Non-destructive testing of welds - Eddy current examination of welds by complex plane analysis (ISO 17643:2015); German version EN ISO 17643:2015
Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung von Schweißverbindungen - Wirbelstromprüfung von Schweißverbindungen durch Vektorauswertung (ISO 17643:2015); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 17643:2015
Overview
This document (DIN EN ISO 17643:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44 "Welding and allied processes" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 121 "Welding", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-08-24 AA "Elektrische und magnetische Prüfverfahren" ("Electrical and magnetic test methods") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP). This International Standard defines eddy current testing techniques for detection of surface breaking and near surface planar discontinuities, mainly in ferritic materials (weld material, heat-affected zones, base material). Eddy current testing can also be specified for use with non-ferritic materials, for example in an application standard. The techniques can be applied to coated and uncoated objects during fabrication and in service, both onshore and offshore. Eddy current testing can be carried out on all accessible surfaces and on welds of almost any configuration. Unless otherwise specified at specific items in this International Standard, the general principles of EN 12084 apply.
