Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions of terms used in this standardmay be found in Terminology E 1316, Section D.3.2 The terms relating to discontinuities present
11、in thesereference radiographs are described based upon radiographicappearance. The terms “darker” and “lighter” as used in thisstandard refer to the optical density of a radiographic film.Where other radiographic imaging media are used, these termsshould be understood to refer to areas of greater or
12、 lesserradiologic transmission, respectively.3.2.1 Gas:3.2.1.1 gas holesround or elongated, smooth edged darkspots, occurring individually, in clusters, or distributed ran-domly throughout the casting.3.2.2 Shrinkage:3.2.2.1 shrinkage cavity an area with distinct jaggedboundaries.3.2.2.2 shrinkage,

14、 Originallyapproved in 1962. Last previous edition approved in 1995 as E 192 - 95 (1999).2The reference radiographs are considered to be applicable to all thin-wall steelcastings, requiring close tolerances.

Description4.1 The range of radiographic illustrations is given in Tab
23、le1. The graded discontinuities are illustrated in eight grades.These grades range from that discernible at a 2-1T quality levelor better to that evident of poor workmanship and commonlyrejectable in commercial practice.5The ungraded illustrationshave been included to establish the appearance of the
24、 radio-graphic indications they represent in thin-wall steel castings.The alloys used are listed in Table 2.5Each grade of a given discontinuity type is contained in an individualapproximate 2 by 234-in. 51 by 70-mm machined casting block. These blocks wereinserted in steel keeper plates with radiog
25、raphic characteristics equivalent to thecasting blocks. The assembled plates were then radiographed to obtain the variousgradations shown.TABLE 1 Range of IllustrationIllustrationsIllustrationPlate Thick-ness, in.mmApplicable CastingThickness, in. mmGraded:Gas holes18 3.214 6.4 and underGas holes38

All of the

Basis for Application5.1 The reference radiographs may be applied as acceptancestandards in a variety of ways tailored to the specific applica-tion. Appl
33、ication of these reference radiographs as acceptancestandards should be based on the intended use of the productand the following considerations (see Note 2):5.1.1 The discontinuities in the specified reference radio-graph are acceptable in the specified unit area of the castingbeing examined. The s
34、ize of this unit area should be specifiedin the acceptance criteria.5.1.2 Any combination or portion of these radiographs maybe used as is relevant to the particular application. Differentgrades or acceptance limits may be specified for each discon-tinuity type. Furthermore, different grades may be
35、specified fordifferent regions or zones of a component.5.1.3 Special considerations may be required where morethan one discontinuity type are present in the same area. Anymodifications to the acceptance criteria required on the basis ofmultiple discontinuity types must be specified.5.1.4 Where the r
36、eference radiographs provide only anungraded illustration of a discontinuity, an acceptance levelmay be specified by referencing a maximum discontinuity size,or a percentage of the discontinuity size illustrated.5.1.5 Where the reference radiograph contains multiplediscontinuities, as in the case of
37、 gas holes, acceptance may bebased upon the aggregate size of the discontinuities, maximumdiscontinuity size in the reference radiograph, the spacingbetween discontinuities, or a combination of these and/or othercriteria.5.1.6 As a minimum the acceptance criteria should containinformation addressing
38、; zoning of the part (if applicable), themaximum acceptable severity level for each discontinuity type,and the specified area that the reference radiograph is to beapplied.NOTE 2Caution should be exercised in specifying the grade ofdiscontinuity to be met in a casting. Casting design coupled with fo
39、undrypractice should be considered. It is advisable to consult with themanufacturer/foundry before establishing the acceptance criteria to ensurethe desired quality level can be achieved.5.2 Film DeteriorationRadiographic films are subject towear and tear from handling and use. The extent to which t
40、heimage deteriorates over time is a function of storage condi-tions, care in handling and amount of use. Reference radio-graph films are no exception and may exhibit a loss in imagequality over time. The radiographs should therefore be peri-odically examined for signs of wear and tear, includingscra
41、tches, abrasions, stains, and so forth. Any reference radio-graphs which show signs of excessive wear and tear whichcould influence the interpretation and use of the radiographsshould be replaced.6.
