This standard is issued under the fixed designation E ; the number 1 These reference radiographs are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee. E-7 on. ASTM Epdf – Download as PDF File .pdf), Text File .txt) or read online. reasonable ASTM shrinkage x-ray levels were determined for each x-ray. These radiographs are included in ASTM standard E for castings up to 2 inches.

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.

E Reference Radiographs for Heavy-Walled to 12 in. ICS Number Code Reference radiographs previously used for this thickness range carried the designation E71, but included a now rarely used gamma source, that is, astk. Reference Radiograph standards E and E provide some overlap of severity levels for similar discontinuity categories within the same energy level range see 4.

If performing digital radiography of steel castings up to 2 in. Link to Active This link will always route to the current Active version of the standard. Current edition approved Jan. Following is a list of discontinuity d446, types and severity levels for the adjunct reference radiographs of this standard: The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

This standard is not included in any packages.

Reference radiographs for thicker sections may be found in Reference Radiograph standards E and E If performing digital radiography of steel castings up to 2 in.

Reference radiographs previously used for this thickness range carried the designation E71but included a now rarely used gamma source, that is, radium. Reference radiographs for thicker sections may be found in Reference Radiograph standards E and E The reference radiographs consist of the following: The document may be used, where there is no other applicable document, for other energy levels or thicknesses, or both, for which it is found to be applicable and for which agreement has been reached between purchaser and manufacturer.

Although Category G-Mottling is listed for all three volumes, the appearance ashm mottling is dependent on astm e level of radiation energy.

NOTE 3—The reference radiographs consist of the following: The basis of application for these reference radiographs requires a prior purchaser supplier agreement of radiographic examination attributes and classification criterion as described in Sections 46and 7 of this standard.

ICS Number Code The current document is also astm e by inclusion of several recognized shrinkage or C categories and by elimination of the crack and hot tear categories except for one example of each of these discontinuity types.

ASTM E – 98 Standard Reference Radiographs for Steel Castings Up to 2 in. (51 mm) in Thickness

Therefore, for a given specimen, any change in this orientation will awtm the diffraction pattern dramatically. Severity levels of similar discontinuity categories and energy level range of E reference radiographs may alternatively be used, as determined appropriate for the casting service application, if ast, agreed upon in the purchaser supplier agreement asfm Note 2 and 5. NOTE 6—Mottling is often associated with thin sections of austenitic steels, and copper base alloys such as copper nickel, tin bronzes, and nickel copper.

Your comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the responsible technical committee, which you may attend. I medium voltage nominal kV X rays. When doubt exists whether such indications are cracks or tears, or are linear shrinkage, all surfaces in the area of interest shall be ground and magnetic particle or liquid penetrant inspected as applicable.

Following is a list of discontinuity categories, types and severity levels for the adjunct reference radiographs of this standard:.

If it is necessary or desirable to eliminate the mottling, the kV may be raised to reduce the amount of diffraction radiation. If diffraction mottling is demonstrated to be present on a radiograph, this condition shall not be considered as prejudicial in evaluating the radiograph.

NOTE 2—Reference radiographs previously used for this thickness range carried the designation E71, but included a now rarely used gamma source, that is, radium. I medium voltage nominal kV Wstm.

The basis of application for these reference radiographs requires a prior purchaser supplier agreement of radiographic examination attributes and classification criterion as described in Sections 46and 7 of this standard.

Active view current version of standard. These reference radiographs are intended as a basis from which manufacturers and purchasers may, by mutual agreement, select particular discontinuity classes to serve as standards atm minimum levels of acceptability see Sections 6 and 7.

At the same astm e, the standards so established may be unambiguously identified by alphabetic defect category or type designation and severity level. SI values are shown for information only. Severity levels of similar discontinuity categories and energy level range of E reference radiographs may alternatively be used, as determined appropriate for the casting service application, if so agreed upon in the purchaser supplier agreement see Note 2 and 5.
