Nondestructive testing of pressure equipment
- Part 14. X-ray computed radiographic testing
1 Scope
1.1 This Part of NB/T 47013 specifies the technical and quality grading requirements
for fusion-welded joints of pressure-bearing metal parts of pressure equipment using
X-ray computed radiographic testing below 450 kV (hereinafter referred to as “CR
testing”).
1.2 This Part applies to the CR testing for fusion-welded joints of steel, copper and
copper alloys, aluminum and aluminum alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, nickel and
nickel alloys. The type of welded joints is butt joint weld (hereinafter referred to as “butt
weld”) of a plate or tube.
1.3 The CR testing for the welded joints of other materials, supports and structural
parts of pressure equipment may refer to this Part.

The quality certificate of the IP shall include at least the main performance parameters
such as type and specification, dynamic range, excitation response time, chemical
composition of IP. Users shall use and store (IP) at the manufacturer's recommended
temperature and humidity conditions and avoid unnecessary exposure. For workpiece
under test with smaller thickness, it shall choose IP with slower photographic speed;
For workpiece under test with larger thickness, it may choose IP with faster
photographic speed.
4.2.2.2 Scanner
The quality certificate of the laser scanner shall include at least the main performance
parameters such as specification, scanning size, input voltage, scanning resolution,
laser beam focal spot size and scanning step speed, and the functions and
performances of the laser scanner shall meet at least the following requirements.
a) the scanner shall have scanning and erasing functions. The grey value of residual
latent image after erasing shall not be higher than 5 % of the maximum grey
value of the system;
b) the scanning laser power shall meet the requirements of signal acquisition;
c) the PMT voltage or gain, scanning resolution of the scanner shall be adjustable;
d) the laser beam shall be free from chatter and free from artifacts and missing scan
lines.
4.2.2.3 Display
The following minimum requirements shall be met.
a) the minimum brightness is 250 cd/m2;
b) the display is at least of 256 grey level;
c) the minimum light intensity ratio is 1. 250;
d) display at least 1M pixels, and the pixel size is less than 0.3 mm.
4.2.2.4 System-specific software
It shall include at least the following functions.
a) measurement functions. including grey level measurement, spatial resolution
measurement, signal-to-noise ratio measurement, geometric dimension
measurement, etc.;
b) adjustment functions. including grey level transformation, contrast adjustment,
4.3.5 In the CR testing of pressure equipment, if some conditions of testing cannot
meet the requirements of AB-level testing technology, it is agreed by both parties to
the contract that under the premise of taking effective compensation measures (such
as increasing the exposure or selecting a system with higher signal-to-noise ratio), A-
level testing technology may be used, but it shall also use other non-destructive testing
methods for supplementary testing.
4.4 Testing process documents
4.4.1 Test process documents include process instructions and operating instructions.
4.4.2 In addition to meeting the requirements of NB/T 47013.1, the process
specification shall also specify the specific scope or requirements of the following
relevant factors. If the relevant factors change beyond the provisions, the process
specification shall be redeveloped or revised.
