• Effective Date: 03-Jul-2019

Overview

SIST EN ISO 10893-10:2011/A1:2020 is an essential international standard governing the non-destructive testing (NDT) of steel tubes. This amendment to the original 2011 standard focuses on automated full peripheral ultrasonic testing for seamless and welded steel tubes, excluding submerged arc-welded types. The update introduces significant changes to the ultrasonic test frequency ranges and revises the acceptance criteria for identifying longitudinal and transverse imperfections in steel tubes. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 17 (Steel) in collaboration with CEN Technical Committee 459/SC 10, this amendment ensures enhanced reliability and accuracy in ultrasonic testing processes.

Key Topics

• Automated Ultrasonic Testing
  This standard mandates automated ultrasonic testing performed circumferentially over the entire surface of steel tubes. The method efficiently detects internal imperfections such as cracks, laps, inclusions, or other discontinuities that may impact tube integrity.

• Ultrasonic Frequency Adjustments
  Amendment 1 updates the ultrasonic frequency requirements:

  • Shear wave technique: 1 MHz to 15 MHz (unchanged)
  • Lamb wave technique: Expanded from 0.3 MHz – 1 MHz to 0.3 MHz – 5 MHz
    This frequency range adjustment enhances test sensitivity across a wider variety of tube thicknesses and surface conditions.

• Revised Acceptance Criteria
  The change reduces retesting requirements from two consecutive retests to a single retest for signals exceeding trigger/alarm levels. This streamlines inspection efforts, reduces testing time, and allows quicker determination of tube fitness or suspect status.

• Scope Clarification
  The amendment explicitly excludes submerged arc-welded steel tubes from this ultrasonic testing method, focusing on seamless and other welded tubes.

• Standard Framework and Compliance
  As a CEN-endorsed EN ISO standard, it is implemented across European national bodies. Compliance is mandatory from January 2021, ensuring harmonized inspection criteria across the steel tube industry.

Applications

• Steel Tube Manufacturing Quality Control
  Manufacturers of seamless and welded steel tubes apply this standard to ensure product quality before shipment. Automated ultrasonic testing helps detect hidden flaws that may compromise structural integrity.

• Pipeline and Mechanical Component Inspection
  Tubes used in pipelines, heat exchangers, automotive parts, and industrial machinery benefit from this non-destructive method to verify absence of harmful longitudinal or transverse imperfections.

• Safety and Compliance in Pressure Applications
  Steel tubes utilized under pressure conditions require stringent inspection. Adhering to SIST EN ISO 10893-10:2011/A1:2020 aids in validating tubes meet safety regulations and technical delivery requirements.

• Research and Development
  Standardized testing frequencies and acceptance criteria support R&D activities aimed at improving ultrasonic equipment capabilities and tubing material performance.

Related Standards

• EN ISO 10893 Series
  Covers various other non-destructive testing methods and parts related to steel tubes, complementing Part 10’s ultrasonic focus.

• ISO 11960
  Specification for seamless and welded steel pipelines in the oil and natural gas industries, often requiring NDT in accordance with ISO 10893-10 techniques.

• EN ISO 15614
  Pertains to welding procedure tests, linked to welded tubes subject to ultrasonic inspection for weld quality verification.

• EN 10216 / EN 10217
  These steel tube standards specify technical delivery conditions and often reference ultrasonic testing requirements in their quality assurance clauses.

---

By implementing SIST EN ISO 10893-10:2011/A1:2020, steel tube producers and users can leverage advanced ultrasonic inspection methods to achieve higher confidence in tube integrity, enhance product safety, and comply with global quality standards. The amendment’s optimized test frequencies and streamlined acceptance criteria reflect modern practices and technological advances in ultrasonic NDT.
