The content of this Standard Pr

3、actice is the resulting efforts of competent and experienced volunteers to provide an effective, clear, and non-exclusive standard that will benefit the industry as a whole. This MSS Standard Practice describes minimal requirements and is intended as a basis for common practice by the manufacturer,

4、the user, and the general public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does not in itself preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of products not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory conformance to this Standard Practice is established only by reference in other documents such as a cod

5、e, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable. MSS has no power, nor does it undertake, to enforce or certify compliance with this document. Any certification or other statement of compliance with the requirements of this Standard Practice shall not be attributable to MSS and is sol

6、ely the responsibility of the certifier or maker of the statement. “Unless indicated otherwise within this MSS Standard Practice, other standards documents referenced to herein are identified by the date of issue that was applicable to this Standard Practice at the date of approval of this MSS Stand

7、ard Practice (see Annex A). This Standard Practice shall remain silent on the validity of those other standards of prior or subsequent dates of issue even though applicable provisions may not have changed.” By publication of this Standard Practice, no position is taken with respect to the validity o

8、f any potential claim(s) or of any patent rights in connection therewith. MSS shall not be held responsible for identifying any patent rights. Users are expressly advised that determination of patent rights and the risk of infringement of such rights are entirely their responsibility. In this Standa

9、rd Practice, all text, notes, annexes, tables, figures, and references are construed to be essential to the understanding of the message of the standard, and are considered normative unless indicated as “supplemental”. All appendices, if included, that appear in this document are construed as “suppl

10、emental”. Note that supplemental information does not include mandatory requirements. U.S. customary units in this Standard Practice are the standard; the SI (metric) units are for reference only. This Standard Practice has been substantially revised from the previous 1999 (R 2007) edition. It is su

11、ggested that if the user is interested in knowing what changes have been made, that direct page by page comparison should be made of this document and that of the previous edition.

16、APHIC EXAMINATION METHOD 1. SCOPE 1.1 This Standard Practice provides methods and acceptance standards for the film method of radiographic examination of steel castings for valves, flanges, fittings, and other piping components. This Standard Practice is applicable to the initial examination of cast

17、ings and toward the examination of casting repairs. 1.2 The methods contained in this Standard Practice provide uniform procedures that will produce satisfactory and consistent results upon which the acceptance standards of Section 5 may be used. 1.3 This examination guide may be used on a voluntary

18、 basis or when specified in an inquiry, contract, or order, and when mutually agreed upon by the manufacturer and the purchaser. 1.4 It is difficult to rigidly interpret radiographs to a set of acceptance standards. Consequently, there is a need for close cooperation between the manufacturer and the

19、 purchaser in applying radiographic acceptance standards. 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1 For definitions of terms relating to radiography, refer to ASTM E94, Appendix X1. 3. BASIS FOR USE 3.1 Critical sections of pressure containing valve castings, as identified by ASME B16.34, shall be radiographed. 3.2 Radiog

20、raphs of castings up to 2 in. (50.8 mm) wall thickness shall be interpreted to ASTM E446; heavy-wall thickness from 2 to less than 4 in. (50.8 to 114 mm) shall be interpreted to ASTM E186; and heavy-wall thickness from 4 to 12 in. (114 to 305 mm) shall be interpreted to ASTM E280. 4. RADIOGRAPHIC PR

21、OCEDURE 4.1 ASTM E94, “Standard Guide for Radiographic Testing” shall be used as a guide. 4.2 Areas to be radiographed shall be in accordance with Section 3.1. 4.3 The film shall be as close as practical to the casting being radiographed. 4.4 Any commercial available intensifying screen except those

22、 of the fluorescent type may be used. 4.5 All film shall bear identification markings to properly orient the film for interpretation and to denote the actual casting under examination. Film shall be marked to identify the organization producing the radiograph and the date exposed. 4.6 Penetrameters

23、shall be used on each radiograph and shall conform to the requirements of ASTM E94. 4.7 Any commercially available film may be used provided it is equal to or finer grained than ASTM E94, Type 2. 4.8 Radiographs may be made using multiple film techniques, and in either single or multiple viewing, so

24、 as to cover a greater latitude in casting thickness with a single exposure. 4.9 Radiographs shall be within the following photographic (H with a double film 4.0 maximum. 4.10 Surface shall be such that radiographic contrast due to surface condition cannot mask or be confused with that of any indica

25、tion. MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-54 2 4.11 Single wall thicknesses shall be radiographed wherever practical. 4.12 The radiographic sensitivity shall be 2-4T for thickness up to and including 0.75 in. (19 mm) and 2-2T for thickness greater than 0.75 in. (19 mm). 4.13 The manufacturer shall be responsib

26、le for assigning qualified personnel to perform and interpret radiographic examinations in conformance with the requirements of this Standard Practice. 4.14 A qualification record of personnel considered suitable by the manufacturer to perform and interpret examinations in accordance with this Stand

27、ard Practice shall be available upon request. ASNT SNT-TC-1A provides a recommended procedure for qualifying personnel. 5. ACCEPTANCE STANDARDS 5.1 Acceptance criteria for castings that involve the body, bonnet (cover), and end pieces (of multi-piece valve bodies, e.g., ball valves) shall be based o
