37、itmay be appropriate to modify or alter such requirements.Where such modifications may be appropriate for the castingapplication, all such changes shall be specifically called-out inthe purchaser supplier agreement or contractual document.Section 9 addresses purchaser supplier requisites for wherewe

Determination of Radiographic Acceptance Criteria5.1 For purposes of eval

39、uation of castings, a determinationmust be made of the radiographic discontinuity acceptancecriteria to be assigned to individual castings or specific areas ofcastings. The determination of the applicable radiographicdiscontinuity criteria shall be based on an evaluation of thecasting applications,

40、design, and service requirements. In theseevaluations, consideration shall be given to such factors aspressure, temperature, section thickness, applicable designsafety factor (preferably based on stress analysis), vibration,shock, resistance to corrosion, involvement of penetratingradiations or radi

41、ation products, and involvement of dangerousgases or liquids.5.2 For each individual casting or specific area of a castingto be radiographed, the discontinuity criteria must be clearlyspecified. For example, severity level 2 might be specified forlinear shrinkage, Category Ca, and severity level 3 f

42、or gasporosity, Category A, since the latter are generally much lessdeleterious to tensile properties (see Section 6).6. Acceptance Criteria Specifications6.1 The applicable radiographic discontinuity acceptancecriteria should be designated by the contracting agency informal specifications or on dra

43、wings and in specific contractsor orders. The specifications, drawings, contracts, or ordershould also designate the sampling plan for the castings to beradiographed and the extent of radiographic coverage, radio-graphic practice to be followed, image quality desired as wellas the severity of the ac

44、ceptable discontinuity for the gradedcategories.7. Evaluation Procedure7.1 Select the appropriate digital reference image to matchthe condition to be evaluated in the production image.7.2 Apply contrast adjustments to the reference image usingthe method described in Section 10.5.7.3 Evaluation shall

45、 be performed against the adjustedreference image.7.4 Compare the production images of the casting submittedfor evaluation with the reference images representing the samegeneral energy range within the thickness range of this stan-dard (unless otherwise specifiedsee Section 4).7.5 When the severity

46、level of discontinuities in the produc-tion image being evaluated is equal to or less than the severitylevel in the specified reference image, that part of the castingrepresented by the production image shall be acceptable. If theproduction image shows discontinuities of greater severity thanthe ref

47、erence image, that part of the casting shall be rejected.7.6 A unit area on the production image shall be evaluatedto a unit area of like size on the reference image. Any unitevaluation area that shares a discontinuity with an adjacent unitevaluation area shall meet the minimum unit area acceptabili

48、tyrequirements within the combined unit area. When the unitarea of interest of a production image is less than the unit areaof the applicable reference image, such unit area of theproduction image shall be prorated to the reference image area.7.7 When two or more categories of discontinuity areprese

49、nt in the same production image, the predominatingdiscontinuities, if unacceptable, shall govern without regard tothe other categories of discontinuity and the casting rejected.7.8 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 present in the same imageto an extent less than the maximum permissible level, as shownin
