1. Scope:
This procedure describes the requirements for ultrasonic Examination & Acceptance standard for
Plate material of carbon steel or alloy steel of 10 mm thickness & above. Straight Beam contact
Ultrasonic examination to be carried out to detect internal discontinuities parallel to rolled surfaces
by pulse echo A scan method.
2. Personal Requirements:
2.1 Personnel employed for performing Ultrasonic Testing examination shall be certified to NDT
Level I (Ultrasonic Testing) \ NDT Level II (Ultrasonic Testing) as per written practice SNIS-
WP-001. Rev.0 which is in line with SNT –TC-1A. or ASNT’s Recommended practice SNT TC 1
A.
2.2 Personnel employed for Interpretation/evaluation shall be certified to NDE Level-II (Ultrasonic)
\ NDE level III (Ultrasonic) as per written practice SNIS-WP-001. Rev.0. or ASNT’s
Recommended practice SNT TC 1 A.
2.3 Personnel employed for inspection of clad plates should have minimum 2 years post
qualification experience.
3. Applicable Documents:
3.1SNT - TC - 1A (2006 edition) & SNIS Written Practice SNIS-WP-00.
3.2ASME Section V Article 5 (2017 Edition)
3.3ASME Section V Article 23 - SA - 578 (2017 Edition)
4. Equipments:
Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
Analog or Digital A scan Pulse echo (0.5 MHz To 25
MHz) Following flaw detectors shall be used with valid
calibration. EEC MAKE – ESM 2M, EX -10, PX – 10,
– Analog Type
MODSONIC MAKE – Digital - EINSTEIN – II TFT, Or EQUIVALENT
4.1.1 Equipment Linearity: Equipment linearity shall be checked before use and record shall be
maintained. The ultrasonic instrument’s screen height linearity shall be evaluated in accordance

4.3 Couplant: Machine Oil, water or equivalent
4.4 Calibration Block:

IIW V1 Block or IIW V2 Block for sweep range calibration.
5. Procedure Qualification & Demonstration:

Procedure of Ultrasonic examination shall be demonstrated to the satisfaction of AI on test
specimen. If the change in value or range of values of any of essentials specified in
Annexure -1,
the procedure shall be re qualified and re demonstrated to AI.
The change of requirements specified as non-essential variable does not required re qualification of
written procedure.
All change of essential or non-essential variables from the value or range of values specified in
written procedure requires revision of, or an addendum to, of the written procedures.
Annexure 1: attached with this procedure for Essential – Nonessential.
6. Surface preparation:
Surface shall be free of surface irregularities or foreign matters like dirt, rust, oil, grease etc. that
might interfere with examination. Surface shall be sufficiently clean and smooth to maintain a first
back wall Reflection from the opposite side of plate at least 80% of full scale during scanning.
7. Calibration:
7.1 : Basic Calibration shall be done by using IIW V1, or V2 blocks, & proper range
setting to get minimum two back wall echoes on screen. For primary reference level gain
setting shall be adjusted so that first back wall echo shall be adjusted to 80% of (Full Screen
Height) FSH.

8. Scanning: Manual Scanning.

a. Scanning shall be done 100 % coverage of surface of dished ends, Rolled Shell, formed
Cones & clad plates with 10% Overlap. (SA 578 Supplementary requirement – 1)
b. An additional path shall be scanned on 2” (50 mm) with along the edges of Plates
c. During the scanning first reflection from back surface should be maintain 50% of full screen height.
d. e. If discontinuity condition observed during scanning, set the first back reflection from
sound area (back surface) 75 + 5% of full screen height, & maintain this setting during
evaluation of discontinuity indication
9. Recording: (6 dB drop Method shall be used for sizing of defects)
i. Record all discontinuities causing total loss of back wall echoes.
ii. Record all indications with amplitude greater than 50% of initial back reflection
accompanied by 50% of loss of back reflection.
Where recordable indications were observed the true boundaries shall be established by
moving the transducer away from the center of the discontinuity until the height of back
reflection & discontinuity indications are equal. Mark the plate at a point equivalent
to the center of transducer. Repeat the operation to establish the boundaries.
10.0 Acceptance Standards:
10.1.1 Acceptance for Base Metal. (Carbon / Alloy steel):- Acceptance criteria for base metal shall be
SA 578 Level –A,B & C
SA 578 Level – A : Any area where one or more discontinuities produce a continuous total loss of
back reflection accompanied by continuous indications on the same plane (within 5% of plate
thickness) that cannot be encompassed within a circle whose diameter is 3 in. [75 mm] or 1⁄2 of
the plate thickness, whichever is greater, is unacceptable.

SA 578 Level – B: Any discontinuity indication causing a total loss of back reflection accompanied
by continuous indication of the same plane which cannot be contained in a circle of 3” (75mm) diameter
or half of plate thickness whichever greater is unacceptable.
In addition, two or more discontinuities smaller than described above are unacceptable unless separated by
a minimum distance equal to the greatest diameter of the lager discontinuity or unless they may be
collectively encompassed by the circle describe above.
SA 578 Level – C: Any area where one or more discontinuities produce a continuous total loss
of back reflection accompanied by continuous indications on the same plane (within 5% of plate
thickness) that cannot be encompassed within a 1-in. [25-mm] diameter circle is
unacceptable.
