DIN EN 14127:2011-04 EN 14127:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the princi

23、ples for ultrasonic thickness measurement of metallic and non-metallic materials by direct contact, based on measurement of time-of-flight of ultrasonic pulses only. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references

24、, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 583-2, Non-destructive testing Ultrasonic examination Part 2: Sensitivity and range setting EN 1330-4:2010, Non-destructive testing Terminology Part 4: Terms

25、 used in ultrasonic testing 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1330-4:2010 apply. 4 Measurement modes The thickness of a part or structure is determined by accurately measuring the time required for a short ultrasonic pulse generated by a

26、 transducer to travel through the thickness of the material once, twice or several times. The material thickness is calculated by multiplying the known sound velocity of the material with the transit time and dividing by the number of times the pulse transits the material wall. This principle can be

27、 accomplished by applying one of the following modes, see Figure 1: a) Mode 1: Measure the transit time from an initial excitation pulse to a first returning echo, minus a zero correction to account for the thickness of the transducer wear surface and the couplant layer (single echo mode). b) Mode 2

28、: Measure the transit time from the end of a delay line to the first backwall echo (single echo delay line mode). c) Mode 3: Measure the transit time between back-wall echoes (multiple echoes). d) Mode 4: Measure the transit time for a pulse travelling from the transmitter to a receiver in contact w

29、ith the back-wall (through transmission mode).

31、cal display showing the measured value; b) dedicated ultrasonic thickness measurement instruments with numerical display showing the measured value and A-scan presentation (waveform display); c) instruments designed primarily for detection of discontinuities with A-scan presentation of signals. This

32、 type of instrument may also include numerical display of thickness values. See 6.4. 5.2 Probes The following types of probes are used, these are generally longitudinal wave probes: dual element probes; single transducer probes. See 6.3. 5.3 Couplant Acoustic contact between probe (probes) and mater

33、ial has to be provided, normally by application of a fluid or gel. The couplant shall not have any adverse effect on the test object, the equipment or represent a health hazard to the operator. For couplant to be used in special measuring conditions see 6.6. The coupling medium should be chosen to s

34、uit the surface conditions and the irregularities of the surface to ensure adequate coupling. 5.4 Reference blocks The measuring system shall be calibrated on one or more samples or reference blocks representative of the object to be measured, i.e. having comparable dimensions, material and structur

35、e. The thickness of the blocks or the steps should cover the range of thickness to be measured. Either the thickness or the sound velocity of the reference blocks shall be known. 5.5 Test objects The object to be measured shall allow for ultrasonic wave propagation. There shall be free access to eac

36、h individual area to be measured. The surface of the area to be measured shall be free of all dirt, grease, lint, scale, welding flux and spatter, oil or other extraneous matter that could interfere with the examination. If the surface is coated, the coating shall have good adhesion to the material.

37、 Otherwise it shall be removed. When measuring through coating its thickness and sound velocity need to be known unless mode 3 is used. DIN EN 14127:2011-04 EN 14127:2011 (E) 8 For further details, see Clause 8. 5.6 Qualification of personnel An operator performing ultrasonic thickness measurement a

38、ccording to this document shall have a basic knowledge of the physics of ultrasonics, and a detailed understanding and training related to ultrasonic thickness measurements. In addition, the operator shall have knowledge of the product and material to be measured. It is assumed that ultrasonic thick

39、ness testing is performed by qualified and capable personnel. In order to prove this qualification, it is recommended to certify the personnel in accordance with EN 473 or equivalent. Note that for pressure equipment in categories III and IV according to Directive 97/23/EC, Annex I, 3.1.3: the perso

40、nnel must be approved by a third-party organization recognized by a Member State. 6 Application of the technique 6.1 Surface conditions and surface preparation Using the pulse-echo method means that the ultrasonic pulse has to pass the contact surface between test object and the probe at least twice

41、: when entering the object and when leaving it. Therefore a clean and even contact area with at least two times the probes diameter is preferred. Poor contact will result in loss of energy, distortion of signal and sound path. To enable sound propagation all loose parts and non adherent coatings sha

42、ll be removed by brushing or grinding. Attached layers, like colour coating, plating, enamels, may stay on the object, but only a few thickness meters are able to exclude these layers from being measured. Very often thickness measurements have to be done on corroded surfaces, e.g. storage tanks and

43、pipelines. To increase measuring accuracy the contact surface should be ground within an area at least two times the probes diameter. This area should be clean from corrosion products. 6.2 Technique 6.2.1 General The task of ultrasonic thickness measurements can be separated into two application are

44、as: measurement during manufacture; in-service measurements of residual wall thickness. Each area has its own special conditions which require special measuring techniques. With a knowledge of the material, geometry and thickness to be measured and the required accuracy the most suitable measuring e

45、quipment and mode can be selected. Annex D gives further guidance: a) depending on the thickness and the material, frequencies from 100 kHz with through transmission on highly attenuative materials up to 50 MHz on thin metal sheets shall be used; b) if dual element probes are used then compensation

46、for V-path error is required; c) on curved objects the diameter of the probe contact area shall be significantly smaller than the diameter of the test object; DIN EN 14127:2011-04 EN 14127:2011 (E) 9 d) the accuracy of the thickness measurement depends on how accurate the time-of-flight can be measu

47、red, depending on the mode of time-measuring (zero crossing, flank-to-flank, peak-to-peak), depending on the mode chosen (with multiple echoes, mode 3, the accuracy is higher than with modes 1 and 2), depending on the frequencies which can be used (higher frequencies provide higher accuracy than low

48、er frequencies because of the more accurate time measurement); e) ultrasonic thickness measurement is often required over an area of the component to be measured. Where this is the case consideration should be given to the spacing between each measurement. Such spacing should be even and the use of a grid is recommended. The grid size should be selected to give a balance between the confidence in the results and the work content involved. Measuring the thickness ultrasonically means measuring the time-of-flight and then calculating the th
