Sensitivity Calculations Question Answers CSWIP NDT Course

  1. A SWSI radiograph of a butt weld in 25 mm thick steel plate shows 6 wires on a BS 3971 9-FE-15 IQI. Calculate the sensitivity.

(0.25/25) x 100 = 1.0%

  1. An ASTM E 1025 plaque type IQI is required for the radiography of a butt weld in 4 inch thick steel plate. If the required sensitivity is 2-2T what plaque thickness is required?

(4/100) x 2 = 0.08 inch, a designation 80 penetrameter.  08 inch = 2.03 mm

  1. A DWDI radiograph of a weld in 2 inch pipe shows 4 wires on a DIN 54109 10-ISO-16 IQI. If the pipe wall thickness is 5.5 mm what is the sensitivity?

(0.2/11) x 100 = 1.82%

  1. A SWSI image radiograph of a butt weld in 8 mm thick steel plate shows 4 wires on an ASTM E 747 1-A IQI. What sensitivity has been achieved?

(0.13/8) x 100 = 1.625%

  1. A DWSI radiograph of a weld in a 6 inch schedule 40 pipe shows 2 wires on an EN 462-1 13-FE-EN IQI. If the wall thickness is 7.1 mm what sensitivity has been achieved

(0.16/7.1) x 100 = 2.25%

  1. A DWDI radiograph of a 3 inch schedule 10S stainless steel pipe shows 6 wires on a
    BS EN 462-1 10-FE-EN IQI. If the wall thickness is 3.1 mm what sensitivity has been achieved?

(0.125/6.2) x 100 = 2.02%

  1. A DWDI radiograph of a 3 inch schedule 10S stainless steel pipe shows 6 wires on a
    BS 3971 4-FE-10 IQI.  If the wall thickness is 3.1 mm what sensitivity has been achieved?

(0.08/6.2) x 100 = 1.29%

  1. A DWSI radiograph of a weld in a 6 inch schedule 80 pipe shows 2 wires on a BS 3971 4-FE-10 IQI. If the wall thickness is 10.3 mm what sensitivity has been achieved?

(2/10.3) x 100 = 1.94%

  1. Which wire in the BS EN 462-1 series would indicate a sensitivity of 2% on a SWSI radiograph of a butt weld in 40 mm thick steel plate?

2% of 40 = (40/100) x 2 = 0.8, this is W7 in the BS EN 462-1 series.

  1. Which wire in the BS 3971 series would indicate a sensitivity of 1% on a SWSI radiograph of a butt weld in 32 mm thick steel plate?

            1% of 32 = (32/100) x 1 = 0.32, this is W11 in the BS 3971 series.

13mm thick 323 mm OD pipe DWSI BS3971 9FE15 (5)
5.5 mm thick 60.3 mm OD pipe DWDI BS3971 4FE10 (4)
30 mm thick plate, 5 mm thick backing strip SWSI EN462-1 6FEEN (5)
4 inch thick plate SWSI Calculate plaque type penetrameter thickness for ASME 2-2T requirement
