NM01IQI02B

The ASTM E 747-97 SET 02-B (AL) Wire Type Penetrameter is a crucial tool for ensuring image quality in radiographic testing of aluminum materials. This penetrameter, also known as an Image Quality Indicator (IQI), is manufactured in accordance with the ASTM E 747-97 standard, specifically Set B, and is made from aluminum (AL).  

This wire-type IQI is designed to be placed on the test object during radiographic examination. The resulting radiograph will show the image of the wires, and the visibility of specific wires indicates the level of radiographic sensitivity achieved. This allows inspectors to verify that the radiographic technique used is capable of detecting flaws of a certain size.  

Set B of the ASTM E 747-97 standard contains a specific set of six aluminum wires with precisely controlled diameters. The 2-inch wire length ensures sufficient visibility in most radiographic setups. The entire set of wires is typically encapsulated in a durable, transparent material (often vinyl) for protection and ease of handling. The encapsulation may also include lead characters identifying the ASTM standard, material type (AL), and the wire set designation (B).  

Key Selling Points:

• Complies with ASTM E 747-97: Ensures adherence to a recognized industry standard for radiographic image quality.
