Standards

This standard specifies requirements for full peripheral ultrasonic testing of the ends of seamless and welded tubes for the detection of laminar imperfections. It is intended to detect, over a zone at the ends of plain end and bevelled end tubes, laminar imperfections which may interfere with subsequent fabrication operations (e.g.) welding, ultrasonic inspection of welds, etc). This standard is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter greater than 30 mm. No lower limit of thickness is specified, but see note 1.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5182:1978). Specifies the characteristics of the materials which are used for carrying current and transmitting force to the work. Gives normative references. Defines the term softening temperature. Classifies copper and copper alloys and sintered materials. Specifies test methods, designation, typical applications (annex A), hardness conversions (annex B). Annexes C and D contain properties and bibliography, respectively.

This standard lays down requirements for tungsten electrodes for inert gas shielded arc welding, and for plasma cutting and welding.  

 This standard lays down the general specifications, requirements and tests of safety devices for fuel gases and oxygen or compressed air used downstream of cylinder or pipeline outlet regulators and of pipeline outlet valves, and upstream of blowpipes for welding, cutting and allied processes. It does not specify location and combination of these devices in the gas system.  

  This standard covers graphical symbols which are placed on resistance welding equipment, e.g., indicators and operator's controls, in order to instruct the persons handling the equipment as to its use and operation. 

  This standard specifies the maximum external leakage rates, which are acceptable for equipment used for welding, cutting and allied processes.  It applies to individual components which are used in the gas supply to a blowpipe from the connecting point of the hose (outlet of the cylinder valve or connecting point to a gas supply plant).  It does not apply to gas supply plants. 

This specifies designations for filler materials for soft soldering, brazing and braze welding, on the basis of their chemical composition. For brazing and braze welding materials only, the designation includes their solidus /liquidus temperatures.  It deals only with those filler metals used in soft soldering, brazing and braze welding which do not incorporate flux, either as a covering or as an integral part of the filler material.

This standard specifies a test method for determining the acceptance limits of surface discontinuities detected by liquid penetrant inspection, when such an inspection procedure has been contractually agreed upon at the request of the purchaser. It applies to all steel castings; whatever casting process is used.

This standard specifies general rules for appropriate implementation of radiographic inspection and stresses the technical specifications to be defined for agreement on discontinuity acceptance criteria by this technique. It applies to aluminum castings.
