Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic testing - General principles (ISO 16810:2024)

ISO 16810:2012 defines the general principles required for the ultra­sonic examination of industrial products that permit the trans­mis­sion of ultrasound.
The specific conditions of application and use of ultrasonic examination, which depend on the type of product examined, are described in documents which could include: a) product standards; b) specifications; c) codes; d) contractual documents; e) written procedures.
Unless otherwise specified in the referencing documents the minimum requirements of ISO 16810:2012 are applicable.
ISO 16810:2012 does not define: 1) extent of examination and scanning plans; 2) acceptance criteria.

Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung - Ultraschallprüfung - Allgemeine Grundsätze (ISO 16810:2024)

Dieses Dokument legt die allgemeinen Grundsätze fest, die bei der Ultraschallprüfung von industriellen Erzeugnissen, in denen die Ausbreitung von Ultraschall möglich ist, gelten.
Die besonderen Bedingungen der Anwendung und Durchführung von Ultraschallprüfungen, die von der Art des zu prüfenden Erzeugnisses abhängen, sind in Dokumenten beschrieben, zu denen Folgende zählen können:
   Produktnormen;
   Spezifikationen;
   Regeln;
   vertragliche Vereinbarungen;
   schriftliche Verfahren.
Sofern in den verwiesenen Dokumenten nichts anderes festgelegt ist, legt dieses Dokument die geltenden Mindestanforderungen fest.
Dieses Dokument legt Folgendes nicht fest:
   den Prüfumfang und die Abtastpläne;
   die Zulässigkeitskriterien.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt lediglich konventionelle Prüfköpfe, die allgemeinen Grundsätze der Ultraschallprüfung gelten jedoch auch für die Ultraschallprüfung mit Arraytechniken. Wenn Arraytechniken angewendet werden, können zusätzliche Schritte oder Verifizierungen erforderlich sein.

Essais non destructifs - Contrôle par ultrasons - Principes généraux (ISO 16810:2024)

L'ISO 16810:2012 définit les principes généraux du contrôle ultrasonore des produits industriels perméables aux ondes ultrasonores.
Les conditions particulières d'application et d'utilisation des contrôles ultrasonores, qui dépendent du type de produit examiné, font l'objet de documents tels que normes de produit, spécifications, codes, documents contractuels et procédures écrites.
Sauf indications contraires dans les documents de référence, les exigences minimales de l'ISO 16810:2012 sont applicables.
L'ISO 16810:2012 ne définit pas l'étendue des essais et des plans de contrôle et les critères d'acceptation.
