Scope

4.1 This practice is intended primarily for the examination of wrought metals, forged, rolled, machined parts or components to an ultrasonic class most typically specified in the purchase order or other contract document.

1.1 Purpose—This practice establishes the minimum requirements for ultrasonic examination of wrought products.

Note 1—This standard was adopted to replace MIL-STD-2154, 30 Sept. 1982. This standard is intended to be used for the same applications as the document which it replaced. Users should carefully review its requirements when considering its use for new, or different applications, or both.

1.2 Application—This practice is applicable for examination of materials such as, wrought metals and wrought metal products.

1.2.1 Wrought Aluminum Alloy Products—Examination shall be in accordance with Practice B594.

1.3 Acceptance Class—When examination is performed in accordance with this practice, engineering drawings, specifications, or other applicable documents shall indicate the acceptance criteria. Five ultrasonic acceptance classes are defined in Table 1. One or more of these classes may be used to establish the acceptance criteria or additional or alternate criteria may be specified.

^A8201;Any discontinuity with a response greater than the response from a flat-bottom hole or equivalent notch (see footnote ^B) at the estimated discontinuity depth and the discontinuity size given is not acceptable.

^B 8201;See Fig. 3, Fig. 4, or Fig. 5 for dimensions of notches and holes when these are required for angle beam examination of tube walls and near-surface regions of cylindrical parts and other products.

^C8201;Multiple discontinuities with indications greater than the response from a reference flat-bottom hole or equivalent notch at the estimated discontinuity depth of the size given (diameter) are not acceptable if the centers of any two of these discontinuities are less than one inch apart (not applicable to Class C).

^D8201;Any discontinuity longer than the length given with indications equal to or greater than the response given (flat-bottom hole or notch response) is not acceptable. Not applicable to Class C).

^E8201;Loss of back reflection by more than 508201;%, when compared to non-defective material in the same or a similar part, is not acceptable.

^F8201;For longitu......
