DIN EN 10228-4
Non-destructive testing of steel forgings - Part 4: Ultrasonic testing of austenitic and austenitic-ferritic stainless steel forgings; German version EN 10228-4:2016
Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung von Schmiedestücken aus Stahl - Teil 4: Ultraschallprüfung von Schmiedestücken aus austenitischem und austenitisch-ferritischem nichtrostendem Stahl; Deutsche Fassung EN 10228-4:2016
Overview
In general, the non-destructive tests together with other applied test methods represent the most important elements of quality assurance. The EN 10228-1 to -4 series of standards summarizes the following non-destructive tests for forgings: Magnetic particle inspection - Part 1; Penetrant testing - Part 2; Ultrasonic testing of ferritic or martensitic steel forgings - Part 3; Ultrasonic testing of austenitic and austenitic-ferritic stainless steel forgings - Part 4. This part of EN 10228 specifies testing techniques for manual pulse echo ultrasonic testing of forgings made of austenitic or austenitic-ferritic stainless steels. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 021-00-10 AA "Schmiedestücke" ("Forgings") at DIN Standards Committee Iron and Steel (FES).
