ISO 4992-2 pdf download Steel castings — Ultrasonic examination — Part 2: Steel castings for highly stressed components
1 ScopeThis part of ISO 4992 specifies the requirements for the ultrasonic examination of steel castings (with ferriticstructure) for highly stressed components, and the methods for determining internal discontinuities by the pulseecho technique.
This part of ISO 4992 applies to the ultrasonic examination of steel castings which have usually received agrain-refining heat treatment and which have wall thicknesses up to and including 600 mm. For greater walthicknesses, special agreements apply with respect to the test procedure and recording levels.This part of ISO 4992 does not apply to austenitic steels and joint welds.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 5577, EN 583-1 , EN 583-2, EN 583-5 and EN 1 330-4, and the following, apply.
3.1
reference discontinuity echo size
smallest indication to be recorded during the assessment phase of an ultrasonic examination, usually expressed as an equivalent flat-bottomed hole diameter
3.2
point discontinuity
discontinuity, the dimensions of which are smaller than or equal to the sound-beam diameter
NOTE Dimensions in this part of ISO 4992 relate to length, width and/or dimension in the through-wall direction.
3.3
complex discontinuity
discontinuity, the dimensions of which are larger than the sound-beam diameter
NOTE Dimensions in this part of ISO 4992 relate to length, width and/or dimension in the through-wall direction.
3.4
planar discontinuity
discontinuity having two measurable dimensions
3.5
volumetric discontinuity
discontinuity having three measurable dimensions
3.6
special rim zone
outer rim-zone part with special requirements
NOTE Examples of special requirements are machined surfaces, higher stresses and sealing surfaces.
3.7
production welding
any welding carried out during manufacturing before final delivery to the purchaser
3.7.1
joint welding
production welding used to assemble components together to obtain an integral unit
3.7.2
finishing welding
production welding carried out in order to ensure the agreed quality of the casting
