Ultrasonic testing of steel flat product of thickness equal or greater than 6 mm (reflection method) EN 10160:1999

Publication date:   Feb 24, 2001

Scope

This European Standard describes a method for the ultrasonic testing of uncoatedflat steel product for internal discontinuities. It is applicable to flat product in nominal thickness range of 6 mm to 200 mm of non-alloyed or alloyed steel, excluding austenitic or austenoferritic steels. However, this standard may be applied to the latter types of steels provided that the difference between the amplitude of the noise signal and that of the echo detection threshold is sufficient for the limit fixed.
