performance d'un appareillage ultrasonore (c'est-à-dire : l'appareil combiné au traducteur comme défini dans l'EN 12668-1 et l'EN 12668-2) à l'aide de blocs d'étalonnage normalisés appropriés. Ces méthodes ne visent pas à établir l'aptitude à l'emploi de l'appareillage pour des applications particulières. Les méthodes décrites sont celles à utiliser par des opérateurs travaillant sur site ou en atelier. Elles ne s'appliquent qu'aux seuls instruments de contrôle par réflexion avec représentation de type A, commandes de gains ou dispositifs d'atténuation étalonnés par 2 dB maximum et qui sont essentiellement utilisés pour le contrôle par contact. Ces méthodes sont conçues spécifiquement pour l'appareillage utilisé pour le contrôle manuel. Pour le contrôle automatique, des essais différents peuvent être nécessaires pour garantir une performance satisfaisante.

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.
