5.1. The distance from the radiation source to the surface of the controlled area of the welded joint closest to the source (when transilluminating welded joints of cylindrical and spherical hollow products through two walls - to the surface of the controlled welded joint adjacent to the source) and the size or number of areas controlled in one exposure for all transillumination schemes ( with the exception of the diagram in Fig. 5f) should be chosen such that the following requirements are met during transillumination:

The geometric blurring of images of defects in the photographs when the film is located close to the inspected welded joint should not exceed half the required sensitivity of the control with a sensitivity of up to 2 mm and 1 mm - with a sensitivity of more than 2 mm;

The relative increase in the size of images of defects located on the side of the radiation source (in relation to defects located on the side of the film) should not exceed 1.25;

The angle between the direction of radiation and the normal to the film within the area of the welded joint controlled during one exposure should not exceed 45°;

The decrease in the optical density of the image of the welded joint in any part of this image in relation to the optical density at the installation site of the wire sensitivity standard or in relation to the optical density of the image of the groove or plate sensitivity standard should not exceed 1.0.

5.1, 5.2. (Revised edition, Rev. No. 1).

5.3. When inspecting welded joints according to fig. 5h (panoramic transillumination), the ratio of the inner diameter d to the outer diameter D of the controlled joint should not be less than 0.8, and the maximum size of the focal spot Ф of the radiation source should not be more than

where K is the sensitivity of the control.

5.4 In cases where the dimensions of defects are not determined (for example, defects are not allowed regardless of their size), the ratio between the inner and outer diameters of the controlled joint given in clause 5.3 may not be observed.

5.5. In the absence of a radiation source that meets the requirements of clause 5.3, it is allowed during control according to fig. 5h use radiation sources with a maximum focal spot size that satisfies the relation

6. IMAGE INTERPRETATION

6.1. Viewing and interpretation of images should be carried out after they have completely dried in a darkened room using special illuminators-negatoscopes.

Negatoscopes with adjustable brightness and illuminated field size should be used. The maximum brightness of the illuminated field should be at least 1 (Y 1 + 2 cd / m 2, where D is the optical density of the image. The dimensions of the illuminated field should be adjusted using movable shutters or mask screens within such limits that the illuminated field is completely covered by the image.

(Revised edition, Rev. No. 1).

6.2. Photographs approved for decoding must meet the following requirements:

The pictures should not have spots, stripes, pollution and damage to the emulsion layer, making it difficult to decipher them;

The photographs must show images of limit marks, markings and sensitivity standards;

The optical density of the images of the controlled section of the weld, the near-weld zone and the sensitivity standard must be at least 1.5;

The decrease in the optical density of the image of the welded joint in any part of this image in comparison with the optical density of the image of the sensitivity standard should not exceed 1.0.

Note. When using wire standards of sensitivity, values of 0.30; 0.60; 0.75 and 1.50 mm are replaced by 0.32; 0.63; 0.80 and 1.60 mm.

(Revised edition, Rev. No. 1).

Specific sensitivity values should be established by technical documentation

(requirements of drawings, specifications, rules of control and acceptance) for controlled products.

For nuclear power plants, sensitivity requirements are established by the relevant regulatory documents.

6.4 In accordance with the requirements of the technical documentation for controlled products, it is allowed to determine the sensitivity (А:) as a percentage using the formula

where K - sensitivity, mm;

S - thickness of translucent metal, mm.

6.5. Interpretation and evaluation of the quality of welded joints from images that do not have images of sensitivity standards is allowed:

With panoramic transillumination of circumferential welded joints with simultaneous exposure of more than four films. In these cases, regardless of the total number of shots, it is allowed to set one sensitivity standard for each quarter of the circumference of the welded joint;

When it is impossible to use sensitivity standards.

In these cases, the sensitivity is determined on the simulators of the welded joint during processing of control modes.

6.6. When deciphering the images, the dimensions of the images of cracks, lack of penetration, pores and inclusions are determined, and, if necessary, the magnitude of the concavity and convexity of the root of the weld is estimated (in cases where the root of the weld is not available for external examination).

The list of dimensions to be determined and the method for assessing the concavity and convexity of the weld root should be given in the technical documentation for the control and acceptance of welded joints.

6.7. When documenting the results of image interpretation, the sizes determined from the images should be rounded up to the nearest values from the range of 0.2; 0.3; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0; 1.2; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0 mm or the nearest integer value in millimeters if the size determined from the image exceeds 3.0 mm.

6.8. If, during testing, the film is located at a distance H from the surface of the tested welded joint facing the film, and the relation

^r> 10"

it is recommended to multiply the dimensions determined from the image before rounding them by the coefficient

where / is the distance from the radiation source to the surface of the controlled section of the welded joint facing the source, mm; s - radiation thickness, mm.

6.6-6.8. (Revised edition, Rev. No. 1).

6.9. When measuring the size of defects up to 1.5 mm, a measuring magnifier with a division value of 0.1 mm, St. 1.5 mm - any measuring device with a division value of 1 mm.

6.10. The results of interpretation of images and the sensitivity of the control must be recorded in the conclusion or logbook of the results of control, the form of which should be established by the technical documentation for the control or acceptance of welded joints.

6.11. To designate defects in the conclusion or log of control results, the symbols given in Appendix 5 should be used.

Examples of abbreviated recording of defects when deciphering images are given in Appendix 6.
