ECISS/TC 28/WG 1 - Steel forgings - Non destructive testing

This Part of EN 10228 specifies methods for the manual, pulse-echo, ultrasonic testing of forgings manufactured from austenitic and austenitic-ferritic stainless steels. Mechanised scanning techniques, such as immersion testing, may be used but should be agreed between the purchaser and supplier.

This Part of EN 10228 describes the method and acceptance criteria to be used for the magnetic particle inspection of forgings manufactured from ferromagnetic materials. The method described is used for the detection of surface discontinuities. It can also detect discontinuities just below the surface but sensitivity to such discontinuities diminishes rapidly with depth.

This part of EN 10228 describes the method and acceptance criteria to be used for the penetrant testing of steel forgings. The method described is used for the detection of surface discontinuities.

This part of EN 10228 describes the techniques to be used for the manual, pulse-echo, ultrasonic testing of forgings manufactured from ferritic and martensitic steel. Mechanised scanning techniques such as immersion testing may be used but should be agreed between the purchaser and supplier. This part of EN 10228 applies to four types of forgings, classified according to their shape and method of production. Types 1, 2 and 3 are essentially simple shapes. Type 4 covers complex shapes.
