Non-destructive testing - Characterization and verification of ultrasonic phased array equipment - Part 3: Complete systems (ISO 18563-3:2024)

This document addresses ultrasonic test systems implementing array probes, for contact technique (with or without wedge) or for immersion technique, with centre frequencies in the range of 0,5 MHz to 10 MHz.
This document provides methods and acceptance criteria for determining the compliance of the complete system (see 3.2). Its purpose is for the verification of the correct operation of the system prior to testing or verification of the absence of degradation of the system.
The methods are not intended to prove the suitability of the system for particular applications but are intended to prove the capability of the complete system (used for an application) to operate correctly according to the settings used. Tests can be performed on individual ultrasonic beams (for phased array technique, see 9.4.4) or on resulting images (for phased array technique and total focusing technique, see 9.4.3).
The tests can be limited to the functions that are intended to be used for a certain application.
This document does not cover the sensitivity setting of the system for a specific application. Nor does it apply to the characterization or verification of the mechanical scanning equipment. It is intended that these items will be covered by the test procedure.
This document does not address the phased array technique using tandem technique.
The characterization of beams, as recommended in case of dead elements or for more in-depth knowledge of the beams, is presented in Annex A. It is not applicable for signal processing technology using arrays.
NOTE            Unless stated otherwise, in this document ‘TFM’ and ‘TFM technique’ refer to the total focusing technique as defined in ISO 23243, and to related techniques, see for example ISO 23865 and ISO 23234.

Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung - Charakterisierung und Verifizierung der Ultraschall-Prüfausrüstung mit phasengesteuerten Arrays - Teil 3: Vollständige Prüfsysteme (ISO 18563-3:2024)

Dieses Dokument beschäftigt sich mit Ultraschallprüfsystemen mit Array-Prüfköpfen für die Kontakttechnik (mit oder ohne Vorsatzkeil) oder für die Tauchtechnik mit Mittenfrequenzen im Bereich von 0,5 MHz bis 10 MHz.
Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren und Zulässigkeitskriterien zur Feststellung der Konformität des vollständigen Prüfsystems fest (siehe 3.2). Es dient dazu, den ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb des Prüfsystems vor der Prüfung zu verifizieren oder zu verifizieren, dass sich die Leistung des Prüfsystems nicht verschlechtert hat.
Diese Verfahren dienen nicht dem Nachweis der Eignung des Prüfsystems für bestimmte Anwendungen, sondern dem Nachweis, dass das Gesamtprüfsystem, welches für eine Anwendung genutzt wird, entsprechend den verwendeten Einstellungen korrekt funktioniert. Die Prüfungen können an einzelnen Ultraschallbündeln (bei der Phased-Array-Technik, siehe 9.4.4) oder an den resultierenden Bildern (bei der Phased-Array-Technik und der Technik der vollständigen Fokussierung, siehe 9.4.3) durchgeführt werden.
Die Prüfungen können auf die Funktionen beschränkt werden, die für eine bestimmte Anwendung vorgesehen sind.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die Empfindlichkeitseinstellung des Prüfsystems für eine bestimmte Anwendung. Es ist auch nicht für die Charakterisierung oder Verifizierung der mechanischen Abtastausrüstung anwendbar. Es ist vorgesehen, dass diese Punkte durch das Prüfverfahren abgedeckt werden.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit der Phased-Array-Technik, die die Tandemtechnik verwendet.
Die Charakterisierung von Schallbündeln, wie sie im Falle von toten Elementen oder für fundierteres Wissen über Schallbündel empfohlen wird, ist in Anhang A dargestellt. Er ist nicht anwendbar auf die Signalverarbeitungstechnik mit Arrays.
ANMERKUNG   Sofern nicht anders angegeben, beziehen sich in diesem Dokument die Begriffe „TFM“ und „TFM-Technik“ auf die Technik der vollständigen Fokussierung (TFM, en: total focusing technique), wie in ISO 23243 definiert, und auf verwandte Techniken, siehe z. B. ISO 23865 und ISO 23234.

Essais non destructifs - Caractérisation et vérification de l’appareillage ultrasonore multiélément - Partie 3: Systèmes complets (ISO 18563-3:2024)

Le présent document concerne l'appareillage d'essais par ultrasons équipé de traducteurs multiéléments, dans le cadre de techniques par contact (avec ou sans sabot) ou en immersion, avec des fréquences centrales comprises entre 0,5 MHz et 10 MHz.
Le présent document fournit des méthodes et des critères d'acceptation permettant de statuer sur la conformité du système complet (voir 3.2) L'objectif du présent document est de vérifier le bon fonctionnement du système avant les essais ou de vérifier l'absence de dérive du système.
Les méthodes ne sont pas destinées à démontrer l'adéquation du système avec des applications particulières, mais à confirmer l'aptitude du système complet (utilisé pour une application) à fonctionner correctement en fonction des réglages utilisés. Les essais peuvent être réalisés sur des faisceaux ultrasonores individuels (pour la technique multiélément, voir 9.4.4) ou sur les images résultantes (pour la technique multiélément et la technique de focalisation en tous points, voir 9.4.3).
Les essais peuvent être limités aux fonctions destinées à être utilisées dans le cadre d'une application donnée.
Le présent document ne couvre pas le réglage de la sensibilité du système pour une application spécifique. Il ne s'applique pas non plus à la caractérisation ou la vérification de l'équipement de balayage mécanique. Ces éléments sont censés être couverts par la procédure d'essai.
Le présent document ne traite pas la technique multiélément fonctionnant en méthode tandem.
La caractérisation des faisceaux, comme recommandé en cas d'éléments morts ou pour obtenir une connaissance plus approfondie des faisceaux, est présentée à l'Annexe A. Elle n'est pas applicable à la technologie de traitement du signal à l'aide de réseaux.
NOTE            Sauf indication contraire, dans le présent document, les termes «FTP» et «technique FTP» font référence à la technique de focalisation en tous points, telle que définie dans l'ISO 23243, et aux techniques connexes; voir par exemple l'ISO 23865 et l'ISO 23234.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
