BS EN 10228-1:2016 - TC

This standard BS EN 10228-1:2016 - TC Tracked Changes. Non-destructive testing of steel forgings is classified in these ICS categories:

• 19.100 Non-destructive testing
• 77.040.20 Non-destructive testing of metals
• 77.140.85 Iron and steel forgings

This European Standard describes techniques and acceptance criteria to be used for the magnetic particle testing of forgings manufactured from ferromagnetic materials. The method described is used for the detection of surface discontinuities. It can also detect discontinuities just below the surface but the sensitivity to such discontinuities decreases rapidly with depth. NOTE A steel forging is considered to be ferromagnetic if the magnetic flux density is greater than 1 T for a tangential magnetic field strength of 2,4 kA/m.
