Non-destructive testing of welds - Ultrasonic testing - Techniques, testing levels, and assessment (ISO 17640:2017)
ISO 17640:2017 specifies techniques for the manual ultrasonic testing of fusion-welded joints in metallic materials of thickness ≥8 mm which exhibit low ultrasonic attenuation (especially that due to scatter) at object temperatures from 0 °C to 60 °C. It is primarily intended for use on full penetration welded joints where both the welded and parent material are ferritic.
Where material-dependent ultrasonic values are specified in ISO 17640:2017, they are based on steels having an ultrasonic sound velocity of (5 920 ± 50) m/s for longitudinal waves and (3 255 ± 30) m/s for transverse waves.
ISO 17640:2017 specifies four testing levels, each corresponding to a different probability of detection of imperfections. Guidance on the selection of testing levels A, B, and C is given in Annex A.
ISO 17640:2017 specifies that the requirements of testing level D, which is intended for special applications, be in accordance with general requirements. Testing level D can only be used when defined by specification. This includes tests of metals other than ferritic steel, tests on partial penetration welds, tests with automated equipment, and tests at object temperatures outside the range 0 °C to 60 °C.
ISO 17640:2017 can be used for the assessment of discontinuities, for acceptance purposes, by either of the following techniques:
a) evaluation based primarily on length and echo amplitude of the discontinuity;
b) evaluation based on characterization and sizing of the discontinuity by probe movement techniques.

Essais non destructifs des assemblages soudés - Contrôle par ultrasons - Techniques, niveaux d'essai et évaluation (ISO 17640:2017)
L'ISO 17640 :2017 spécifie des techniques de contrôle manuel par ultrasons des assemblages en matériaux métalliques soudés par fusion, d'épaisseur égale ou supérieure à 8 mm, présentant une atténuation relativement faible des ultrasons (en particulier celle due à la diffusion) à des températures d'objet comprises entre 0 °C et 60 °C. Elle vise particulièrement les assemblages soudés à pleine pénétration dont le métal de base et la soudure sont ferritiques.
Lorsque les valeurs des caractéristiques ultrasonores dépendantes des matériaux sont précisées dans l'ISO 17640 :2017, elles concernent des aciers dans lesquels la vitesse des ondes ultrasonores est égale à (5 920 ± 50) m/s pour les ondes longitudinales et à (3 255 ± 30) m/s pour les ondes transversales.
L'ISO 17640 :2017 spécifie quatre niveaux de contrôle, chacun correspondant à une probabilité différente de détection des défauts. Un guide du choix des niveaux de contrôle A, B et C est donné dans l'Annexe A.
L'ISO 17640 :2017 spécifie que les exigences relatives au niveau de contrôle D, qui est prévu pour des applications spéciales, sont conformes aux exigences générales. Le niveau de contrôle D ne peut être utilisé que lorsqu'il est défini par une spécification. Cela inclut les contrôles de métaux autres que les aciers ferritiques, les contrôles sur des soudures à pénétration partielle, les contrôles avec des équipements automatisés, et les contrôles à des températures d'objet situées hors de la plage 0 °C à 60 °C.
L'ISO 17640 :2017 peut être utilisé pour l'évaluation des discontinuités, aux fins d'acceptation, par l'une des techniques suivantes:
a) évaluation fondée principalement sur la longueur et l'amplitude d'écho de la discontinuité;
b) évaluation fondée sur la caractérisation et le dimensionnement de la discontinuité par des techniques de déplacement du traducteur.
Neporušitveno preskušanje zvarnih spojev - Ultrazvočno preskušanje - Tehnike, stopnje preskušanja in ocenjevanje (ISO 17640:2017)
Ta dokument določa tehnike za ročno ultrazvočno preskušanje talilno zvarjenih spojev v kovinskih materialih debeline ≥8 mm, ki izkazujejo nizko stopnjo ultrazvočnega slabljenja (zlasti tistega, do katerega pride zaradi razprševanja) pri temperaturi predmetov med 0 in 60 °C. Primarno je namenjen za uporabo pri zvarnih spojih s popolno penetracijo, kjer sta tako zvarjeni kot osnovni material feritna.
Kadar so v tem dokumentu določene od materiala odvisne ultrazvočne vrednosti, temeljijo na jeklih z ultrazvočno hitrostjo (5920 ± 50) m/s za longitudinalne valove in (3255 ± 30) m/s za transverzalne valove.
Ta dokument določa štiri ravni preskusa, pri čemer vsaka označuje drugačno verjetnost zaznavanja nepravilnosti. Navodila o izbiri ravni preskušanja A, B in C so na voljo v dodatku A.
Ta dokument določa, da so zahteve ravni preskušanja D, ki je namenjena za posebno
uporabo, skladne s splošnimi zahtevami. Raven preskušanja D je mogoče uporabljati le takrat, ko to določajo specifikacije. To vključuje preskuse kovin, ki niso feritno jeklo, preskuse na zvarih z delno prevaritvijo, preskuse z avtomatizirano opremo in preskuse pri temperaturah predmetov, ki so zunaj razpona 0–60 °C.
Ta dokument se lahko uporablja za ocenjevanje nehomogenosti, za namene sprejemanja, po kateri koli od naslednjih tehnik:
a) vrednotenje, ki primarno temelji na amplitudi dolžine in odmeva nehomogenosti;
b) vrednotenje, ki temelji na karakterizaciji in ugotavljanju velikosti nehomogenosti prek tehnik premikanja preskuševalne glave.
