DIN EN ISO 10893-10

Abstract

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. <br>Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the testing method is applicable to the detection of predominantly longitudinal imperfections. <br>In the case of testing on longitudinal imperfections, Lamb wave testing can be applied at the discretion of the manufacturer. <br>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. <br>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. <br>This part of ISO 10893 can also be applicable to the testing of circular hollow sections. <br>NOTE For options for testing tubes with an outside diameter-to-thickness ratio less than 5 on longitudinal imperfections, see Annex A.
