EN 10246-5:1999
(Main)Non-destructive testing of steel tubes - Part 5: Automatic full peripheral magnetic transducer/flux leakage testing of seamless and welded (except submerged arc welded) ferromagnetic steel tubes for the detection of longitudinal imperfections
General Information
- Abstract
This Part of EN 10246 specifies the requirements for automatic full peripheral magnetic transducer/flux leakage testing of seamless and welded ferromagnetic steel tubes, with the exception of submerged arc welded (SAW) tubes, for the detection of longitudinal imperfections. The standard specifies acceptance levels, calibration procedures and gives guidance on the limitations of the tests. This Part of EN 10246 is applicable to the inspection of tubes with an outside diameter equal to or greater than 10 mm. European Standard EN 10246 "Non-destructive testing of steel tubes" comprises the Parts shown in Annex A.
