Foreword
GB/T 12604 "Terms of Non-destructive Testing" is divided into 11 parts.
---GB/T 12604.1 Non-destructive testing term Ultrasonic testing;
---GB/T 12604.2 Non-destructive testing term radiographic testing;
---GB/T 12604.3 Non-destructive testing terminology penetration testing;
---GB/T 12604.4 Nondestructive Testing Term Acoustic Emission Testing;
---GB/T 12604.5 Non-destructive testing terminology magnetic particle testing;
---GB/T 12604.6 Non-destructive testing term eddy current testing;
---GB/T 12604.7 Non-destructive testing term leak detection;
---GB/T 12604.8 Non-destructive testing term neutron testing;
---GB/T 12604.9 Non-destructive testing term infrared testing;
---GB/T 12604.10 Non-destructive testing terminology magnetic memory testing;
---GB/T 12604.11 Non-destructive testing term X-ray digital imaging testing.
This part is Part 1 of GB/T 12604.
This section was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This part replaces GB/T 12604.1-2005 "Non-destructive Testing Terminology Ultrasonic Testing", compared with GB/T 12604.1-2005, the main The main technical changes are as follows:
---Adjust the overall structure of the standard in accordance with ISO 5577:2017. The terms are divided into techniques related to "frequency", "wave" and "pulse".
There are four categories of language, terms related to "sound", terms related to "testing equipment", and terms related to "ultrasonic testing".
The medium is subdivided into subcategories, and each subcategory contains specific terms;
---Deleted some terms and definitions, see Appendix C for details;
---Added some new terms and definitions, see Appendix D for details;
---Modified some terms and definitions, see Appendix E for details.
This part uses the redrafting method to modify and adopt ISO 5577:2017 "Non-destructive Testing Ultrasonic Testing Terminology".
Compared with ISO 5577:2017, this part has many structural adjustments. Appendix A lists the chapters of this part and ISO 5577:2017. Article number comparison list.
Compared with ISO 5577:2017, this part has technical differences. The clauses related to these differences have been passed on the outer margins.
The vertical single line (|) is marked, and Appendix B gives a list of the corresponding technical differences and reasons. This section also made the following editorial changes.
---Modified the standard name to be consistent with the existing series of standards;
---The foreword of the international standard is deleted;
--- Increased the scope of standard application;
---Delete the suspension section under 6.6;
