1、Designation: E2868 17Standard Digital Reference Images forSteel Castings up to 2 in. (50.8 mm) in Thickness1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2868; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last

2、 revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 These digital reference images illustrate variouscategories, types, and severity levels of discontinuities occur-ring in

3、steel castings that have section thicknesses up to 2 in.(50.8 mm). The digital reference images are an adjunct to thisstandard and must be purchased separately from ASTMInternational, if needed (see 2.3). Categories and severitylevels for each discontinuity type represented by these digitalreference

4、 images are described in 1.2.NOTE 1The basis of application for these reference images requires aprior purchaser supplier agreement of radiographic examination attributesand acceptance criteria as described in Sections 4, 6, and 7 of thisstandard.1.2 These digital reference images consist of three s

5、eparatevolumes (see Note 2) as follows: (I) medium voltage (nominal250-kV) X rays, (II) 1-MV X rays and Iridium-192 radiation,and (III) 2-MV to 4-MV X rays and Cobalt-60 radiation.Unless otherwise specified in a purchaser supplier agreement(see 1.1), each volume is for comparison only with productio

6、ndigital images produced with radiation energy levels within thethickness range covered by this standard. Each volume consistsof six categories of graded discontinuities of increasing sever-ity level and four categories of ungraded discontinuities.Reference images containing ungraded discontinuities

7、 areprovided as a guide for recognition of a specific castingdiscontinuity type where severity levels are not needed. Thefollowing is a list of discontinuity categories, types, andseverity levels for the adjunct digital reference images of thisstandard:1.2.1 Category A Gas porosity; severity levels

11、s listed for all threevolumes, the appearance of mottling is dependent on the level of radiationenergy. Mottling appears reasonably prominent in Volume I; however,because of the higher radiation energy levels mottling may not be apparentin Volume II nor Volume III.1.3 All areas of this standard may

12、be open to agreementbetween the cognizant engineering organization and thesupplier, or specific direction from the cognizant engineeringorganization. These items should be addressed in the purchaseorder or the contract.1.4 These digital reference images are not intended toillustrate the types and de

13、grees of discontinuities found in steelcastings up to 2 in. (50.8 mm) in thickness when performingfilm radiography. If performing film radiography of steelcastings up to 2 in. (50.8 mm) in thickness, refer to ReferenceRadiographs E446.1.5 Only licensed copies of the software and images shall beutili

14、zed for production inspection. A copy of the ASTM/Userlicense agreement shall be kept on file for audit purposes. (SeeNote 4.)NOTE 4Each volume of digital reference images consists of 7 digitaldata files, software to load the desired format and specific instructions onthe loading process. The 34 ref

15、erence images in each volume illustrate sixcategories of graded discontinuities and four categories of ungradeddiscontinuities and contain an image of a step wedge.

Significance and Use4.1 Graded reference images are intended to provide a guide

34、enabling recognition of specific casting discontinuity types andrelative severity levels that may be encountered during typicalfabrication processes. Reference images containing ungradeddiscontinuities are provided as a guide for recognition of aspecific casting discontinuity type where severity lev

These reference images are intended as a basis fromwhich manufacturers and purchasers may, by mutualagreement, select particular discontinuity classes to serve asstandards representing minimum levels of acceptability (seeSections 6 and 7).2For referenced ASTM standards, visit the

Det

41、ermination of Radiographic Acceptance Criteria5.1 For purposes of evaluation 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

42、 criteria shall be based on an evaluation of thecasting applications, 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,

43、 resistance to corrosion, involvement of penetratingradiations or radiation 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

44、 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 6).6. Acceptance Criteria Specifications6.1 The applicable radiographic discontinuity acceptancecriteria should be

45、designated by the contracting agency informal specifications or on drawings 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

46、to be followed, image quality desired as wellas the severity of the acceptable 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 referenc

47、e image usingthe method described in Section 10.5.7.3 Evaluation shall 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

48、-dard (unless otherwise specifiedsee Section 4).7.5 When the severity 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 the

49、production image shows discontinuities of greater severity thanthe reference 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 acceptabilityrequirements 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 o
