The ultrasonic waves propagate in the sample under test through the coupling medium. If they encounter defects (heterogeneous interfaces), they will generate reflected waves and refracted waves, which will be received by the probe. The piezoelectric crystal in the probe converts the ultrasonic waves into electrical signals, which are received by the instrument for signal processing, amplification, display. The displayed information is compared with the ultrasonic response signal of the known ultrasonic reference reflector specified in the acceptance standard; the value and position of the detected defects are evaluated, to assess the quality of the sample under test. Note 1.Due to the surface state, geometric shape, inclination of the ultrasonic beam perpendicular to the incident surface of the sample under test, the amplitude of the defect and the bottom reflection wave may be reduced. These factors will seriously reduce the reliability of the test results of the ultrasonic inspection method specified in this document. Note 2.The assessment of the defect equivalent value is affected by factors such as the characteristics of the probe, the surface state of the defect, the nature and shape of the defect. The comparison and assessment of the ultrasonic inspection defect test data specified in this document with the data of the recognized ultrasonic reference reflector test is carried out under restricted conditions; it is difficult to determine the actual size of the defect detected in the sample under test. Note 3.Because there are many variables in the inspection system that affect the results of ultrasonic inspection, it is difficult to determine the actual quantitative impact of the detected defects on the mechanical properties of the inspected samples. Although this method provides a reliable method for quality control in product manufacturing, it is inappropriate to use it as a special indication of the final performance and quality of the product processing workpiece inspected in this document.5 Inspection conditions5.1 Inspectors 5.1.1 Ultrasonic inspectors shall pass the training and examination of the nationally recognized or customer-recognized non-destructive testing professional certification body; obtain the corresponding level of qualification certificate. 5.1.2 Ultrasonic inspectors shall perform ultrasonic inspection work, in accordance with the technical level of their qualification certificates. 5.1.3 Ultrasonic inspectors shall also receive training on the operation of this document, inspection procedures, inspection equipment before taking up their posts.
