This Part of EN 10246 is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter greater than 10 mm, and with an outside diameter-to-thickness ratio equal to or greater than five. For tubes with an outside diameter-to-thickness ratio less than five, one of the options specified in Annex B shall be used by agreement between purchaser and manufacturer. European Standard EN 10246 Non-destructive testing of steel tubes comprises the Parts shown in Annex A. 2 General requirements 2.1 The ultrasonic inspection covered by this Part of EN 10246 is usually carried out on tubes after completion of all the primary production process operations. This inspection shall be carried out by suitably trained, qualified and competent NDT personnel approved by the manufacturer. 2.2 The tubes to be tested shall be sufficiently straight to ensure the validity of the test. The surfaces shall be sufficiently free from foreign matter which would interfere with the validity of the test. 3 Method of test 3.1 The tubes shall be tested using an ultrasonic shear wave technique for the detection of predominantly longitudinal imperfections. 3.2 During testing, the tubes and the transducer assembly shall be moved relative to each other so that the whole of the tube surface is scanned. The chosen relative speed of movement during testing shall not vary by more than ± 10 %. NOTEIt is recognized that there may be a short length at both tube ends which cannot be tested. Any untested ends shall be dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate product standards (see also Annex C). 3.3 During testing, the tubes shall be scanned in two opposing circumferential directions of beam travel, unless otherwise agreed between purchaser and manufacturer. 3.4 The ultrasonic test frequency to be applied shall be in the range of 1 MHz to 15 MHz dependent upon the thickness and surface finish of the tube to be tested. 3.5 The maximum width of each individual transducer, measured parallel to the major axis of the tube, shall be 25 mm. For U1 and U2 category tubes with an outside diameter equal to or less than 50 mm, the width of any one transducer is normally restricted to a maximum of 12,5 mm (see also 5.3). 3.6 The equipment shall be capable of classifying tubes as either acceptable or suspect by means of an automatic trigger/alarm combined with a marking and/or sorting system. 3.7 Where manual ultrasonic testing of untested tube ends and/or local suspect areas is required, this shall be carried out in accordance with Annex C. 4 Reference standards 4.1 The reference standards defined in this Part of EN 10246 are convenient standards for the calibration of non-destructive testing equipment. The dimensions of these standards should not be construed as the minimum size of imperfection detectable by such equipment. 4.2 The ultrasonic equipment shall be calibrated using a longitudinal reference notch on the outside and inside surfaces, or the outside surface only of a tubular test piece. The internal notch shall not be used when the tube internal diameter is less than 20 mm, unless otherwise agreed between purchaser and manufacturer. 4.3 The test piece shall have the same specified diameter, thickness, surface finish and heat treated condition as the tube to be tested, and shall have similar acoustic properties (for example velocity, attenuation coefficient, etc). 4.4 The external and internal notches shall be sufficiently separated from the extremities of the test piece and from each other (when both are used), so that clearly distinguishable signal indications are obtained. 4.5 The reference notch or notches shall lie parallel to the major axis of the test piece. The reference notch or notches shall be of the “N” type except that the “V” type notch may be used at the discretion of the manufacturer when the specified notch depth is less than or equal to 0,5 mm (see Figure 1). In the case of the “N” type notch, the sides shall be nominally parallel and the bottom shall be nominally square to the sides. EN 10246-7:1996 4 © BSI 02-1999 4.6 The reference notch shall be formed by machining, spark erosion or other methods. NOTEIt is recognized that the bottom or the bottom corners of the notch may be rounded. 5 Dimensions of reference notches The dimensions of the reference notches shall be as follows: 5.1 Width, w (see Figure 1). The width of the reference notch shall be 1,0 mm max. 5.2 Depth, d (see Figure 1). 5.2.1 Reference notch depth. The reference notch depth shall be as given in Table 1. Table 1 Acceptance level designation and corresponding reference notch depth 5.2.2 Minimum notch depth The minimum notch depth is related to the type of tube used for a particular application and is denoted by a sub-category as given in Table 2, unless otherwise agreed between purchaser and manufacturer. Table 2 Minimum notch depth categories 5.2.3 Maximum notch depth The maximum notch depth for all acceptance levels and sub-categories shall be 1,5 mm, with exception that in the case of tubes with a thickness in excess of 50 mm, the maximum notch depth, may be extended to 3,0 mm unless otherwise agreed. 5.3 Tolerance on depth The tolerance on depth shall be ± 15 % of reference notch depth or ± 0,05 mm, whichever is the larger, with the exception that when the notch depth is less than 0,2 mm, the tolerance on the depth shall be ± 0,03 mm. Figure 1 Reference notch forms Acceptance levelNotch depth in % of the specified thickness (see note 1) U1 (see note 2)3 U2 (see note 3)5 U310 U412,5 U515 U620 NOTE 1The values of notch depth specified in this table are the same, for the corresponding categories, in all European Standards concerning non-destructive testing of steel tubes where reference is made to different acceptance levels. It should, however, be kept in mind that although the reference standards are identical, the various test methods involved can give different test results. Accordingly the acceptance level designation prefix U (ultrasonic) has been adopted to avoid any inferred direct equivalence with other test methods. NOTE 2Acceptance level U1 is not applicable to welded tubes. NOTE 3For welded tubes, acceptance level U2 can be used as an alternative to or in combination with U3 by agreement between purchaser and manufacturer. Sub-categoryMinimum notch depth Typical tube condition A0,1 mmCold-finished and machined tubes B0,2 mm C0,3 mmAll other conditions D0,5 mm NOTE 1The minimum notch depth that can be used is related to specific tube manufacturing methods where the surface finish plays a dominant role in the minimum notch depth that can be adopted for ultrasonic equipment calibration in order to achieve an acceptable signal/noise ratio. NOTE 2Sub-categories A and B do not apply to welded tubes. EN 10246-7:1996 © BSI 02-19995 5.4 Length The length of the reference notch or notches shall be at least twice the width of the transducers, with the following exception: for U1 and U2 category tubes with an outside diameter less than or equal to 50 mm and where the width of any one transducer exceeds 12,5 mm, the length of the reference notch or notches shall not exceed 12,5 mm (at full depth). 5.5 Verification The reference notch dimensions and shape shall be verified by a suitable technique. 6 Equipment calibration and checking 6.1 The equipment shall be adjusted to consistently produce, (for example, from three consecutive passes of the test piece through the equipment), clearly identifiable signals from both the external and internal reference notches or from the external reference notch when this alone is used (see 4.2). These signals shall be used to set the trigger/alarm level(s) of the equipment. Where a single trigger/alarm level is used, the transducer(s) shall be adjusted so that the signals from the internal and external reference notches are as near equal as possible and the full amplitude of the lesser of the two signals shall be used to set the trigger/alarm level o
