    A General

    UT Thicknes testing procedure incorporates all the requirements of Approved NDT


    A1
    SAEP-1146 and is approved by Inspection department. Procedure

    UT Technecians are certified for UT Thickness Gauging.


    Note: Limited Certifications in techniques would require at least half SAEP-1142 Para
    A2
    of the training hours(40 Hrs) and experience(400 Hrs) required for 7.1
    UT Level II certifications. (SAEP-1142 Para 7.1)

    Ultrasonic thickness testers used are from the Saudi Aramco


    approved equipment list. UTT instrument shall have an A-scan SAEP-1146
    A3 display to assist the operator in discrimination of test results. Para
    Note: Contact Saudi Aramco NDT Unit Supervisor for the most 5.1
    recent Approved Equipment List.

    Transducers shall be selected considering the surface temperature,


    expected thickness of the specimen and the resolution required. SAEP-1146
    A4 Digital thickness meters with A-scan presentation shall use only Para
    manufacturer's provided transducers. 5.2

    Calibration Blocks shall have a sound velocity within ± 5% of the


    SAEP-1146
    material to be tested.
    A5 Para
    Note: Use of SAMMS 4340 material is acceptable for most carbon
    5.3
    and stainless steel applications.

    Couplant shall have chemical compatibility with the surface and the
    SAEP-1146
    temperature of the specimen and shall not be detrimental to the
    A6 Para
    material being examined.
    5.4

    B CALIBRATION
    UT equipment shall be calibrated at beginning and end of each shift,
    every four hours during the examination, when examination SAEP-1146
    B1 personnel are changed, any equipment is changed & any time that Para
    malfunctioning is suspected. 6.1

    UT equipment shall be calibrated using a two-point calibration range


    that overlaps the expected measurement range, i.e., select a SAEP-1146
    calibration block or step wedge thickness value greater than the Para
    B2 maximum expected measurement value and a calibration block or 6.3
    step wedge value less than the expected measurement value. &
    All calibration values shall be within ± 0.002 inch of the known Para 6.5
    thickness value.

    SAEP-1146
    Button-type calibration blocks, on the front of some ultrasonic
    B3 Para
    thickness gauges, shall not be used for calibration.

    C EXAMINATION/INTERPRETATION

    The test area shall be free of corrosion, insulation, weld spatter,


    surface irregularities, or foreign matter that might interfere with the SAEP-1146
    examination. Where coatings interfere with the examination, the Para
    C1 coating shall be removed and recorded. 7.1.1
    Note: Many corrosion-monitoring applications require readings to be To
    taken in the same condition, i.e., coated, as when originally Para 7.1.3
    measured.

    The surface temperature below 32°F (0°C) or above 215°F (101°C),


    shall be measured and recorded.
    Temperature correction shall be performed for metal thickness
    greater than 1 inch for temperatures below 32°F and over 215°F.
    SAEP-1146
    Following formula shall be used:
    C2 Para
    Ta = Tm x [1.007 – (0.0001 x Temp)] (1)
    7.2.2 & 7.2.8
    Where:
    Ta = the actual thickness of the part
    Tm = measured thickness of the part
    Temp = surface temperature in °F

    The transducer acoustic barrier shall be placed perpendicular to the


    center axis when taking measurements on pipe or round objects up
    SAEP-1146
    to 24 inches in diameter. The acoustic barrier orientation is not
    C3 Para
    important on pipe and round objects greater than 24 inches in
    7.2.4
    diameter

    SAEP-1146
    The transducer shall be held flat on the surface then slowly rocked
    Para
    tangentially after contact to find the lowest reading.
    C4 7.2.5
    A valid reading is one that can be maintained on the gauge display
    &
    for several seconds and the value is steady within ± 0.002 inch.
    Para 7.2.6

    SAEP-1146
    Thickness readings shall be measured and recorded to three
    C5 Para
    decimal places.
    7.2.7

    The transducer face shall be cleaned before each measurement at SAEP-1146


    C6 temperatures greater than 400°F as evaporated couplant can leave Para
    deposits on the transducer face. 7.2.9

    UT examinations results shall include the variables specified in SAEP-1146


    C7 SAEP-1146 Para 9.1 and it shall be recorded on test report Para
    approved in UT procedure. 9.1
