Si

26、gnificance and Use4.1 Graded reference radiographs are intended to provide aguide enabling recognition of specific casting discontinuitytypes and relative severity levels that may be encounteredduring typical fabrication processes. Reference radiographscontaining ungraded discontinuities are provide

27、d as a guide forrecognition of a specific casting discontinuity type whereseverity levels may not be needed. These reference radiographsare intended as a basis from which manufacturers and purchas-ers may, by mutual agreement, select particular discontinuityclasses to serve as standards representing

28、 minimum levels ofacceptability (see Sections 6 and 7).4.2 Reference radiographs represented by this standard maybe used, as agreed upon in a purchaser supplier agreement, forenergy levels, thicknesses or both outside the range of thisstandard when determined applicable for the casting serviceapplic

29、ation. Severity levels of similar discontinuity categoriesand energy level range of E446 or E280 reference radiographsmay alternatively be used, as determined appropriate for thecasting service application, if so agreed upon in a purchasersupplier agreement (see Section 1 and 5.1).4.3 Procedures for

30、 evaluation of production radiographsusing applicable reference radiographs of this standard areprescribed in Section 8; however, there may be manufacturing-purchaser issues involving specific casting service applicationswhere it may be appropriate to modify or alter such require-ments. Where such m

31、odifications may be appropriate for thecasting application, all such changes shall be specificallycalled-out in the purchaser supplier agreement or contractualdocument. Section 9 addresses purchaser supplier requisiteswhere weld repairs to castings may be required.5. Method of Preparation5.1 The ori

32、ginal radiographs used to prepare the adjunctreference radiographs were produced on ASTM Class I or IIfilm systems by the respective use of radiation energies statedin 1.2.1 to 1.2.3. The original radiographs were made with apenetrameter sensitivity, as determined by ASTM penetram-eters (see Guide E

33、94), of 2-2T. The adjunct reference radio-graphs are reproductions prepared to an optical density of 2.00to 2.25 and have substantially retained the contrast of theoriginal radiographs. In preparing these reference radiographs,the objective was to obtain progressively graduated severitylevels for ea

34、ch graded discontinuity category of this standard.Additionally, some overlap of severity levels may occur forsimilar discontinuity categories of Reference Radiograph stan-dard E446 or E280 with the same energy level range (see 6.3).5.2 Film DeteriorationRadiographic films are subject towear and tear

35、 from handling and use. The extent to which theimage 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 exami

36、ned for signs of wear and tear, includingscratches, 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.4Available from ASTM Headquarters.5Order RRE018601.6Order R

Determination of Radiographic Classification6.1 For purposes of evaluation of castings, a determinationmust be made of the radiographic discontinuity classificationsto be assigned to individual castings or specific areas ofcastings. The determination of the appli

38、cable radiographicdiscontinuity classification shall be based on an evaluation ofthe casting applications, design, and service requirements. Inthese evaluations, consideration shall be given to such factorsas pressure, temperature, section thickness, applicable designsafety factor, vibration, shock,

39、 resistance to corrosion, involve-ment of penetrating radiations or radiation products, andinvolvement of dangerous gases or liquids.6.2 For each individual casting or specific area of a castingto be radiographed, the discontinuity class must be clearlyspecified. For example: severity level 2 might

40、be specified forlinear shrinkage, Category Ca, and severity level 3 for gasporosity, Category A, since the latter are generally much lessdeleterious to tensile properties (see Section 7).6.3 When determining discontinuity severity levels for in-dividual castings spanning thickness ranges outside the

41、 rangeof this standard, consideration should be given to the potentialfor overlapping severity levels as described in 4.2 and 5.1.6.4 Production radiographs which are compared to refer-ence radiographs should have an optical density in the area ofinterest in accordance with Standard Guide E94 and a

42、specifiedminimum radiographic sensitivity (quality level) of 2 % (2-2T). Other radiographic quality levels or optical densities maybe designated, but then a corresponding change in severitylevel for each discontinuity category should be anticipated andhence specified.7. Classification Specifications

43、7.1 The applicable radiographic discontinuity classificationshould be designated by the contracting agency in formalspecifications or drawings and in the specific contract or order.The specifications, drawings, contract, or order should alsodesignate the sampling plan for the castings to be radiogra

45、diograph standard E242.8. Procedure for Evaluation8.1 Compare the production radiographs of the castingsubmitted for evaluation with the reference radiographs ex-posed at an equivalent energy range within the thickness rangeof this standard (unless otherwise specifiedsee Section 4).8.2 When the seve

46、rity level of discontinuities in the produc-tion radiograph being evaluated is equal to or less than theseverity level in the specified reference radiograph, that part ofthe casting represented by the production radiograph shall beacceptable. If the production radiograph shows discontinuitiesof grea

47、ter severity than the reference radiograph, that part ofthe casting shall be rejected.8.3 A unit area on the production radiograph shall beevaluated to a unit area of like size on the reference radiograph.Any evaluation unit area that shares a discontinuity with anadjacent unit evaluation area shall

48、 meet the minimum unit areaacceptability requirements within the combined unit area.When the unit area of interest of a production radiograph is lessthan the unit area of the applicable reference radiograph, suchunit area of the production radiograph shall be prorated to thereference radiographic ar

49、ea.8.4 When two or more categories of discontinuity arepresent in the same production radiograph, the predominatingdiscontinuities, if unacceptable, shall govern without regard tothe other categories of discontinuity and that part of the castingshall be judged unacceptable.8.5 When two or more categories of discontinuity arepresent to an extent equal to the maximum permissible level asshown in the applicable standards for each category, then thatpart of the casting shall be judged unacceptable. When two ormore categories of discontinuity are p
