EN 10246-16:2000
(Main)Non-destructive testing of steel tubes - Part 16: Automatic ultrasonic testing of the area adjacent to the weld seam of welded steel tubes for the detection of laminar imperfections
General Information
- Abstract
This Part of EN 10246 specifies requirements for the ultrasonic testing of the area adjacent to the weld of welded steel tubes for the detection of laminar imperfections. The standard specifies acceptance levels and calibration procedures. Note: This inspection may alternatively, in accordance with EN 10246-15, be carried out on longitudinal edges of strip/plate (using in the manufacture of welded tubes) in the flat form prior to seam welding.
