Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic examination - Part 4: Examination for discontinuities perpendicular to the surface

This European Standard defines the principles for tandem- and LLT -examination for the detection of discontinuities perpendicular to the surface.
The general principles required for the ultrasonic examination of industrial products are described in EN 583-1. A list of symbols and equations is given in EN 583-2.
The tandem- or LLT-examination should be used for the detection of planar discontinuities with distance to the surface greater than 15 mm. This European Standard has been prepared for the examination of metallic materials 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.

Diese Europäische Norm definiert Grundlagen für die Tandemprüfung und die LLT )-Prüfung für den Nachweis von Inhomogenitäten, die senkrecht zur Oberfläche orientiert sind.
Die für die Ultraschallprüfung von Industrieprodukten notwendigen allgemeinen Grundlagen sind in EN 583-1 beschrieben. Eine Liste mit Symbolen und Gleichungen ist in EN 583-2 angegeben.
Die Tandem- oder die LLT-Prüfung sollte für den Nachweis von ebenen Inhomogenitäten mit einem Abstand zur Oberfläche von mehr als 15 mm angewendet werden. Diese Europäische Norm wurde für die Prüfung von metallischen Werk-stoffen 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.

This European Standard defines the principles for tandem- and LLT -examination for the detection of discontinuities
perpendicular to the surface.
The general principles required for the ultrasonic examination of industrial products are described in EN 583-1. A list of
symbols and equations is given in EN 583-2.
The tandem- or LLT-examination should be used for the detection of planar discontinuities with distance to the surface
greater than 15 mm. This standard has been prepared for the examination of metallic materials 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.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated
references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only
when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred
to applies (including amendments).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions of EN 1330-4 apply.
4 Tandem examination
4.1 General
o
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.
The use of probe angles other than 45° may be necessary to comply with particular geometrical conditions. Probe
angles that give rise to mode conversions shall be avoided.
The probes are located in a line with their acoustic axis in the same direction. In this way the sound beam from the rear
probe will, after reflection from the opposite surface, intersect the sound beam from the front probe at the centre of the
examination zone.
Figure 1 shows the relationship between the spacing of the probes (y) and the examination depth of the crosspoint
(t ) and the height of the examination zone (t ).

Figure 1  Basic principle of tandem technique
When examining objects with plane parallel surfaces the distance between the probes can be defined using the
following equation:
y = 2 tan a (d – t ) (1)
m
for 45°
y = 2 (d – t )
m
Scanning shall be performed in either of the following ways:
 both probes are moved along the surfaces with a fixed distance (y).
In this way only one examination zone is examined at a time, and the scanning shall be repeated with different
probe distance until the complete examination volume has been examined;
 both probes are moved simultaneously, such that the sum of their distances from the required plane of
intersection, e.g. the vertical weld axis, remains constant, thereby scanning the full object thickness in one
continuous movement.
4.2 Time base adjustment
Basically all relevant echoes will appear at the same sound path distance, which corresponds to the V-path. Therefore,
