FORE11ORD This Indian Standard ( Part 1 ) ( Fifth Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian on 20 April1 930, after the draft finalized by the Steel Tubes, Pipes, and Fittings Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering .Division Council. This standard respectively. In this revision, was first published in 1958 and subsequently revised in 1964, 1968, Standards Sectional

made:

Eddy current test as a part of non-destructive testing has been introduced in this specification as an alternate to hydraulic test based on the international practice and experience gained in the country. Other methods of non-destructive testing may be considered for inclusion in the specification, as and when sufficient experience is gained in the country.

While formulating this standard, due consideration has been given to the trade practices followed Due consideration has also been given to international coordination in the country in this field. among the standards prevailing in different countries.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2.: 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

The tube shall be sufficiently straight to the validity of the test and the surface be free from any foreign matter that interfere with. the interpretation of the

C-l.3 Two methods of test are ermitted ( at the manufacturers option ). Tfe equipment may be located on or off the tube mill. Method A The tube to be tested is passed through the (a) concentric test coil (applicable to welded or seamless tubes ), or (b) segmental coil covering the weld and f 15 arc from weld line ( applicable to welded tubes) on either side. Method B The tube to be tested or the test coil assembly is rotated and translated relative to each other so the test coil describe a helical path over the tube surface. The pitch of the helical scan shall ensure that the whole of the tube surface is effectively covered. This method is applicable to seamless tubes only. C-2 CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT OF TEST

The standard test piece shall have a longitudinal notch 08 mm or less in width machinpd parallel to the tube axis on the outer surface of the tube. The depth of the notch shall not exceed 12 l/2 percent of the specified thickness of the tube or 03 mm whichever is greater. The length of the notch at full depth shall not exceed 50 mm. Cl-3 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

C-3.1 The equipment and test coils shall be adjusted to produce in a consistent manner a clearly identifiable signal from the standard(s) defect on the standard tube and this signal shall be used to set the trigger/alarm level of the equipment. For calibration purposes the relative speed between the standard tube containing standard defect and the test coils shall be the same as that used during the production. C-3.2 The calibration of the equipment shall be checked at the commencement and at the end of each working period and at intervals not exceeding 2 h. C-3.3 If on checking during production testing the reference standard is not detected even after changing the sensitivity by 2dB to allow for equipment drift, the equipment shall be recaliall tubes recalibration, Following brated. tested since the previous check shall be retested, unless recordings from individually identified tubes are available that permit classrfication of those tubes into suspect and acceptable categories. C-4 TEST PROCEDURE

C-2.1 The equipment shall be calibrated using standard tube containing holes as defined in .C-2.3 for Method A or standard notches as defined in C-2.4 for Method B. The test piece for off-line equipment shall have similar electromagnetic properties and same diameter and thickness as the tube to be tested. For tube may he online equipment, running considered as standard tube. C-2.2 Method A
