1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This procedure defines the requirements of equipment, calibration, examination procedure
and acceptance standards of ultrasonic examination of all rolled or forged rounds of diameter
above 60 mm
2.0 REFERENCE STANDARD
24 ASTMA388
3.0 EQUIPMENT
3.1 An ultrasonic, A - Scan, pulse - echo type instrument having capability of examining at
frequencies from 4 to 5 MHz shall be used. The instrument linearity shall confirm to the
requirements of ASTM A ~ 388 and it shall be demonstrated during testing.
3.2 LINEARITY OF THE EQUIPMENT
The screen height linearity and the amplitude control linearity shall be performed in
accordance with ASTM A ~ 388 at the beginning of each testing
3.3. PROBES / TRANSDUCERS
Normal probe of 2-4 MHz frequency and diameter 10-24 mm shall be used depending on the
size of shaft
3.4 COUPLANT
Oil with good wet ability and low viscosity shall be used as couplant The couplant used for the
examination shall be the same as that used for calibration
3.5 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION
The personnel performing examinations shall be qualified in accordance with ASNT / ISNT
meeting the requirements of the recommended practice of ASNT ~ TC - 1A. The testing and
evaluation shall be carried out by ASNT / ISNT Level - Ii qualified operator.
4.0 SURFACE CONDITION
4.1. The surface of the bars shall be free from all contaminations which might interfere with probe
to specimen contact
5.0 SENSITIVITY SETTING
5.1 The sensitivity of the equipment shall be set directly on the actual job (round bar). The display

range of the equipment shall be calibrated in such a way that first back wall echo from the
actual job (round bar) shall be distinctly visible on the screen. After calibration of the
equipment, the probe is kept in sound area of the actual job (round bar) and dB gain setting
shall be adjusted in such a way that first back wall echo (BWE) height becomes 100% of Full
Screen Height (FSH). This dB gain setting shall be the sensitivity setting (Primary Reference
Level) and shall be recorded in the Ultrasonic Testing Report format.

5.2 For scanning, sensitivity setting shall be further increased by 6 dB (from Primary Reference
Level), however evaluation shall be performed at Primary Reference Level.
6.0 EXAMINATION
6.1 After sensitivity setting, the complete round bar shall be examined radially
6.2 To ensure complete coverage of the forging / bar, the search Unit (probes) shall at least 15 %
overlap with each pass.
6.3 For scanning, sensi i reased by 6 dB (from Primary Reference
Level), however evaluation shall be performed at Primary Reference Level.
6.3 The rate of probe movement over the job for examination shall be less than or equal to 150
mm second,
7.0 RECALIBRATION
7.4 Any change in the search units , couplant instrument setting or scanning speed from
that used for calibration shall require re-calibration. Perform a calibration check at least
once every 8 hour shift. When a loss of 15 % or greater in the level is indicated ,
establish the required calibration and re-examine all the material examined in the
Proceeding calibration period. When an increase of 15 % or greater in the gain level is
indicated, re-evaluate all recorded indications.
8.0 ACCEPTANCE NORMS
8.1 Any defect echo height more than 20% of Full screen height (when sensitivity level is at
Primary Reference Level) is not acceptable.
8.2 Atany location, if loss in first back wall echo is observed to be more than 20% (i.e. first back
wall echo height is less than 80% of Full Screen Height) when sensitivity setting is at Primary
Reference Level, the same is also not acceptable.
9.0 POST EXAMINATION CLEANING
9.1 Couplant shall be wiped off with suitable material to the extent possible.
10.0 RECORD
10.1 The component details, test date, observations and examination results shall_be recorded in
the form and retained for records.
