BS EN 10307:2002 Non-destructive testing - Ultrasonic testing of austenitic and austentitic-ferritic stainless steels flat products of thickness equal to or greater than 6 mm (reflection method)
This European Standard describes a method for the ultrasonic-testing of uncoated flat austenitic and austeniticferritic
stainless steel product for internal discontinuities. It is applicable to flat product in nominal thickness range of
6 mm to 200 mm. Mechanised, semi-automatic or automatic techniques may be used but should be agreed
between the purchaser and the supplier.
This standard also defines 3 quality classes for the flat product body (classes SI, S, and S,) and 4 quality classes
(El, E, E, E4) for the edges in accordance with the criteria specified in clause 12.
Other methods of testing, e.g. by transmission technique or other test equipments may be used at the
manufacturer's discretion provided that they give equivalent results to those obtained under the conditions of this
standard. In the event of a dispute, only the method defined in this standard prevails.
Testing of flat product of thickness less than 6 mm may be the subject of special agreements between the parties
concerned.
