To our valued customers,

It is time: 

Beuth Verlag will become DIN Media. 

You can find out more about our new name and the reasons behind it here.

As we are working hard on this, we are unfortunately unable to process any orders at present due to technical reasons. Our webshop will be available again from Monday at 8 a.m.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Beuth Verlag

ASTM Reference Radiographs

The ASTM Reference Radiographs (Comparison series for radiographic images) contain compilations of radiographic images that show various severity levels of discontinuities that can occur in castings and welded joints.

Describing discontinuities in castings, e.g. porosity or shrinkage cavities, is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Gas pores in welded joints or in aluminium and magnesium castings are additional examples of discontinuities that are poorly suited for written descriptions.

Discontinuities can be easily evaluated by comparing them with radiographic images portraying similar types of discontinuities.

There are four to eight levels of severity for every type of discontinuity, with level 1 being the best. The discontinuities shown in the images include gas holes, microshrinkage, inclusions, incomplete melt and porosity.

The ASTM Reference Radiographs are recognized worldwide and their application is mandatory for product acceptance in numerous civil and military material specifications.

The radiographic images can be used in their entirety, or a specific selection of images and levels of severity can be chosen based upon the intended use of the final product to be evaluated.

The use of radiographic images allows the experts to determine the type of discontinuity and complete the product acceptance process quickly and accurately. The experts have a visual image in their hand rather than a table or a diagram for comparison and don’t have to carry out extensive size and distance measurements.

The ASTM Reference Radiographs allow designers, manufacturers and testing experts to “speak the same language”.

Previously only available as film reference radiographs (ASTM E0155) these images are now available in a digitized format. Standard Digital Reference Images for Magnesium Castings includes two DVDs which contain the data and software to build digital reference images for fourteen discontinuity thickness combinations, in a range of resolutions comparable to pixel sizes of 10 microns to 400 microns. The resulting digital reference images illustrate the types and degrees of discontinuities that may be found in magnesium castings. The castings illustrated are in thicknesses of 1/4 in. (6.35mm) and 3/4 in. (19.1 mm). A copy of the current ASTM standard is included with the purchase of these reference radiographs. The images may be installed as 16-bit TIFF files or as DICONDE files and may be installed for negative or positive image polarity. The images may be installed at resolutions to match the effective resolution of various digital detectors in increments of 10 microns.

Standard Digital Reference Images for Inspection of Aluminum and Magnesium Die Castings includes one DVD which contains the data and software to build digital reference images for nine images containing radiographs covering discontinuities in aluminum and magnesium alloy die-castings comparable to pixel sizes of 10 microns to 400 microns. Four of the images contain a set of four graded levels of increasing severity in aluminum and four of the images contain a set of four graded levels of increasing severity in magnesium, while the last image contains two ungraded radiographs illustrating foreign material inclusions in both aluminum and magnesium. **For Reference Radiographs in ring binder see ASTM RRE0505**

Reference Radiographs are nondestructive testing standards universally accepted because of their high reliability in accept-reject actions. A copy of the current ASTM standard is included with the purchase of these reference radiographs. RRE015501 - (Volume I): The set of reference radiographs consists of 13 plates covering discontinuities in aluminum-alloy castings and 10 plates covering discontinuities in magnesium-alloy castings. Each plate is held in an 8-1/2 by 11-in. ( 216 by 279-mm) cardboard frame and each plate illustrates eight grades of severity for the discontinuity in approximately a 2 by 2-in. ( 51 by 51-mm) area. The cardboard frames are contained in a 10-1/2 by 11-1/2 in. ( 267 by 292-mm) ring binder. The castings illustrated are in thicknesses of 1/4 in. ( 6.35 mm) and 3/4 in. ( 19.1 mm).
