The inspection methods will be:

DIRECT VISUAL CONTROL

This inspection method may be used when access is sufficient to allow inspection at a distance of less
than 600 mm. and with an angle not less than 30º with respect to the surface to be inspected.

The surface lighting must be at least 350 lux, although 500 lux is recommended. The lighting level will be
verified with a calibrated lux meter. Mirrors may be used to correct the viewing angle.
The weld seams will be inspected on the outside, and inside where possible, covering a minimum of 10
mm., On each side of it.
INDIRECT CONTROL

In cases where it is not possible to carry out the Direct inspection, tools such as mirrors, endoscopes or
cameras can be used by remote control.

LC66 rev.2
Any method used will have a resolution similar to Direct inspection.
This method will only be applied in very specific cases not provided for in a normal
assembly.
7. PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS
Personnel carry out the exam should:
Be familiar with the relevant standards, rules and specifications.
Be informed about the welding procedure to use
Have a good vision in accordance with current requirements, which should be checked every 12 months.
It´s recommended that personnel be certified according to ISO 9712 or another equivalent standard at an
appropriate level for the relevant industrial sector.
8. PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
8.1 VISUAL REVIEW OF THE PREPARATION OF THE UNION
When visual examination is required before welding, the tiles must be examined to verifybe:
• The shape and dimensions of the joint preparation meet the requirements set forth in the
welding procedure specification.
• Melting faces and adjacent surfaces are clean
• The pieces to be joined by welding have been fixed together according to the plans or
instructions.

LC66 rev.2
8.2 VISUAL EXAMINATION DURING THE WELDING
When required, welding should be examined during the welding process to verify:
Each pass or weld metal layer is cleaned before it is covered by the following, paying special attention to
the joints between the weld metal and the melting face
There are no visible imperfections. If they are appreciated, it must be informed so that corrective actions
can be taken before more welding metal is deposited
The transition between passes and between the weld and the base metal has such a shape that fusion
can be successfully achieved during the welding of the next pass
The depth and shape of the resanado is in accordance with the WPS or are comparable to those of the ori-
ginal chamfer, in order to ensure the total removal of the weld metal as specified
8.3. VISUAL REVIEW OF THE WELDED FINISH
8.3.1. CLEANING AND REVIEW
Welding should be examined to verify that:

All slag has been removed by manual or mechanical means, in order to prevent imperfections from being
hidden
There are no tool marks or arc ignitions
When welding needs to be reviewed, grinding overheating as well as grinding marks and irregular finishes
will be avoided.
In angled and butt welds that are covered with cloth, the transition between the weld metal and the base
metal will be done smoothly without reducing the thickness
8.3.2. SIDE FACE AND DIMENSIONING
It must be verified:

LC66 rev.2
• The profile of the weld face and the height of any excess weld metal meet the requirements of the
current acceptance standards
• The welding has a regular surface, the arrangement and passage of the waters have a satisfactory
and uniform visual appearance. The distance between the pass and the base metal, or the position
of the passes, has been measured where the WPS specifies it
• The width of the weld is uniform throughout the joint and meets the requirements established in
the applicable plan or standard. In case of butt joints, it must be verified that the welding
preparation has been fully filled
8.3.3. ROOT PASS AND SURFACES
The areas visually accessible to welding should be examined to detect deviations from the acceptance
standard.
It must be verified:
• In the case of butt joints welded on one side, the penetration, concavity of the root and any
deflection or contraction of the chamfer, is within the limits specified in the acceptance standard in
the entire joint
• Any bite is within the acceptance standard

LC66 rev.2
• Any imperfection such as cracks or porosity detected, with the use of optical aids when
necessary, on the surface of the weld and thermally affected areas meets the appropriate
acceptance criteria
• Any temporarily welded attachment to facilitate manufacturing or assembly that is detrimental to
the operation of the equipment or makes it difficult to examine, will be removed without damaging
the equipment. The area where the attachment was welded should be checked to make sure it is
free of cracks.
8.4. VISUAL EXAMINATION OF REPAIRED WELDS
When the welds do not fully or partially meet the acceptance criteria and repair is necessary, the following
checks must be carried out during the repair operation:
• Welding partially removed It will be verified that the excavation is deep and long enough for
imperfection It has been removed. It should also be ensured that there is a gradual transition from
the base of the cut to the surface of the weld metal on both ends and sides of the cut, the shape
and dimensions of the weld preparation meets the specified requirements
• Welding Totally Eliminated It will be verified that when a cut has been made through a defective
weld and has not been caused significant material losses, or when a section of materials containing
a defective weld has been removed and a new section is inserted, the shape and dimensions of
the weld preparation meets the specified requirements.

10.2.1 ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION LEVELS
10.2.1.1 OBJECT AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
Acceptance levels are established here for indications of imperfections in welds by steel arc and its
weldable alloys. Three quality levels are established in order to allow its application to most welded
constructions.
These refer to the quality of production and are not specifically related to the suitability for the service
of the manufactured product.
The different levels are indicated in the following table:
Level symbol Quality level

D Moderate
C Intermediate
B High
It is applicable to:
 All types of welding.
 The following welding processes:
131 arc welding with inert gas (MIG)

141 arc welding with tungsten electrode with inert gas protection (TIG)
15 plasma arc welding
 Manual, mechanized and automatic processes;
 All welding positions;
 Butt welded joints, angled and branching;
 Materials with thicknesses greater than 0.5 mm

UNE EN ISO 5817
10.2.1.2 WELDING EVALUATION

The limits for imperfections are given in table 1. If micrographic examinations are used for the detection of imperfec
tions, only those should be considered imperfections that can be detected with a maximum of 10 increases, exclu
ding microcracks. Systematic imperfections are only allowed at level D, provided that the other requirements of table
1 are met.
The different types of imperfections that occur in any cross-section of the union need special considerations (see
multiple imperfections in table 1, point 4.1).
The limits for multiple imperfections are only applicable in cases where the requirements for a single imperfection
are not exceeded.
Any two adjacent imperfections, separated by a distance less than the largest dimension of the smallest
imperfection, should be considered as a single imperfection.

1. OBJECT AND APPLICATION

This procedure specifies techniques for manual ultrasonic testing of fusion welded joints of thickness
equal to or greater than 8 mm, with low ultrasonic attenuation (especially due to dispersion) at object temperatures
between 0 ° C to 60 ° C. It is mainly suitable for use in welded joints with total penetration where both the base
metal and the deposited metal are ferritic.
When material-dependent ultrasonic values are specified in this procedure, they are based on steels that have an
ultrasonic sound velocity of (5 920 + 50) m / s for longitudinal waves and (3 255 + 30) m / s for transverse waves.
Four levels of test are specified, each corresponding to a different probability of detection of imperfections. Annex
A of procedure LC34 10.6 provides guidance for the selection of test levels A, B and C.
The requirements of test level D, which is intended for special applications, conform to general requirements. Test
level D can only be used when defined in a procedure. This includes testing of metals other than ferritic steels,
welding tests with partial penetration, tests with automated equipment, and tests at object temperatures outside
the range of 0 ° C to 60 ° C.
This international standard can be used for the evaluation of discontinuities, to perform acceptance, by any of the
following techniques:
a) Evaluation based mainly on the echo length and amplitude of the indication signal;
b) Evaluation based on the characterization and size of the indication by movement techniques of the probe.
The techniques used must be specified.

5.2. PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS.
Personnel performing the tests must have an appropriate level qualification in ultrasonic testing in accordance wi-
th ISO 9712.
In addition to a general knowledge of ultrasonic welding inspection, personnel should be familiar with the most co-
mmon problems associated with testing the type of welded joints to be examined.
5.3. EQUIPMENT
The ultrasonic equipment will be in perfect working condition and with an annual calibration certificate in force, and
must comply with the requirements of the standard in 12668 (all parts).
It is required to meet the following criteria:
5.3.1 Frequency:
The equipment used in the test, will be the impulse-echo type with linear presentation and capable of
generating frequencies between 1 and 5 MHz minimum and with gain potentiometer set in steps of 2 or less
dB and with a minimum range of 60 dB.
5.3.2. Linearity of screen height.
The team will have a linear presentation in screen height of ± 5% of its total height, within the calibrated
range, which ranges from 20% to 80%. The procedure for carrying out this evaluation will be carried out in
accordance with the provisions of procedure LC.31.
This verification must be carried out at the beginning of each period of use (or at least every three months).
5.3.3. Linearity of gain control (amplifier)
The equipment will have an accuracy of the amplification control over the entire range of use of ± 20% of
the nominal
amplification ratio. This verification
must be carried out at the beginning of each period of use (or
at least every three months)
5.4. PALPADORES
5.4.1 Test frequency.

The probes to be used will be normal wave emission and angular wave emission, the frequency must be
between 2MHz and 5MHz and the size considered normal, and must be selected according to the
acceptance levels specified in standard ISO 11666.
For the initial test, the frequency should be as low as possible, within the range indicated above, when the
evaluation is carried out in accordance with acceptance levels based on length and amplitude, for example,
according to ISO 11666. If it is If necessary, higher frequencies can be used to improve resolution when
acceptance level standards are used based on the characterization of discontinuities, for example, ISO
23279.
Lower frequencies can be used for tests on long sound paths and / or on a material that has high
attenuation characteristics.
5.4.2 Angles of incidence
When the test is performed with transverse waves and by techniques that require the beam Ultrasonic is
reflected on an opposite surface, care must be taken to ensure that the angle between the beam and the
perpendicular to the opposite reflecting surface is between 35 ° and 70 °. When more than one angular

TC40 Rev.5
is used, at least one of the angular probes used must meet this requirement. One of the angular probes
used must ensure that the surfaces of the weld fusion edges are examined with normal incidence, or as
close to normal as possible. Discontinuities that are not well defined will be explored with different
examination angles to determine their nature. When the use of two or more probe angles is specified, the
difference between the nominal angles of the beam must be 10º or greater.
The angular probes will have the real point of exit within + 3 mm, with respect to the nominal one and the
angular deviation will not exceed + 2º of the nominal value. The angles to be used will not be less than 35 °
or greater than 70 °, selecting the most convenient angle according to the thickness to be examined.
The angles of incidence on the probe and on the opposite reflecting surface, when curved, can be determi-
ned by means of diagrams of the sectional view of the weld, or according to the techniques indicated in ISO
16811.
5.4.3 Element size.
The size of the element must be chosen based on the ultrasonic path to be used and the frequency.
The smaller the element, the smaller the length and width of the near field should be, and the greater the di-
vergence of the beam in the far field should be for a given frequency.
Small probes that have elements with a diameter of 6 mm to 12 mm in diameter (or rectangular elements of
equivalent area) are therefore more suitable when working with short-distance beams. For larger paths, for
example, greater than 100 mm for normal single crystal probes and greater than 200 mm for angular pro-
bes, an element size of 12 mm to 24 mm is more suitable.
5.4.4 Adaptation of probes to curved exploration surfaces.
In adapting the probes to the test on curved surfaces, the distance (g) between the bottom of the shoeof the
probe and the test surface must not be larger than 0.5 mm.
On cylindrical or spherical surfaces, this requirement will be guaranteed when the following equation is us-
ed:
g = a2 /4D
where
“a” is the measurement, in millimeters, of the probe sole in the sense of the test;
“D” is the diameter, in millimeters, of the component.
If a value of g greater than 0.5 mm results from the equation, the probe shoe must adapt to the surface, and
the sensitivity and scale must be adjusted properly.

For surfaces with spherical or complex shapes, the above formula should be applied both in the longitudinal
direction and in the width of the probe (due to possible differences in the curvature and / or the dimensions
of the probe).
5.5. CABLES
The cables will be coaxial and appropriate to the type of equipment and probes to be used. The cables used
in the calibration will be those used in the inspection.
5.6. COUPLING
As coupling half, according to ISO 16810, glycerin can be used as a wetting agent, cellulose glue, oil or any
other substance that provides a correct acoustic coupling and is compatible with the material examined.

TC40 Rev.5
The coupling half used for scale and sensitivity adjustment must be the same as that used in the test
6. TEST AREA.
The test area (see figure 1) will include the welding width and an adjacent area of 10 mm. on each side, or
the width of the thermally affected area, whichever is greater.
In all cases, the examination must completely cover the volume of the exam. If there are individual areas of
this volume that cannot be covered in at least one direction of exploration, or if the angles of incidence with
the opposite surfaces do not meet the requirements of section 5.3.2, the use of alternative or additional ul-
trasonic techniques should be agreed or other non-destructive testing techniques. This may require, in so-
me cases, the elimination of weld thickness.
Supplementary techniques may require the use of twin-crystal probes, Lamb's wave probes, other ultraso-
nic techniques, or other appropriate methods, for example, penetrating liquids, magnetic particles, radio-
graphic examination. For the selection of alternative or supplementary techniques, consideration should be
given to the type of welding and the likely orientation of any discontinuity or imperfection that is to be
detected.
7. SURFACE CONDITION.
The test area through which the probe must move will be free of projections, paint, calamine, rust, notches
and any other type of imperfections that prevent correct movement of the probe.
The undulation of the test surface must not exceed 0.5 mm between the probe and the test surface. These
requirements must be met, if necessary, by impregnating liquid.
The surfaces to be explored must be wide enough to allow the entire volume to be controlled to be fully co-
vered (see Figure 1). As an alternative, the width of the scanning surfaces may be smaller if an equivalent
coverage of the volume to be controlled is achieved, by scanning from the highest surface and from the lo-
west of the joint.

longitudinal discontinuities

TC40 Rev.5
8. RANGE ADJUSTMENT AND SENSITIVITY

8.1 Generalities
The standard part V-1 of the I.I.S will be used to find out the actual point and angle of departure, as well as to
calibrate in distance (range) and adjust it on the device screen.
In the case that miniature probes are used, the standard part V-2 of the I.I.S. will be used for distance
calibration.
Adjustment of the range and sensitivity must be made prior to each test, taking into account the influence of
temperature. The temperature during scale adjustment and sensitivity should not differ by more than + 15 ° C
from the temperature during the test
Checks should be made to confirm these settings, at least every 4 hours and at the end of the test. These
checks should also be made when a change in the system parameters is made or equivalent changes in the
settings are suspected.
If deviations greater than 2 dB are found, with respect to 1% of the range, during these checks, the corrective
actions indicated in table 2 must be carried out.

8.2 Reference for sensitivity adjustment
To adjust the reference level one of the following techniques should be used.
a) Technique 1: The reference level is a distance-amplitude curve (DAC) for laterally captured holes 3 mm in diameter.
b) Technique 2: References for longitudinal and transverse waves using the method distance-gain-size (DGS) based
on the diameter of a disk-shaped reflector (DSR) are given in tables 3 and 4 respectively.
c) Technique 3: The reference notch should be rectangular, 1 mm wide and 1 mm deep. This technique applies only for
the thickness range 8 mm £ t <15 mm and for angular probes ≥ 70 °
d) Technique 4: For the tandem technique, the reference is a flat-bottom hole 6 mm in diameter (for all thicknesses),
perpendicular to the scanning surface. This technique is applicable only for 45 ° angle probes and
thicknesses t ≥ 40 mm.
The length of the holes captured laterally and notches should be greater than the width of the ultrasonic beam measured
at - 20 dB.

If the differences are greater than 2 dB but less than 12 dB, compensation should be performed.
If the transfer losses exceed 12 dB, the causes should be taken into consideration and additional, more tho-
rough preparation of the scanning surfaces should be carried out, if possible.
When there are no apparent reasons for high correction values, the attenuation at various positions of the test
object should be measured, and if it is found to vary significantly, corrective action should be considered
Signal to noise ratio
During the welding test, the noise level, excluding false surface discontinuities, must remain at least 12 dB be-
low the evaluation level.

. TEST LEVELS
The quality requirements for welded joints are mainly associated with the material, welding process and ser-
vice conditions. To take into account all these requirements, four levels of test are specified (A, B, C and D)
From test level A to test level C, there is an increase in the probability of detection and in the coverage of
the test, for example, number of scans, improvement of surface finish. Test level D may be agreed for spe-
cial applications using written procedures, taking into account the general requirements of this procedure.
In general, test levels are related to quality levels (for example, from UNE-EN ISO 5817). The appropriate
level of control may be specified by standards related to the control of welds (for example, UEN-EN ISO
17635), by product standards or by other documents.

10. TEST TECHNIQUES

10.1 Manual scan path
The displacement speed of the probe will be adapted to the test conditions, but in no case will it exceed 150
mm / sec.
A minimum overlap of 10% will be made between successive passes in order to ensure 100% coverage of
the examination area
The welding test will generally be performed from the same surface and from both sides of the weld. Geo-
metric conditions may advise or force the test from both surfaces and the same side or opposite sides of the
weld.
Prior to the examination of welding with angular probes, a check of the zone of displacement will be carried
out by means of normal wave probes, in order to discover reflectors or a high attenuation that could interfere
with the angular beam. This exam will not have acceptance or rejection conditions.
During scanning with an angular probe (as shown in Figure 1), a slight fan-shaped movement should be
applied to the probe, reaching an angle of approximately 10 ° to both sides of the nominal beam direction.
The angular probe examination will be conducted in such a way that the sound beam sweeps the entire
weld thickness and adjacent areas and can detect longitudinal, transverse and oblique defects.
10.2 Search for imperfections perpendicular to the test surface
Flat imperfections located below the surface and perpendicular to the test surface are difficult to detect with
simple angular probe techniques. For these discontinuities, specific techniques should be considered, parti-
cularly for welding on thicker materials.

TC40 Rev.5
10.3 Location of discontinuities
The location of all discontinuities must be defined by reference to a coordinate system, for example, as sho-
wn in Figure 2. A point on the test surface should be selected as the origin of these measurements.
When the test is carried out from more than one surface, reference points must be established on each of
them. In this case, an attempt should be made to establish a positional relationship between all the referen-
ce points used, so that an absolute situation of all discontinuities can be established from any reference po-
int.
In the case of circumferential welds, this may require the establishment of internal and external reference
points before welding assembly.
Example of marking on a pipe:
1º Look at the pipe looking at it in the direction of flow.
2º Mark the origin 0 of reference at the top of the pipe.
3º Consider the axis of welding symmetry as a reference.
4º To determine the depth of the defects, the outer surface will be used as a reference.
5º Circumferentially consider the distances measured in the direction of clock hands.
6º Consider the positive side of the test before welding and the subsequent negative.
If for this identification the reports were not enough, these will be accompanied by implementation sketches.

TC40 Rev.5
10.4 Discontinuity Assessment
• 10.4.1 Generalities
All significant discontinuities of any defect above the evaluation level must be evaluated in accordance wi-
th sections 10.4.2 through 10.4.5
• 10.4.2 Maximum echo amplitude
The amplitude of the echo must be maximized by movements of the probe and recorded in relation to
thereference level
Length of discontinuities
• 10.4.3
The length of the discontinuity, both in the longitudinal and transverse directions (lx, ly), should be determi-
ned, if possible, using the technique specified in the LC-34 procedure of acceptance levels, unless othe-
rwise agreed.
• 10.4.4 Discontinuity height
The measurement of the height of the indication should only be carried out if required.
• 10.4.5 Characterization of discontinuities
If specified, the characterization of discontinuities must be carried out in accordance with the ISO Stan-
dard23279.

10.6. ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION LEVELS
10.6.1.- OBJECT AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
Acceptance levels are established here for indications of imperfections in welds by ultrasonic testing.
10.6.2.- ACCEPTANCE LEVELS
The relationship between acceptance levels, test levels and quality levels is established in ISO 17635.
See table 1.
Acceptance levels of this procedure are valid for all test levels and all techniques defined in ISO 17640,
including tests with normal probes.
If the characterization has been specified in accordance with ISO 23279, flat indications are not accep-
table, and for non-flat indications, the acceptance levels of this procedure apply.
If no characterization has been specified, the acceptance levels of this procedure are of Application for
all indications.
1.- Longitudinal indications

Table A.1 provides information on the techniques used for the evaluation of the indications in
accordance with ISO 17640 and the associated evaluation and acceptance levels.


Table A.2 specifies the acceptance levels for technique 2 using transverse waves.

Table A.3 specifies the levels of acceptance for technique 2 using longitudinal waves.

For techniques 1 (side holes) and 3 (rectangular notch), see figures from A.1 to A.4.



For techniques 2 [flat bottom holes (disk-shaped reflectors)] and 4 (tandem technique), see figures
from A.5 to A.8.



Any indication with an amplitude below the acceptance level but with a length (above the evaluation

level) that exceeds t, for the thickness range of 8 mm ≤ t <15 mm, or that
exceed the greater of the two
following values t / 2 or 20 mm, for all other thickness ranges, it must be subject to an additional test.
This requires the use of one or more probes with additional angles, and, if specified, the tandem
technique.
The final evaluation must be based on the maximum amplitude and echo length measured.
2.- Trasverse indications
When cross-indication detection is specified, the acceptance levels set out in section 1 apply.
3.- Grouping of indications

The grouping is based on the length and separation of the individually acceptable indications that have
amplitudes above the record level. The length of a group should not be used for another grouping.
For the evaluation, a group of indications should be considered as a single indication, if:
a) the distance, dx, is less than twice the length of the largest indication (see figure 1);
b) the distance, dy, It´s less than half the thickness but not more than 10 mm;
c) the distance, dz, It is less than half the thickness but not more than 10 mm.
The combined length is:
L12= l1 + l2+ dx
(See figure 2).

The combined length, l12, and the maximum maximum amplitude of two indications must then be
evaluated taking into account the applicable acceptance levels indicated in Table A.1.
4.- Cumulative length of acceptable indications
The length of an acceptable discontinuity isolated above the registration level
should be evaluated according to the criteria in this section.
The cumulative length of all individually acceptable indications above the registration level is given at
the same time by the sum of the lengths of the isolated indications and of the indications aligned in
alignment with a combined length, in a given section of length Welding

For any section of weld length, lw = 6t (t = thickness), the maximum cumulative len
gth Ic of all indications acceptable individually and exceeding the registration level
must NOT exceed 20% of Iw for acceptance level 2, or 30% of Iw for acceptance
level 3.

cations and exceeding t e registration level must not exceed o t is lengt or acceptance level ,

mm.

10.6.3.- Discontinuity measurement technique (Fixed amplitude level technique)
This technique measures the lateral dimensions of an indication on which the echo is equal to or grea-
ter than the evaluation level.
To make a measurement, a scan is made with the beam over the indications, noting the positions of the
probe and the range traveled by the ultrasonic beam in which the echo falls to the evaluation level (po-
sitions 1 and 2 in Figure B.1 ). The lateral dimension, l, is then determined by the distance between po-
sitions 1 and 2.

6. RESPONSIBILITIES.
The responsibility for the execution of the inspection is of the technician who performs it. In the
event that said technician is level I, the responsability for supervision is of level II or III assigned to this
interventions
7. PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION.
7.1. PREVIOUS REQUIREMENTS
7.1.1. Surface state requirements

Surfaces to be examined must be clean and free of grease, scale, projections, oxides or other
irregularities that may interfere with the executions of the inspection.

The removal of these solid materials can be done with metal barbed brushes or by grinding.
The removal of the remains of fats and oils can be done by means of degreasing steam, solvents etc.
The cleaning zone will affect 100% of the test area as well as an adjacent area of abaut 25 mm. wide.
The test area will be completely dry at the time of the test, with the exception of the case in which
particles in aqueous suspension are used in which a total drying is not necessary when the liquid agent
is water.
Non-conductive corrosion protective fils do not significantly influence the detection of discontinuities up
to thicknesses of 0,05 mm (50 m). Of course, the contrast and color of the

LC68 rev.1
magnetic particles must constrast with that of those films. For greater thicknesses, it will be necessary
to demonstrate taht these indications manifest themselves in the same way..
In the case of conductive films, such as chromium plating, calamire or others, from forming operations,
they can mask discontinuities, so it is also necessary to demostrate that this indications can be
revealed whitout having to remove these layers.
7.1.2. Ilumination
• Examinations with visible magnetic particle with natural light.
The lighting is requered to be at least 500 lux in the exam area.
• Examination with fluorescent magnetic particles.

The lighting requered for this test will come from an ultraviolet light lamp with the spectrum centered at
365 m. capable of providing a luminous intensity on the test surface of 1000 W/cm2.
This test needs to be performed in an area with a certain degreeof darkness to achive the greast
possible sharpness in the appreciation of the brighness of the particles, This situation is achieved with
lighting levels below 20 lux.
The Operator must remain at least 1 minute in the exam area before the start of the test. Also, the the
lamp will be on at least 5 minutes before checking the intensity of the black light. This check will be
performed at the beginning of the test and at least every 8 hours of work.
7.2. Personnel requirements.

The exam will be carried out by a level I, II or III in this technique according to the UNE-EN-ISO 9712
standard or equivalent standard. The evaluation will be carried out by a level II or III. If it`s necessary
that the entire inspection and evaluation is carried out by a level II, ti will be agreed with the client prior
to the test.
7.3. Equipment
7.3.1. Magnetization equipment.

Depending on the type of magnetization, the following equipemet will be used:
Magnetization using Yoke.
- Electromagnetic Yoke
Longitudinal and circular magnetization.

LC68 rev.1
- Rectifier transformer DC/AC, with probes and possibility of coil formation. The maximun intesity
supplied by these devices will define the scope of the magnetization.
All magnetization equipment will be in accordance with UNE-EN-ISO 9934-3 y 9934-1.
7.3.2. Magnetic particles.

Whrnever possible, fluorescent wet magnetic particles will be used, logically this depends
fundamentally on whether we can achive the required degree of darkness and if the temperature of the
piece allows it. It´s considered that this temperature should not exceed 40ºC.
In any case, the detection means must always be used within the limits of the temperature range set by
the manufacturer.
When the above premise regarding darkness in not fulfilled, it´s recommended to use the wet particles
visible with natural light.
The concentration of particles, whether visible or fluorescent, will always be carried out in accordance
wit the manufacturers recommendatios.
Dry magnetic particles will be used when the temperature of the piece is greater than 40ºC, or in
cases of rough surfaces or with notches in which excessive accunmulation of the liquid can cause
interpretation problems.
The color of the particles will always be chosen according to the piece to be examined, always trying to
obtain the best possible contrast.
The magnetic particles will be acording to the UNE-EN-ISO 9934-2 standard.
7.3.3. Lighting equipment

In the case of use of fluorescent magnetic particles, and as defined in section 7.1.2, commercial
equipment that meets the established brightness requeriments shall be used.
7.3.4. Magnetic field intensity verification equipment

For the verification of the intensity of the magnetic field, equipment with a measuring range of 0 to 8
kA/m or other equivalet units will be used. This equipment will always be within its valid calibration pe-
riod.

LC68 rev.1
7.3.5. Instruments for the verification of the direction of the magnetic field.
This verification will be carried out with the help of a special indicator for this purpose of different trade-
marks such as the Berthold cross.
7.3.6. Lighting / irradiation measuring equipment

Ilumination / irradiation levels will be determined bay lucometers / radiameters within their valid cali-
bration period.
7.3.7. Other auxiliary equipment

In the case of working with equipment connected to 220 V. and especially ehen the Operator has to
enter metal containers, it´s mandatory to use a circuit-separated supply by means of 220/220 V. isola-
tion transformers for protection against direct contacts.
7.4. PROCESS
7.4.1. CHOICE OF TYPE AND CURRENT OF MAGNETIZATION

Depending on the type, shape, possibility of access and conditions in which the piece is located, the ty-
pe of current and magnetization to be uses will be chosen. Below are some criteria to consider:
• Due to its versatility, the alternating current electromagnetic yoke will be used for all those
inspections in which the geometric chape, size and location of the piece allows it. Examples of this
situation are: welding of ferrules, tubes, beams, etc...
• For the examination of large areas, the use of magnetization electrodes is recommended, taking the
medessary precautions so that no sputtering occurs in the contact area of the electrodes using alter-
nating current whenever possible.
• The examination of bolts, bars or similar shapes must be done through the passage of semi-rectified
or alternating current, directly through the piece itself for the creation of circular magnetization and
by means of a longitudinal coil. In many cases both operations can be carried out with the output
cables of a transformer-rectifier, connecting them first through a special terminal to the ends of the
piece and then creating with them a coil with a diameter somewhat larger than that of the piece and
at least some 4 turns (these will have a certain separation so that they take the form of coil)
alternate.

LC68 rev.1
7.4.2. MAGNETIZATION
7.4.2.1. Directions
At least two magnetizations will always be made so that the flow lines of the second have an
approximately perpendicular direction to those of the first.
7.4.2.2. Magnetic Field Application

Yoke: the coupling of the equipment's legs with the examination surface will be especially careful,
taking into account that when said coupling is not correct, the magnetic field strength should be
checked in each case.
Electrodes: to avoid sizzling in the contact areas, special pads will be used on the tips of the same that
allow a good coupling of them with the examination surface.
It is usually practical to use copper mesh
that can be taken to the electrode by means of a clamp.If even taking the precautions described in any
case, an arc occurs, this area must be re-examined to verify that no cracks have occurred, especially
in tho-se materials with special characteristics of self-employment.
7.4.2.3. Sequence of the operation

The continuous sequence will always be used, that is, the particles will be applied during the time the
magnetization takes place. The magnetization is done in at least twice with a typical duration of ½
second each.
7.4.2.4. Surface to magnetize

The exam surface will always be magnetized at 100% of its extension. Special attention should be paid
to ensure adequate overlap of the test areas, always covering part of the previously magnetized area
with that of the new magnetization.
7.4.2.5. Verification of magnetic field strength

In all magnetization operations it will be necessary to verify the adequacy of the surface flux density
that we have in the examination area. This check can be done using a special equipment for this
purpose, taking into account that the intensity value will be between 2 and 6 kA / m. (intensity of the
tangential magnetic field).

LC68 rev.1
In special cases the field strength can be estimated by calculations based on the thicknesses,
diameters, electrode separation, number of turns and current intensity. In these cases, level II or III will
provide the appropriate data for the test to the Operator.
7.5 DEMAGNETIZATION
In cases where demagnetization is required, this situation must be anticipated before the start of the
test, since most of the means of magnetization are not sufficient to proceed with this operation.
Therefore, in all these cases the Operator will request information at level II or III, before the start of the
inspection.
7.6. RESULTS REPORTS

All test data will be reflected in the formats contemplated in procedure PA-01.
7.7. TEST REPORTS

The test report will be expressed in specific forms whose model is contemplated in procedure
PA-01.
7.8. CRITERIA OF ACCEPTANCE

The acceptance criteria depending on the specification that the test has to meet are defined in the LC-
