The practice or standard used and itsapplicable revision shall be identified in the contractual agree-ment between the using parties.6.2 Qualification of Nondestructive Testing (NDT)AgenciesWhen specified in the contractual agreement, non-destructive testing agencies sha

23、ll be qualified and evaluated asdescribed in Practice E 543.6.2.1 SafetyThe NDT facility shall present no hazards tothe safety of personnel and property. NCRP 144, andNCRP 116 may be used as guides to ensure that radiologicalprocedures are performed so that personnel shall not receive aradiation dos

24、e exceeding the maximum safe limits as permittedby city, state, or national codes.7. Equipment and Materials7.1 Equipment:7.1.1 X-Radiation SourcesSelection of suitable X-ray ma-chines will depend upon variables regarding the specimenbeing examined and the size and type of defects being sought.The s

25、uitability of an X-ray machine shall be demonstrated byattainment of the required radiographic quality level, radio-graphic contrast, and compliance with all other requirementsstipulated in this Standard.7.1.1.1 Geometric magnification may be used with thefollowing caveats and considerations: a) The

26、 higher the mag-nification factor used, the smaller the area of inspectionbecomes within the part that is normal to the radiation beam.This makes detection of certain discontinuities, such as cracksthat occupy a significant portion of the part thickness morechallenging to detect. b) System spatial r

27、esolution increaseswith magnification, which can increase overall system sharp-ness. However, the maximum magnification allowed shall bebased on the unsharpness requirements of Table 1. c) Contrastto Noise increases with greater object to detector distancebecause less scatter radiation reaches the d

28、etector.7.1.1.2 When using magnification, the focal spot size shouldbe small enough to avoid unsharpness due to the size of thefocal spot in accordance with section 8.5 herein. For evaluationof a proper focal spot size, refer to Guide E 1000, subsection11.3 and Fig. 19.7.1.2 Gamma Radiation SourcesG

29、amma radiationsources are generally not suitable for the high contrast, highsensitivity requirements needed to meet the requirements ofthis practice. The use of gamma ray sources will only beallowed when approved by the CEO, or the certified Level 3Radiographer, or both. The suitability of a specifi

30、c gamma raysource shall be demonstrated by attainment of the requiredradiographic quality level, radiographic contrast, and compli-ance with all other requirements stipulated in this practice.7.1.3 Film Processing EquipmentThe following are thedescriptions of automatic processors and manual processi

31、ng inregards to film processing equipment.7.1.3.1 Automatic Film ProcessorsAutomatic film pro-cessors shall conform to the film manufacturers requirements(that is, time, temperature and replenishment rates) for filmprocessing, and be maintained in accordance with the manu-facturers recommendations i

32、n such a manner as to consistentlyproduce blemish free and archival quality radiographs. Auto-matic processor replenisher tanks, including auto mixers shallbe set up and maintained in accordance with the film manu-facturers recommendations, that is, floating lid in developertank, filters on replenis

33、hment lines, or cleaned periodically.7.1.3.2 Manual Film ProcessingManual processing tanksand film dryers shall conform to the film manufacturersrequirements (that is, stainless steel or other non-reactivematerial, proper covers) and shall be large enough to consis-tently produce blemish free and ar

34、chival quality radiographs.Manual tanks shall be cleaned and supplied with fresh chem-istry using the following guidelines:(1) Developer TankDrain and clean it when replenisherhas been added to an amount equal to five times the volume ofthe tank. The amount of replenisher added shall be recorded for

35、reference.(2) Fixer TankDrain and clean it when the clearing timeis twice as long as it was when fresh (fresh fixer will usuallyclear a film in approximately 60 seconds). The initial clearingtime shall be recorded for reference.(3) Wash and Stop Bath TanksThe wash tank and stopbath tanks shall be cl

36、eaned whenever the fixer or developertanks are cleaned.7.1.4 Digital Detector Array, or CR, or BothThe DDA, orCR, or both, must have an appropriate signal to noise ratio,contrast sensitivity, spatial resolution capability, image lag forDDA (or burn in)/effective erasure capability for CR, anddynamic

40、., shall be as agreed upon between userand the CEO. Practices E 2446 and E 2597 may be consultedfor aid in determining relevant tests to measure these attributes.7.1.5.1 The DDA, or CR, or both, should be calibrated usingthe manufacturers recommendation both for frequency ofcalibration and the metho
