Terminology3.1 DefinitionsGeneral terms pertaining

19、to ultraviolet A(UV-A) radiation and visible light used in liquid penetrant andmagnetic examination are defined in Terminology E1316 andshall apply to the terms used in this practice.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 battery-powered hand-held lamp, nlamp poweredby a battery us

20、ed in either stationary or portable applicationswhere line power is not available or convenient.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThese lamps may also have the optionto be line-powered (that is, alternating current power supply).Smaller lamps, often referred to as “flashlights” or “torches”are used for portable exa

21、mination of focused zones and oftenhave a single LED.3.2.2 current ripple, nunwanted residual periodic varia-tion (spikes or surges) of the constant current that drives theLED at a constant power level.3.2.2.1 DiscussionRipple is due to incomplete suppres-sion of DC (peak to peak) variance resulting

22、 from the powersupply, stability of regulation circuitry, circuit design, andquality of the electronic components.3.2.3 excitation irradiance, nirradiance calculated in therange of 347 nm and 382 nm. This corresponds to the range ofwavelengths that effectively excite fluorescent penetrant dyes(i.e.

23、greater than 80% of relative peak excitation).3.2.4 irradiance, E, nradiant flux (power) per unit areaincident on a given surface. Typically measured in units ofmicro-watts per square centimeter (W/cm2).3.2.5 lamp model, nA lamp with specific design. Anychange to the lamp design requires a change in

24、 modeldesignation and complete qualification of the new model.3.2.6 light-emitting diode, LED, nsolid state electronicdevices consisting of a semiconductor or semiconductor ele-ments that emit radiation or light when powered by a current.3.2.6.1 DiscussionLEDs emit a relatively narrow band-width spe

25、ctrum when a specific current flows through the chip.The emitted wavelengths are determined by the semiconductormaterial and the doping. The intensity and wavelength canchange depending on the current, age, and chip temperature.3.2.7 line-powered lamp, ncorded hand-held or overheadlamps that are lin

26、e-powered and typically used for stationaryinspections within a controlled production environment.3.2.7.1 DiscussionThese lamps are used for examinationof both small and large inspection zones and consist of an LEDarray. Overhead lamps are used in a stationary inspection boothto flood the inspection

27、 area with UV-A radiation. Handheldlamps are used to flood smaller regions with UV-A radiationand can also be used in portable applications where line poweris available.3.2.8 minimum working distance, nthe distance from theinspection surface where the lamp beam profile begins toexhibit non-uniformit

28、y.3.2.9 transmittance, ratio of the radiant flux transmittedthrough a body to that incident upon it.4. Significance and Use4.1 UV-A lamps are used in fluorescent penetrant andmagnetic particle examination processes to excite fluorophores(dyes or pigments) to maximize the contrast and detection ofdis

29、continuities. The fluorescent dyes/pigments absorb energyfrom the UV-A radiation and re-emit visible light whenreverting to its ground state. This excitation energy conversionallows fluorescence to be observed by the human eye.4.2 The emitted spectra of UV-A lamps can greatly affectthe efficiency of

30、 dye/pigment fluorescent excitation.4.3 Some high-intensity UV-Alamps can produce irradiancegreater than 10 000 W/cm2at 15 in. (381 mm). All high-intensity UV-A light sources can cause fluorescent dye fadeand increase exposure of the inspectors unprotected eyes andskin to high levels of damaging rad

31、iation.4.4 UV-A lamps can emit unwanted visible light and harm-ful UV radiation if not properly filtered. Visible light contami-nation above 400 nm can interfere with the inspection processand must be controlled to minimize reflected glare and maxi-mize the contrast of the indication. UV-B and UV-C

32、contami-nation must also be eliminated to prevent exposure to harmfulradiation.4.5 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Firing (PF)of UV-A LED circuits are not permitted.NOTE 1The ability of existing UV-A radiometers and spectroradiom-eters to accurately measure the irradiance of pulse width modul

33、ated orpulsed fired LEDs and the effect of pulsed firing on indication detectabilityis not well understood.5. Classifications5.1 LED UV-A lamps used for nondestructive testing shallbe of the following types:5.1.1 Type ALine-powered lamps (LED arrays for hand-held and overhead applications) (3.2.5 an

Apparatus6.1 UV-A Radiometer, designed for measuring the ir

35、radianceof electromagnetic radiation. UV-A radiometers use a filter andsensor system to produce a bell-shaped (i.e. Gaussian) responseat 365 nm (3650 ) or top-hat responsivity centered near365 nm (3650 ). 365 nm (3650 ) is the peak wavelengthwhere most penetrant fluorescent dyes exhibit the greatest

42、ork-bench surface. The lamp face shall be parallel to the benchwithin 60.25 in. (66 mm). Ensure that battery-powered lamps(Types B and C) are fully charged. Turn on the lamp and allowto stabilize for 5 min. Place a UV-A radiometer, conforming to6.1, on the workbench. Adjust the lamp position such th

46、m of 30 min before taking measure-ments.7.4.4 Place the UV-A radiometer on the workbench. Adjustthe lamp position such that the face of the lamp is 15.0 60.25 in. (381 6 6 mm) from the radiometer sensor. Scan theradiometer across the projected beam in two orthogonaldirections to locate the point of

47、maximum irradiance. Recordthis location as the zero point. Using a 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) grid,translate the radiometer across the projected beam in 0.5-in.(12.7-mm) increments to generate a two-dimensional (2-D)plot of the beam profile (irradiance versus position). Positionthe radiometer using either an

The beam irradiance profile shallextend to the point at which the irradiance drops below200 W cm2.7.4.5 Generate and report the

49、 2-D plot of the beam irradi-ance profile (see Fig. 1). Map the range of irradiance from 200to 1000 W/cm2, 1000 to 5000 W/cm2, 5000 to 10 000W/cm2, 10 000 W cm2. Report the minimum beam diam-eter at 1000 and 200 W/cm2.NOTE 3The defined ranges are minimums. Additional ranges arepermitted.7.4.6 During the observations of 7.4.1 through 7.4.5, noteany output power variations indicated by perceived changes inprojected beam intensity, flicker, or strobing. Any variations inobserved beam intensity, flicker, or strobing are unacceptable.7.5 Minimum Work
