Image Quality Indicator (IQI) Wire Type Penetrameters Accessories For X-Ray Flaw Detector

EN 462-1 wire type

EN 462-1 Wire Type were introduced as a EUROPEAN STANDARD to supersede the German Standards (DIN 54. 109)
and the British Standards Institute (BS3971:1980 type 1) Image Quality Indicators. Each indicator consists of a series
of seven parallel wires of different thickness mounted and encapsulated between two thin sheets of transparent, flexible
PVC. A lead monogram indicates the number of the thickest wire, the material and the EN symbol.

Wire Diameters:

Indicator Sizes:
There are four sizes of EN Image Quality Indicators.
Size 1- contains wire numbers 1 to 7 and used for material thicknesses in the range of 40 t 1 60mm
Size 6- contains wire numbers 6 to 12 and used for material thicknesses in the range of 12.5 to 50mm
Size 10一contains wire numbers 10 to 16 and used for material thicknesses in the range of 5 to 20mm
Size 13 - contains wire numbers 13 to 19 and used for material thicknesses in the range 2.5 to 1 0mm
AlI sizes are available in Steel(Fe), Aluminium(AI), and Stainless Steel(SS). Copper(Cu), Zirconium(ZR) Image
Quality Indicators are only available in sizes 6 and 10. Nickel(Ni) Image Quality Indicators are only available in
sizes6, 10 and 13.
As an ilustration the identification (i.e. lead monogram) for, say Size 10 (Wire numbers 10 to 16) in steel(Fe)
would be 10FE EN.

ASTM E747 wire type penetrameters
ASTM E747 Wire Type Penetrameters consists of a series of six parallel wires of different thicknesses,
encapsulated between two thin sheets of transparent, flexible PVC. Lead characters identify the thickness of
the thickest wire, and the material group(1-FE, 01-Ti, 02-AI, 03-Mg, 3-Ni, 4-Cu). The letters ASTM are also
included.
