S4.2.1.1Ultrasonic testing shall be performed in accordance with MIL-STD-271as modified by the requirements specified herein.
S4.2.1.2Acoustic compatibility between the production ma-terial and the calibration standard material shall be within 75%.If the acoustic compatibility is within 25%,no gain compensation is required for the examination.If acoustic compatibility difference is between 25%and 75%,a change in the gain or dB controls shall be accomplished to compensate for the differences in acoustic compatibility.This method cannot be used if the ultrasonic noise level exceeds 50%of the rejection value.
S4.2.2Calibration:
S4.2.2.1Longitudinal Wave —The longitudinal wave test shall be calibrated on a flat-bottomed reference hole of a given diameter in accordance with Table S4.1for specified material thickness drill
ed either into the piece to be tested or into a separate defect-free specimen of the same size (within 61⁄8in.(3.18mm)),shape,material,and condition,or acoustically similar material.Holes are to be drilled to midsection and the bottom of the hole shall be parallel to the entrant surface.The ultrasonic test instrument shall be adjusted so that the response from the reference hole shall not be less than 25%and not more then 75%of screen height.
S4.2.2.2Recalibration —During quality conformance in-spection,any realignment of the search unit that will cause a decrease in the calibrated sensitivity and resolution,or both,or any change in search unit,couplant,instrument settings,or scanning speed from that used for calibration shall require recalibration.Recalibration shall be performed at least once per 8h shift.
S4.2.3Procedure —Paragraph S4.2.3.1describes the re-quirements for plate.Sheet and strip shall be excluded from these requirements.
S4.2.3.1Plate —Plate shall be inspected by the longitudinal wave technique using the contact or immersion method.For contact,the scanning shall be on id and one diagonal in each grid.For immersion,the scanning shall be continuous on id.For either method,the search shall be expanded to determine the full extent of any rejectable indica-tion if the material is to be offered on a waiver basis.S4.2.4Acceptance Criteria:
S4.2.4.1Longitudinal Wave —Any material that produces indications equal to or larger than the response from the reference hole,or that produces a complete loss of back reflection shall be rejected.Material shall be tested using a square,rectangular,or circular transducer having an effective area of one square inch or less,but no dimension shall be smaller than the diameter of the reference hole.In the event of
disagreement on the degree of back reflection loss,it shall be determined by the contact method using a 1to 1–1⁄8in.(25.4to 28.6mm)diameter transducer or one whose area falls within this range.
S4.2.4.2Reference Notch Removal —If reference notches or flat-bottomed holes are made in the material to be tested,they shall be so located than their subsequent removal will not impair the suitability of the material for its intended use.S4.3Liquid Penetrant Inspection:
S4.3.1Procedure —Liquid penetrant inspection shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-271.
S4.3.2Surface Requirements —The surface produced by hot working is not suitable for liquid penetrant testing.Therefore,liquid penetrant testing will not be applicable to products ordered with a hot finished surface.
S4.3.3Acceptance Criteria —Linear defects revealed by liquid penetrant inspection shall be explored by grinding or other suitable means.Depth of defects shall not exceed the dimensional tolerance of the material.
S5.Quality Assurance
S2.1Responsibility for Inspection —Unless otherwise speci-fied in the contract or purchase order,the manufacturer is responsible for the performance of all inspection and test requirements specified.Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order,the manufacturer may use his own or any other suitable facilities for the performance of the inspection and test requirements unless disapproved by the purchaser at the time the order is placed.The purchaser shall have the right to perform any of the inspections or tests set forth when such inspections and tests are deemed necessary to assure that the material conforms to prescribed requirements.S6.Identification Marking
S3.1All material shall be properly marked for identification in accordance with Fed.Std.No.182except that the ASTM specification number and the alloy number shall be used.S7.Preparation for Delivery
S4.1Preservation,Packaging,Packing:
S4.1.1Military Agencies —The material shall be separated by size,composition,grade,or class and shall be preserved and packaged,Level A or C,or packed,Level A,B,or C as specified in the contract or purchase order.
S4.1.2Civil Agencies —The requirements of Fed.Std.No.102shall be referenced for definitions of the various levels of packaging protection.S4.2Marking:
S4.2.1Military Agencies —In addition to any special mark-ing required by the contract or purchase order,marking for shipment shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-129.
S4.2.2Civil Agencies —In addition to any special marking required by the contract or purchase order,marking for shipment shall be in accordance with Fed.Std.No.123.
