This document specifies methods for the identification and assessment of hazardous situations leading to explosion and the design and construction measures appropriate for the required safety. This is achieved by: — risk assessment; — risk reduction. The safety of equipment, protective systems and components can be achieved by eliminating hazards and/or limiting the risk, i.e. by steps (figure below from ISO EN 12100): a) appropriate design (without using safeguarding) – Step 1; b) safeguarding – Step 2; c) information for use – Step 3; d) any other preventive measures. In this standard the measures in accordance with a) (prevention) and b) (protection) against explosions are dealt with in Clause 6. The measures according to c) against explosions are dealt with in Clause 7. Measures in accordance with d) are not specified in this standard. Refer to EN ISO 12100:2010 for complementary preventive and protective measures Inherently safe design measures are the first and most important step in the risk reduction process. This is because protective measures inherent to the characteristics of the product or system are likely to remain effective, whereas experience has shown that even well-designed guards and protective devices can fail or be violated, and information for use might not be followed. Guards and protective devices shall be used whenever an inherently safe design measure does not reasonably make it possible either to remove hazards or to sufficiently reduce risks. Complementary protective measures involving additional equipment (e.g. emergency stop equipment) might have to be implemented. The end user has a role to play in the risk reduction procedure by complying with the information provided by the designer/supplier. However, information for use shall not be a substitute for the correct application of inherently safe design measures, guards or complementary protective measures. The preventive and protective measures described in this document will not provide the required level of safety unless the equipment, protective systems and components are operated within their intended use and are installed and maintained according to the relevant codes of practice or requirements. This document specifies general design and construction methods to help designers and manufacturers in achieving explosion safety in the design of equipment, protective systems and components. This document is applicable to any equipment, protective systems and components intended to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, under atmospheric conditions. These atmospheres can arise from flammable/combustible substances processed, used or released by the equipment, protective systems and components or from materials in the vicinity of the equipment, protective systems and components and/or from the materials of construction of the equipment, protective systems and components. This document is applicable to equipment, protective systems and components at all stages of its use. This document is only applicable to equipment group II which is intended for use in other places than underground parts of mines and those parts of surface installations of such mines endangered by firedamp and/or combustible dust.

This document specifies the characteristics of hexagon socket countersunk head screws with reduced loadability due to head design, in steel and stainless steel, with metric coarse pitch threads M2 to M20, and with product grade A. NOTE 1 Other dimensional options are given in ISO 888, ISO 965-1 and ISO 4753. NOTE 2 The reduced loadability (related to the countersunk head dimensions in combination with penetration of the hexagon socket specified in this document) implies a limitation of ultimate tensile load; see Table 5. NOTE 3 Particular attention is needed to ensure alignment of the countersunk head with the bearing surface of the countersink in the assembly.

This document specifies methods for the examination of surface condition (roughness and surface discontinuities) of castings. This document is applicable to all cast metals and all casting processes except die casting.

 

This document gives specific procedures for industrial X-ray and gamma radiography for discontinuity detection purposes, using NDT (non-destructive testing) film techniques. This part of the EN 12681 series specifies the requirements for film radiographic testing of castings. Films after exposure and processing become radiographs with different area of optical density. Radiographs are viewed and evaluated using industrial radiographic illuminators. This part of the EN 12681 series specifies the recommended procedure for the choice of operating conditions and radiographic practice. These procedures are applicable to castings produced by any casting process, especially for steel, cast iron, aluminium, cobalt, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, zinc and any alloys of them. NOTE This document considers EN ISO 5579. This document does not apply to: - radiographic testing of castings for aerospace applications (see EN 2002-21); - radiographic testing of welded joints (see EN ISO 17636-1); - radiography with digital detectors (see EN 12681-2); - radioscopic testing (see the EN 13068 series).

 

This document gives specific procedures for industrial X-ray and gamma radiography for discontinuity detection purposes, using NDT (non-destructive testing) digital X-ray image detectors. This part of the EN 12681 series specifies the requirements for digital radiographic testing by either computed radiography (CR) or radiography with digital detector arrays (DDA) of castings. Digital detectors provide a digital grey value image which can be viewed and evaluated using a computer. NOTE This part of the EN 12681 series complies with EN 14784-2 for CR. Some clauses and annexes are taken from EN ISO 17636 2. This part of the EN 12681 series specifies the recommended procedure for detector selection and radiographic practice. Selection of computer, software, monitor, printer and viewing conditions are important but are not the main focus of this document. The procedure specified in this document provides the minimum requirements for radiographic practice which permit exposure and acquisition of digital images with equivalent sensitivity for detection of imperfections as film radiography, as specified in EN 12681 1. This document does not consider radiographic or radioscopic fitness for purpose testing as applied for specific castings based on manufacturer’s internal requirements and procedures. The requirements on image quality in testing class A and B testing of Annex A consider the good workmanship quality for general casting applications as also required in EN 12681 1 for film radiography. The testing classes AA and BA reflect the quality requirements of current automated and semi-automated radiographic testing systems with DDAs and computer- or operator-based image evaluation, and mini- or micro-focus tubes (spot size = 1 mm) with reduced requirements to the unsharpness, but unchanged requirements to contrast sensitivity as also required in EN 12681 1 for film radiography. The specified procedures are applicable to castings produced by any casting process, especially for steels, cast irons, aluminium, cobalt, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, zinc and any alloys of them. This document does not apply to: - the testing of welded joints (see EN ISO 17636 2); - film radiography (see EN 12681 1); - real time testing with radioscopy (see EN 13068 1; radioscopy with image intensifiers).
