15、043. Terminology3.1 Definitions: For definitions of terms used in this standard, refer to Terminology E1316, Section D.4. Significance and Use4.1 Akey consideration with any radiographic system is its capability to resolve detail contrast resolution and spatial resolutioncapability (that is, sensiti

16、vity). The degree of obtainable sensitivity with a given system is dependent upon several radiographicparameters such as source energy level, film type, system class, type and thickness of intensifying screens, exposure (density), etc.This guide permits the user to estimate the degree of sensitivity

17、 that may be obtained with X rays X-rays and cobalt-60 gammarays when using a prescribed set of radiographic parameters. This guide may also be used in conjunction with Test MethodMethodsE746 or E1735 to provide a basis for developing data for evaluation of a users specific system. This data may ass

18、ist a user indetermining appropriate parameters for obtaining desired degrees of radiographic system sensitivity. An alternate to this approachis the use of those adjunct radiographic illustrations detailed in Section 6.5. Procedure5.1 Sensitivity for 14 to 2-in. (6 to 51-mm) Thick Steel Using X Ray

19、s: X-Rays:5.1.1 The values of sensitivity were determined from a statistical study of visibility of images of penetrameter holes. Near100 % certainty of seeing the image of a hole on any radiograph was taken as the criterion for determining sensitivity. Mostradiographs will show slightly better sens

20、itivity than indicated in Figs. 1-3 because of the statistical nature of recording informationfrom a beam of X rays X-rays but occasionally, one will not show quite as good sensitivity.5.1.2 Equivalent Penetrameter Sensitvity (EPS) is defined in Eq 1. For a full discussion of EPS see Appendix X1 of

For this work it was calculated

22、 as in Eq 1. The change in slope of the steel thickness curves on Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is a resultof the established 10-mil minimum hole diameter in Practice E1025 and Practice E1742, Appendix A1.5.1.3 Fig. 1 illustrates obtainable equivalent penetrameter sensitivity (seeAppendix X1 of Practice E1025)

Two different penetrameter markings are displayed in the figure: those for PracticeE1025 and those for Practice E1742, Annex A1 (also NAVSEA Technical Publication T9074-AS-GIB-010/271 and formerMIL-STD-453 penetrameter markings). The intersection projected to the left ordinate gives the minimum p

37、itivity for 1 to 6-in. (25 to 152-mm) Thick Steel Using Cobalt-60:5.2.1 For cobalt-60 radiography of steel, the variables that affect image quality and that can be controlled are the speed of thefilm and the recording of scattered radiation relative to the recording of image-forming radiation. The r

38、elative recording of scatter(the scatter buildup factor) can be decreased by the use of lead filtration between the specimen and the film or by the use oflow-atomic-number metal screens. Either method gives nearly equal improvement in image quality for a given increase inexposure.5.2.2 Radiographs o
