Non-destructive testing - Characterization and verification of ultrasonic test equipment - Part 3: Combined equipment (ISO 22232-3:2020)
This International Standard describes methods and acceptance criteria for verifying the performance of ultrasonic equipment (i.e. instrument and probe combined as defined in Part 1 and Part 2) by the use of appropriate standard calibration blocks. These methods are not intended to prove the suitability of the equipment for particular applications. The methods described are suitable for the use by operators working under site or shop floor conditions. The methods only apply to pulse echo equipment using Ascan presentation, with gain controls or attenuators calibrated in steps not greater than 2 dB and used essentially in contact testing. These methods are specifically intended for manual testing equipment.
For automated testing different tests can be needed to ensure satisfactory performance.
Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung - Charakterisierung und Verifizierung der Ultraschall-Prüfausrüstung - Teil 3: Komplette Prüfausrüstung (ISO 22232-3:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren, Grenzabweichungen und Zulässigkeitskriterien zur Verifizierung der Leistungsfähigkeit der kompletten Ultraschallprüfausrüstung (d. h. Prüfgerät, Prüfköpfe und angeschlossene Kabel) durch die Anwendung geeigneter genormter Kalibrierkörper fest.
Diese Verfahren sind insbesondere für manuelle Prüfausrüstung vorgesehen, d. h. für Ultraschallgeräte nach ISO 22232 1 und für manuelle zerstörungsfreie Ultraschallprüfungen mit Einschwinger- oder SE-Prüfköpfen nach ISO 22232 2. Dieses Dokument ist auch bei Mehrkanalgeräten anwendbar. Für automatisierte Prüfausrüstungen können andere Überprüfungen erforderlich sein, um eine zufriedenstellende Leistung sicherzustellen.
Die festgelegten Verfahren sind für die Anwendung durch Prüfer unter den Bedingungen am Prüfort oder der Fertigungsstätte vorgesehen.
Diese Verfahren sind nicht dazu gedacht, die Eignung der Prüfausrüstung für bestimmte Anwendungen nachzuweisen.
Dieses Dokument schließt Ultraschallgeräte für Dauerschall aus.
Dieses Dokument schließt ebenfalls Ultraschallsysteme mit phasengesteuerten Arrays aus, siehe ISO 18563 3. Wenn ein Gerät mit phasengesteuerten Arrays in Kombination mit Einschwinger- oder SE-Prüfköpfen angewendet wird, gilt dieses Dokument für diese Kombination.
Essais non destructifs - Caractérisation et vérification de l'appareillage de contrôle par ultrasons - Partie 3: Equipement complet (ISO 22232-3:2020)
Le présent document spécifie les méthodes, les tolérances et les critères d'acceptation permettant de vérifier les performances des équipements complets de contrôle par ultrasons (c'est-à-dire l'appareil, les traducteurs et les câbles connectés), en utilisant des blocs d'étalonnage normalisés appropriés.
Ces méthodes sont spécifiquement destinées aux équipements de contrôle manuel, c'est-à-dire les appareils de contrôle par ultrasons conformes à l'ISO 22232-1, et aux contrôles manuels non destructifs par ultrasons avec des traducteurs à transducteur simple ou à émetteur et récepteur séparés conformes à l'ISO 22232-2. Le présent document s'applique également aux appareils multivoies. Pour les équipements de contrôle automatisés, des essais différents peuvent être nécessaires pour garantir des performances satisfaisantes.
Les méthodes spécifiées sont destinées à être mises en application par les opérateurs travaillant aussi bien sur site qu'en atelier.
Ces méthodes ne sont pas destinées à prouver d'adéquation de l'équipement à des applications particulières.
Le présent document exclut les appareils de contrôle par ultrasons à ondes continues.
Le présent document exclut également les systèmes de contrôle par ultrasons en multiéléments (voir par exemple l'ISO 18563-3). Si un appareil en multiéléments est utilisé conjointement avec des traducteurs à transducteur simple ou à émetteur et récepteur séparés, le présent document s'applique à cette combinaison.

Part 3:
Combined equipment
1 Scope
This document specifies methods, tolerances and acceptance criteria for verifying the performance
of combined ultrasonic test equipment (i.e. instrument, probes and cables connected) by the use of
appropriate standard calibration blocks.
These methods are specifically intended for manual test equipment, i.e. ultrasonic instruments
according to ISO 22232-1, and for manual ultrasonic non-destructive testing with single- or dual-
transducer probes according to ISO 22232-2. This document is also applicable for multi-channel
instruments. For automated test equipment, different tests can be needed to ensure satisfactory
performance.
The specified methods are intended for the use by operators working under site or shop floor conditions.
These methods are not intended to prove the suitability of the equipment for particular applications.
This document excludes ultrasonic instruments for continuous waves.
This document also excludes ultrasonic phased array systems, see e. g. ISO 18563-3. If a phased array
instrument is used in combination with single- or dual-transducer probes, this document is applicable
to this combination.
