Aerospace series - Test method for metallic materials - Ultrasonic inspection of tubes; German and English version EN 3718:2012
Luft- und Raumfahrt - Prüfverfahren für metallische Werkstoffe - Ultraschallprüfung von Rohren; Deutsche und Englische Fassung EN 3718:2012
Overview
The document specifies the requirements for ultrasonic inspection of tubes in metallic materials with an external diameter ≥ 5 mm. For other cases, the use of this document is by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. The purpose of the ultrasonic inspection is the detection of defects within the wall thickness and at the outer and inner surfaces of the tube. The method will detect two dimensional defects in the longitudinal and circumferential directions perpendicular to the tube wall. Where inspection for other types of defects is required, these requirements should be stated on the order.
