Standards

This part of ISO 10893 specifies requirements for automated full peripheral ultrasonic shear wave (generated by conventional or phased array technique) testing of seamless and welded [except submerged arc-welded (SAW)] steel tubes, for the detection of longitudinal and/or transverse imperfections.

Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the testing method is applicable to the detection of predominantly longitudinal imperfections. 

In the case of testing on longitudinal imperfections, Lamb wave testing can be applied at the discretion of the manufacturer.

For seamless tubes, by agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer, testing principles of this part of ISO 10893 can be applied to detect imperfections having other orientations.

This part of ISO 10893 is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter greater than or equal to 10 mm, normally with an outside diameter-to-thickness ratio greater than or equal to 5.

This part of ISO 10893 can also be applicable to the testing of circular hollow sections. 

NOTE For options for testing tubes with an outside diameter-to-thickness ratio less than 5 on longitudinal imperfections, see Annex A.

  This standard specifies requirements for eddy current testing of seamless and welded tubes for pressure purposes, with the exception of submerged arc-welded (SAW) tubes, for the detection of imperfections, according to two different acceptance levels (see tables 1 and 2).  It is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter greater than or equal to 4 mm. 

This part of ISO 10893 specifies requirements for automated eddy current testing of seamless and welded tubes with the exception of submerged arc-welded (SAW) tubes, for the detection of imperfections according to the different acceptance levels as shown in Tables 1 and 2. It is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter greater than or equal to 4 mm.

This part of ISO 10893 can also be applicable to the testing of hollow sections. 

  This standard specifies requirements for the ultrasonic testing of the weld seam of electric resistance and induction welded steel tubes for the detection of predominantly radial longitudinal imperfections, according to two different acceptance levels.

This part of ISO 10893 specifies requirements for the automated ultrasonic shear wave (generated by conventional or phased array technique) testing of the weld seam of submerged arc-welded (SAW) or electric resistance and induction-welded (EW) steel tubes.

For SAW tubes, the test covers the detection of imperfections oriented predominantly parallel to or, by agreement, perpendicular to the weld seam or both.

For EW tubes, the test covers the detection of imperfections oriented predominantly parallel to the weld seam. In the case of testing on longitudinal imperfections, Lamb wave testing can be applied at the discretion of the manufacturer.

For the detection of imperfections at the weld seam of EW tubes, full peripheral ultrasonic testing is possible. This part of ISO 10893 can also be applicable to the testing of circular hollow sections.

NOTE For full peripheral ultrasonic testing of seamless and welded (except SAW) tubes, see ISO 10893-10. 

This standard specifies requirements for the ultrasonic testing of the weld seam of submerged arc-welded (longitudinally or spirally) tubes for the detection of imperfections oriented predominantly parallel to and/or at right angles to the weld seam, according to three different acceptance levels (see table 1 and table 2).  This standard covers the inspection of tubular products with outside diameter greater than or equal to 150 mm. 

This standard specifies requirements for ultrasonic thickness testing of seamless and welded tubes for pressure purposes, with the exception of submerged arc-welded (SAW) tubes, for verification of hydraulic leak-tightness.

This International Standard specifies requirements for automated ultrasonic shear-wave (generated by single element probes or the phased-array technique) testing of seamless and welded (except submerged arcwelded) steel tubes, for verification of hydraulic leak-tightness. 

The testing technique is applied for the detection of predominantly longitudinal imperfections. Where applicable, Lamb-wave testing may be applied at the discretion of the manufacturer.

This International Standard is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter greater than or equal to 10 mm, and with an outside diameter-to-thickness ratio greater than or equal to 5.

This standard specifies requirements for full peripheral ultrasonic thickness testing of seamless and hot-stretch-reduced welded steel tubes.

This part of ISO 10893 specifies requirements for the automated full peripheral ultrasonic testing of seamless and welded steel tubes, with the exception of submerged arc-welded (SAW) tubes, for wall thickness measurement. It specifies the testing method and corresponding calibration procedures.

NOTE 1 Full peripheral testing does not necessarily mean that 100 % of the tube surface is scanned.

NOTE 2 This test can be carried out simultaneously with full peripheral ultrasonic testing for the detection of laminar imperfections (see ISO 10893-8) using the same ultrasonic transducers for both inspection requirements.

Under these circumstances, the minimum lamination size under detection determines the percentage of the tube surface for scanning, according to ISO 10893-8. This part of ISO 10893 can also be applicable to the testing of circular hollow sections.

This part of ISO 10893 is applicable to the thickness measurement of tubes with a specified outside diameter equal to or greater than 25,4 mm and a minimum wall thickness of 2,6 mm, unless otherwise agreed on.
