Designation:E1030/E1030M15Standard Practice forRadiographic Examination of Metallic Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1030/E1030M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice2provides a uniform procedure for radio-graphic examination of metallic castings using radiographicfilm as the recording medium.1.2 This standard addresses the achievement of,or protocolsfor achieving,common or practical levels of radiographiccoverage for castings,to detect primarily volumetric disconti-nuities to sensitivity levels measured by nominated imagequality indicators.All departures,including alternate means ormethods to increase coverage,or address challenges of detect-ing non-volumetric planar-type discontinuities,shall be agreedupon between the purchaser and supplier and shall considerAppendix X1 and Appendix X2.1.3 The radiographic techniques stated herein provide ad-equate assurance for defect detectability;however,it is recog-nized that,for special applications,specific techniques usingmore or less stringent requirements may be required than thosespecified.In these cases,the use of alternate radiographictechniques shall be as agreed upon between purchaser andsupplier(also see Section 5).1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3E94 Guide for Radiographic ExaminationE155 Reference Radiographs for Inspection of Aluminumand Magnesium CastingsE186 Reference Radiographs for Heavy-Walled(2 to 412in.(50.8 to 114 mm)Steel CastingsE192 Reference Radiographs of Investment Steel Castingsfor Aerospace ApplicationsE272 Reference Radiographs for High-Strength Copper-Base and Nickel-Copper Alloy CastingsE280 Reference Radiographs for Heavy-Walled(412to 12in.(114 to 305 mm)Steel CastingsE310 Reference Radiographs for Tin Bronze CastingsE446 Reference Radiographs for Steel Castings Up to 2 in.(50.8 mm)in ThicknessE505 Reference Radiographs for Inspection of Aluminumand Magnesium Die CastingsE543 Specification for Agencies Performing NondestructiveTestingE689 Reference Radiographs for Ductile Iron CastingsE747 Practice for Design,Manufacture and Material Group-ing Classification of Wire Image Quality Indicators(IQI)Used for RadiologyE802 Reference Radiographs for Gray Iron Castings Up to412in.(114 mm)in ThicknessE999 Guide for Controlling the Quality of Industrial Radio-graphic Film ProcessingE1025 Practice for Design,Manufacture,and MaterialGrouping Classification of Hole-Type Image Quality In-dicators(IQI)Used for RadiologyE1079 Practice for Calibration of Transmission Densitom-etersE1254 Guide for Storage of Radiographs and UnexposedIndustrial Radiographic FilmsE1316 Terminology for Nondestructive Examinations1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E07 on Nonde-structive Testing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E07.01 onRadiology(X and Gamma)Method.Current edition approved Dec.1,2015.Published January 2016.Originallyapproved in 1984.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as E1030-05(2011).DOI:10.1520/E1030_E1030M-15.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related TestMethod SE-1030 in Section II of that Code.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 E1320 Reference Radiographs for Titanium CastingsE1742 Practice for Radiographic ExaminationE1815 Test Method for Classification of Film Systems forIndustrial Radiography2.2 ASNT/ANSI Standards:SNT-TC-1A Recommended Practice for Personnel Qualifi-cation and Certification in Nondestructive Testing4CP-189 Qualification and Certification of NondestructiveTesting Personnel42.3 Other Standards:5NAS 410 National Aerospace Standard Certification andQualification of Nondestructive Test Personnel2.4 ISO Standards:6ISO 5579 Non-Destructive TestingRadiographic Testingof Metallic Materials Using Film and X-or Gamma-raysBasic RulesISO 9712 Non-Destructive TestingQualification and
