Standards
This standard provides guidance on levels of imperfections in arc-welded joints in steel. Three levels are given in such a way as to permit application for a wide range of welded fabrications. The levels refer to production quality and not to the fitness-for-purpose (see 3.1) of the product manufactured. This standard applies to - unalloyed and alloyed steels – the following welding processes and their defined sub-processes in accordance with ISO 4063.
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 magnetic particle inspection, when such an inspection procedure has been contractually agreed upon at the request of the purchaser. It applies to all magnetic steel castings; whatever casting process is used. A steel shall be considered to be magnetic if the magnetic induction is greater than 1 T for a magnetic field
strength equal to 2, 4 KA/m.
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.
For the interpretation of radiographs and the assignment of radiographic quality levels to a casting, it is necessary to use a standard set of reference radiographs. The reference radiographs available from ASTM (see clause 2) are the only internationally used and recognized documents that may be used for this purpose.
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.
This standard specifies a method for liquid penetrant inspection of discontinuities rising to the surface of aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy products and castings. It also defines severity levels as a function of the nature and number of discontinuities present. This standard applies to all aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy castings, whatever their grade and the casting procedure used to produce them.
This standard gives recommendations on the serviceability of buildings against vibrations. It covers three recipients of vibrations: a) human occupancy in buildings and on pedestrian bridges; b) the contents of the building; c) the structure of the building. It applies to buildings, pedestrian bridges and walkways found within buildings or connecting them and does not include bridges that carry vehicular traffic, nor the design of foundations or supporting structures of machinery.
This standard specifies requirements for the operation of testing and/or calibration laboratories. It is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.
