GB/T 7233.2-2010 in English

《GB/T 7233.2-2010铸钢件 超声检测 第2部分：高承压铸钢件》由TC54（全国铸造标准化技术委员会）归口，TC54SC1（全国铸造标准化技术委员会铸钢分会）执行，主管部门为国家标准化管理委员会。

This part of GB/T 7233 specifies the terms, definitions and general requirements for the ultrasonic examination of steel castings (with ferritic structure) for highly stressed components, and the methods for determining internal discontinuities by the pulse echo technique.
This part applies to the ultrasonic examination of steel castings which have usually received a grain-refining heat treatment and which have wall thicknesses up to and including 600 mm. For greater wall thicknesses, special agreements apply with respect to the examination techniques and recording limits.
This Part does not apply to austenitic steel.
