Study on Comparison of Korean Industrial Standard and ASME BPV Code for Radiographic Examination

방사선투과시험(放射線透過試驗)에 있어서 KS와 ASME Code의 비교(比較)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

There are two basic concepts in industrial radiographic examination; one is a radio-graphic sensitivity, and the other is a acceptance criteria. The comparison of these main points are studied for KS Standard and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. From the results of the experiment, higher radiographic sensitivity is required in KS Standard when the thickness of material to be examined is less than 20mm in single wall technique. The acceptance criteria for linear type indications are described on same concept in two standards, whereas the acceptance criteria for rounded indications of KS Standard which mainly depends upon the object thickness are more severe than those of ASME BPV Code.
