23、011 (E) 4 Introduction The eddy current test with internal probe described in this standard has the objective of detecting potential leaks and serious defects in seamless round copper and copper alloy tubes. The eddy current test is able to detect material inhomogeneities and their positions through

24、out the length of tubes. The eddy current signals of material inhomogeneities are compared with reference signals of artificially produced test defects. It is possible to identify these inhomogeneities on the inner and outer surfaces as well as within the tube wall. Since the distribution of eddy cu

25、rrents decreases as the distance from the test coil increases, the amplitude of defect signals also decreases with increasing distance from the test coil. Thus the eddy current test with internal probe on the inner surface is less sensitive to defects on the outer surface. The purpose of this standa

26、rd is not to define a method of measuring the actual extent of the material inhomogeneities as the signal amplitude is dependent on, amongst other factors, volume, form and position of the inhomogeneity. Due to end effects, it is not possible to effectively test the ends of the tubes. The purchaser

27、and the supplier could agree that the end effect may be overcome by cutting to length after testing.

28、11 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a procedure for the eddy current test with an internal probe for measuring defects on the inner surface of seamless round copper and copper alloy tubes. This European Standard applies particularly for finned tubes with high fins according to EN 12452

29、. NOTE The eddy current test method(s) required, together with the size range and acceptance level, are defined in the relevant product standard. The choice of the method for eddy current test: with an encircling test coil on the outer surface according EN 1971-1 or with an internal probe on the inn

30、er surface according EN 1971-2 is at the discretion of the manufacturer if there are no other agreements between the purchaser and the supplier. Especially for finned tubes according to EN 12452 with high fins, it is recommended to use eddy current test with internal probe as described in this stand

For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 473, Non-destructi

33、ts 4.1 Personnel qualification The eddy current test shall be made by operators trained in this technique and it shall be done under the responsibility of qualified staff. When agreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier, qualification of the personnel shall be certified according to EN 473.

34、4.2 Condition of tube to be tested Tubes shall be sufficiently clean and straight to permit satisfactory operation of optionally drive mechanism and eddy current test equipment.

The variation in test sensitivity due to changes of speed and internal probe position within the tubes shall be maint

36、ained within 2 dB. The internal probe can be moved manually or by using a drive mechanism (see Figure 1).

37、s possible. The distance between the probe and the inner surface of the tube shall be kept as small as possible so that the sensitivity of the test is sufficient. NOTE For internal probes, the usual frequencies are in the range 1 kHz to 125 kHz. 5 Reference standard tube Unless otherwise specified i

38、n the relevant product standard, a reference standard tube is made of a defect-free tube of the same dimensions and specified properties as the tube to be tested. During the reference test, the influence of dynamic conditions shall be taken into account. NOTE The producer can ensure that this requir

39、ement is met by the appropriate option subject to the type of the installation, such as: a) for control devices not in-line with production, the reference tube should be long enough to ensure the same dynamic conditions for the reference test as for normal line operating speed; or b) the control dev

40、ices should include a dynamic effect compensating unit to take into account the speed differences between the reference tube throughput speed and the normal line operating speed. Either the reference standard tube shall have three holes located on three generating lines at 120, or only one hole. If

41、a reference standard tube with three holes is used, the holes shall be spaced from each other and from each end, sufficiently to obtain separate signals from each hole without interference from the tube ends. If a reference standard tube with only one hole is used, then this tube shall be used three

42、 times being turned by 120.

43、efined in the relevant product standards. Other reference standard tube types may be considered if they are demonstrated as more relevant for certain products; they shall be defined in the relevant product standards. 6 Acceptance criteria 6.1 Detection of local discontinuities by internal probes sys

44、tems Local discontinuities of the tubes, including beginning and end of long regular discontinuities and variations of long discontinuities, are detected as defects with internal probes systems. The sorting limit shall be the smallest amplitude of the three signals produced by the hole or holes in t

45、he reference standard tube. 6.2 Detection of non-local discontinuities by internal probes systems with lower detection levels Non-local discontinuities of the tube could be identified as defects by one of the methods defined for this purpose, according to the requirements of the relevant product sta

46、ndards. Some discontinuities of the tube, which individually are not considered as defective, might cause signals lower than the detection threshold of the normal sorting limit for local defects but higher than a second selected lower detection threshold Sl. The signals for the lower and normal dete

47、ction thresholds are related by a ratio K2, which shall be determined by the manufacturer of the tube, as follows: SS= Knl2(1) where Slis the signal for the lower detection threshold; Snis the signal for the normal detection threshold. A maximum density of defects d0shall be calculated as follows: L

48、N= d000(2) where N0is the maximum permissible number of discontinuities in a pre-set length; L0is the pre-set length. NOTE Both N0and L0should be determined by the tube manufacturer if they are not specified in the relevant product standard. Discontinuity signals ranging between the two sorting limits of the lower and normal detection thresholds along the pre-set length L0shall be counted as N. When the real density d = N/L0exceeds d0, the entire pre-set length affected shall be considered defective. Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with
