This standard BS EN ISO 10893-11:2011+A1:2020 Non-destructive testing of steel tubes is classified in these ICS categories:
- 77.140.75 Steel pipes and tubes for specific use
- 23.040.10 Iron and steel pipes
- 25.160.40 Welded joints and welds
- 77.040.20 Non-destructive testing of metals
This part of ISO 10893 specifies requirements for the automated ultrasonic shear wave (generated by conventional or phased array technique) testing of the weld seam of submerged arc-welded (SAW) or electric resistance and induction-welded (EW) steel tubes.
For SAW tubes, the test covers the detection of imperfections oriented predominantly parallel to or, by agreement, perpendicular to the weld seam or both.
For EW tubes, the test covers the detection of imperfections oriented predominantly parallel to the weld seam. In the case of testing on longitudinal imperfections, Lamb wave testing can be applied at the discretion of the manufacturer.
For the detection of imperfections at the weld seam of EW tubes, full peripheral ultrasonic testing is possible.
This part of ISO 10893 can also be applicable to the testing of circular hollow sections.
NOTE For full peripheral ultrasonic testing of seamless and welded (except SAW) tubes, see ISO 10893‑10.
