Ultrasonic Testing Formulas and Rules

The document outlines the rules and calculations for Ultrasonic Testing (UT), including formulas for Bim Path Length, Surface Distances, and Depth. It also details the Indication Rating and defect classification, categorizing defects into four classes based on their lengths. Class A defects are rejected, while Class D defects are acceptable regardless of length.

ULTRASONIC TEST (UT)

ULTRASONIC TESTING RULES

1. Bim Path Length or Sound Path (BPL/ SP) = T / Cos𝜽 [T= Thickness]
2. Half Skip Bim Path Length (HSBPL) = T / Cos𝜽
3. Full Skip Bim Path Length (HSBPL) = 2T/ Cos𝜽 ≡ 45° 50° 60° 65° 70°

4. Surface Distance Half (HSD)= HSBPL X Sin𝜽 = (T/ Cos𝜽) X Sin𝜽


Sin𝜃 0.71 0.77 0.86 0.90 0.94
5. Surface Distance Full (FSD)= FSBPL X Sin𝜽 = (2T/ Cos𝜽) X Sin𝜽
6. Depth = BPL X Cos𝜽 (1st Leg), 2T-BPL X Cos𝜽 (2nd Leg), Cos𝜃 0.71 0.64 0.50 0.42 0.34
BPL X Cos𝜽-2T (3rd Leg), 3T-BPL X Cos𝜽 (4th Leg),
Tan𝜃 1 1.2 1.7 2.1 2.7
BPL X Cos𝜽-3T (5th Leg),
7. Scanning Area = 2T*Tan 𝜽
8. Indication Rating D = (A-B-C)
A (Indication dB) = 45
B (Reference dB) = 40
𝑺𝑷 𝒐𝒓 𝑩𝑷𝑳
C (Attenuation Factor) = 2 ( −𝟏)
𝟐𝟓.𝟎𝟒

Defect Classification
A Class = Any indication in this category shall be rejected regardless of length.
B Class = Any indication in this category having a length greater than 3/4 inch (20mm)
C Class = Any indication in this category having a length greater than 2 inches (50mm) Shall be rejected
D Class = Any indication in this category regardless of length is acceptable
