GB/T 9443-2007 in English

《GB/T 9443-2007铸钢件渗透检测》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。
本标准规定了在合同中约定由检测程序确定表面不连续验收界限的渗透检测方法。本标准适用于用各种铸造方法生产的铸钢件的渗透检测。

1 Scope

This Standard specifies a testing method for determining the acceptance limits of surface discontinuities detected by penetrant testing, when such a testing procedure has been contractually agreed upon at the request of the purchaser.

This Standard applies to all steel castings, whatever casting process is used.

Note: It should be remembered that penetrant testing, like all methods of non-destructive testing, forms part of an overall or special assessment which is defined in the contract.
