Non-Destructive Testing of Welds – Ultrasonic Testing – Acceptance Levels 1 Scope This Document specifies two ultrasonic acceptance levels known as acceptance level 2 (AL 2) and acceptance level 3 (AL 3) for full penetration welded joints in ferritic steels, which correspond to ISO 5817:2014, quality levels B and C. An acceptance level corresponding to ISO 5817:2014, quality level D is not included in this document, as ultrasonic testing is generally not requested for this weld quality. These acceptance levels are applicable to testing carried out in accordance with ISO 17640. This Document applies to the testing of full penetration ferritic steel welds, with thicknesses from 8 mm to 100 mm. It can also be used for other types of welds, materials and thicknesses, provided the tests have been performed with necessary consideration of the geometry and acoustic properties of the component, and an adequate sensitivity can be employed to enable the acceptance levels of this document to be applied. The nominal frequency of probes used in this document is between 2 MHz and 5 MHz, unless attenuation or requirements for higher resolution call for other frequencies. It is important to consider the use of these acceptance levels in conjunction with frequencies outside this range carefully. 2 Normative References The provisions in following documents become the essential provisions of this Document through reference in this Document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this Document; for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) is applicable to this Document.

For techniques 1 (side-drilled holes) and 3 (rectangular notch), see Figures A.1 to A.4. For techniques 2 [flat-bottomed holes (disk-shaped reflectors)] and 4 (tandem technique), see Figures A.5 to A.10. Any discontinuities providing an amplitude below the acceptance level but with a length (above evaluation level) exceeding t, a) for the thickness range of 8 mm ≤ t < 15 mm, or b) for t/2 or 20 mm, whichever is larger; for all other thickness ranges beyond the provisions a). It shall be subject to further testing. This requires the use of additional beam angle(s), and, if specified, the tandem technique. The final evaluation shall be based on the maximum echo amplitude and the measured length. 6.3 Indications from transverse discontinuities When detection of transverse discontinuities is specified, the acceptance levels stated in 6.2 apply. 6.4 Grouping of discontinuities Grouping of discontinuities is based on the length and the separation of individually acceptable discontinuities providing amplitudes above the recording level. The length of a group shall not be used for further grouping. For evaluation, a group of discontinuities shall be considered as a single one if: a) the distance, dx, between two discontinuities is less than twice the length of the longer discontinuity (see Figure 1); b) the distance, dy, between two discontinuities is less than half of the thickness but not more than 10 mm; and c) the distance, dz, between two discontinuities is less than half of the thickness but not more than 10 mm. The combined length of the group of two discontinuities is l12=l1+l2+dx (see Figure 2). The combined length, l12, and the larger maximum amplitude of the two discontinuities shall then be assessed against the applicable acceptance levels given in Table A.1. ......

This standard, through the redrafting method, modifies and adopts the ISO 11666.2010 “Non-destructive testing of welds - Ultrasonic testing - Acceptance levels” (English version). As compared with ISO 11666.2010, the main technical differences of this standard and their causes are as follows. - Regarding the normative reference documents, in order to adapt to the technical conditions of China, the following adjustments were made. • USE GB/T 19418 which equivalently adopts international standard to replace ISO 5817 (see 5.1); • USE GB/T 11345 which equivalently adopts international standard to replace ISO 17640 (see 1, 5.1, 5.2); • USE GB/T 29711 which equivalently adopts international standard to replace ISO 23279 (see 5.1); • DELETE the ISO 17635 standard, INCLUDE its relevant content directly to the text (see 5.1). This standard was proposed and shall be under the jurisdiction of the National Welding Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC 55). Drafting organizations of this standard. Shanghai Materials Research Institute, China Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute, Jiangsu Fangtian Power Technology Co., Ltd., Jining Ruixiang Mould Co., Ltd. (Shandong Jining Mould Factory). The main drafters of this standard. Ding Jie, Jin Yufei, Jiang Wei, Zhuang Zhiqiang, Zheng Hui, Ma Junpeng, Wei Zhongrui, Wang Sen, Zhang Wenjie, Ma Jun, Xi Lifeng. Non-destructive testing of welds - Ultrasonic testing - Acceptance levels 1 Scope This standard specifies the ultrasonic acceptance level 2 and 3 for full penetration welded joints in ferritic steels, which correspond to the quality levels B and C welds in GB/T 19418. Since the level D welds usually do not require ultrasonic testing in GB/T 19418, there is no ultrasonic testing acceptance level corresponding to the quality level D weld requirements in GB/T 19418. The acceptance levels of this standard apply to ultrasonic testing in accordance with GB/T 11345. This standard applies to the examination of full penetration ferritic steel welds, with thicknesses from 8 mm to 100 mm. It can also be used for other types of welds, materials and thicknesses above 100 mm, provided that the examinations have been performed with necessary consideration of the geometry and acoustic properties of the component, and an adequate sensitivity can be employed to enable the acceptance levels of this standard to be applied. Unless attenuation or requirements for higher resolution call for other frequencies, the nominal frequency of probes used in this standard is between 2M Hz and 5 MHz. The use of these acceptance levels in conjunction with frequencies outside this range needs to be considered carefully. 2 Normative references The following documents are essential to the application of this document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this document; for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) are applicable to this standard. GB/T 11345 Non-destructive testing of welds - Ultrasonic testing - Techniques, testing levels, and assessment (GB/T 11345-2013, ISO 17640.2010, MOD) GB/T 19418 Arc-welded joints in steel - Guidance on quality levels for imperfections (GB/T 19418-2003, ISO 5817.1992, IDT) GB/T 29711 Non-destructive testing of welds - Ultrasonic testing - Characterization of indications in welds (GB/T 29711-2013, ISO 23279.2010, IDT) 3 Measurement of indication length The length of an indication shall be determined by measuring the distance along the length over which the echo amplitude is above the evaluation level, using the fixed amplitude level technique as specified in Appendix B. Alternative techniques for measuring indication length may be used when specified. 4 Sensitivity setting and levels The sensitivity setting and subsequent weld examination shall use the same techniques. The setting of sensitivity may select one of the following techniques. a) Side-drilled hole technology. based on a 3 mm diameter side-drilled hole; b) Flat-bottom hole technology. distance-gain-size (DGS) curve based on flat-bottom holes; c) Rectangular notch technology. a distance-amplitude-corrected (DAC) curve of a rectangular notch of 1 mm depth and 1 mm width; d) Tandem technology. a tandem technique based on a 6 mm diameter flat- bottom hole. This standard uses four levels as specified in GB/T 11345. 1) Reference level; 2) Evaluation level; 3) Recording level (corresponding to two acceptance levels, the values are all derived from the relevant acceptance level - 4 dB); 4) Acceptance level (corresponding to two quality levels). The specifications for all levels corresponding to the reference reflector are given in Table A.1. The provisions for the levels are given in Appendix A. a) t, for the plate thickness range 8 mm ≤ t ≤ 15 mm; b) t/2 or 15 mm, whichever is greater, for the plate thickness t > 15 mm. Further testing shall be preferred, which requires the use of probes from other angles, as well as tandem testing (if agreed). The final assessment shall be based on the highest echo amplitude indicated and the measured length. 5.3 Transverse indications When it is specified to detect the transverse indication, the acceptance level is applied as described in 5.2. 5.4 Grouping of indications The grouping is based on the length and the separation of the two individually acceptable indications which have amplitudes above the recording level. The length of a group shall not be used for further grouping. For evaluation, a group of indications shall be considered as a single one, if. a) The distance dx, is less than 2 times the length of the longer indication (see Figure 1); b) The distance dy, is less than half of the thickness of the plate but not more than 10 mm; c) The distance dz, is less than half of the thickness of the plate but not more than 10 mm. The combined length (see Figure 2) is shown in formula (1). l12 = l1 + l2 + dx ...(1) The combined length l12, and the larger maximum amplitude of the two indications shall then be assessed against the applicable acceptance levels as given in Table A.1. ......
