Active Standard: Standard Practice for Electromagnetic (Eddy-Current) Examination of Nickel and Nickel Alloy Tubular Products
ASTM E571
Scope
1.1 This practice2 covers the procedures for eddy-current examination of nickel and nickel alloy tubes. These procedures are applicable for tubes with outside diameters up to 2āin. (50.8āmm), incl, and wall thicknesses from 0.035āin. to 0.120āin. (0.889āmm to 3.04āmm), incl. This standard applies to procedures where the sensor is placed on the outside surface of the tube. These procedures may be used for tubes beyond the size range recommended, by contractual agreement between the purchaser and the producer.
1.2 The procedures described in this practice make use of fixed encircling test coils or probe systems.
1.3 UnitsāThe values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
Note 1: For convenience, the term ātubeā or ātubular productā will hereinafter be used to refer to both pipe and tubing.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
