Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic testing - Examination for discontinuities perpendicular to the surface (ISO 16826:2012)
EN ISO 16826 defines the principles for tandem- and longitudinal-longitudinal-transverse (LLT)wave examination for the detection of discontinuities perpendicular to the surface. The general principles required for the ultrasonic examination of industrial products are described in ISO 16810. A list of symbols and equations is given in ISO 16811. The tandem- or LLT-examination should be used for the detection of planar discontinuities with distance to the surface greater than 15 mm. This International Standard has been prepared for the examination of metallic ma-terials with a thickness between 40 mm and 500 mm with parallel or concentric surfaces. It can, however, be used for other materials and smaller thickness provided special measures are taken.
Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung - Ultraschallprüfung - Prüfung auf Inhomogenitäten senkrecht zur Oberfläche (ISO 16826:2012)
Diese Internationale Norm legt die Grundlagen fest für die Tandemprüfung und die Longitudinal-Longitudinal-Transversal-Prüfung (LLT-Prüfung) für den Nachweis von Inhomogenitäten, die senkrecht zur Oberfläche orientiert sind.
Die für die Ultraschallprüfung von Industrieprodukten notwendigen allgemeinen Grundlagen sind in ISO 16810 beschrieben. ISO 16811 enthält eine Liste mit Symbolen und Gleichungen.
Die Tandem- oder die LLT-Prüfung sollte zum Nachweis von ebenen Inhomogenitäten mit einem Abstand zur Oberfläche von mehr als 15 mm angewendet werden. Diese Internationale Norm wurde für die Prüfung von metallischen Werkstoffen mit einer Dicke zwischen 40 mm und 500 mm und parallelen oder konzentrischen Oberflächen erstellt. Unter der Voraussetzung, dass besondere Maßnahmen ergriffen werden, kann sie jedoch für andere Werkstoffe und geringere Dicken angewendet werden.
Essais non destructifs - Contrôle par ultrasons - Contrôle des discontinuités perpendiculaires à la surface (ISO 16826:2012)
L'ISO 16826:2012 définit les principes généraux du contrôle par les techniques du tandem et des ondes longitudinales et longitudinales-transversales (LLT) pour la détection des discontinuités perpendiculaires à la surface.
Les principes généraux du contrôle par ultrasons des produits industriels sont décrits dans l'ISO 16810. La liste des symboles et des équations est donnée dans l'ISO 16811.
Il convient d'utiliser le contrôle en tandem ou LLT pour détecter des discontinuités planes situées à plus de 15 mm de la surface. La présente Norme internationale a été élaborée pour contrôler les matériaux métalliques dont l'épaisseur est comprise entre 40 mm et 500 mm, et ayant des surfaces parallèles ou concentriques. Elle peut toutefois être utilisée pour d'autres matériaux et des épaisseurs inférieures, à condition que des mesures spécifiques soient prises.
Neporušitvene preiskave - Ultrazvočne preiskave - Preiskave za odkrivanje nehomogenosti, ki potekajo pravokotno na površino (ISO 16826:2012)
Standard EN ISO 16826 opredeljuje načela za preiskavo s tandemskim in longitudinalno-longitudinalno-tranzverzalnim (LTT) valovanjem za odkrivanje nehomogenosti, ki potekajo pravokotno na površino. Osnovna načela za uporabo ultrazvočnih preiskav industrijskih izdelkov so opisana v standardu ISO 16810. Seznam simbolov in enačb je podan v standardu 16811. Tandemska preiskava ali preiskava LTT se uporablja za zaznavanje planarnih nehomogenosti z razdaljo od površine, večjo od 15 mm. Ta mednarodni standard je bil pripravljen za pregled kovinskih materialov z debelino med 40 in 500 mm in vzporednimi ali koncentričnimi površinami. Lahko se uporablja tudi za materiale druge vrste in manjše debeline, če je poskrbljeno za posebne ukrepe.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

4.1 General
The examination is normally carried out using two similar 45° angle probes, one probe operating as the
transmitter and the other probe as receiver. For wall thicknesses greater than approximately 160 mm, probes
with different transducer sizes are preferred in order to ensure approximately the same beam diameters in the
examination zone.
