Historical Standard: ASTM E571-98(2007)e1 Standard Practice for Electromagnetic (Eddy-Current) Examination of Nickel and Nickel Alloy Tubular Products
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E571
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the procedures for eddy-current examination of nickel and nickel alloy tubes. These procedures are applicable for tubes with outside diameters up to 2 in. (50.8 mm), incl, and wall thicknesses from 0.035 to 0.120 in. (0.889 to 3.04 mm), incl. These procedures may be used for tubes beyond the size range recommended, by contractual agreement between the purchaser and the producer.
1.2 The procedures described in this practice make use of fixed encircling test coils or probe systems.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
Note 1For convenience, the term tube or tubular product will hereinafter be used to refer to both pipe and tubing.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
