Individual Penetrameters / IQI's - ASTM-E-1742

Individual Penetrameters / IQI's - ASTM-E-1742

Overview

Individual ASTM-E-1742 Penetrameters come in a full range of thicknesses, sizes and materials. Lead figures identify the thickness of the material to be radiographed on one end and the material of the IQI on the other end. Serialization and Calibration are available, as well as Encapsulation in clear, thin plastic and Wood Cases. Wood cases come in two sizes for encapsulated and non-encapsulated IQIs, and are engineered to prevent loss and damage by keeping IQI's firmly in place using a shock absorbing sponge rubber insert in the lid.

Penetrameter Sets are also available:

Mounting Blocks & Step Wedges

Mounting blocks are used when it is impractical to place the IQI directly on the object being radiographed. Standard mounting blocks are supplied in sizes corresponding with ASTM E-1742 IQI sizes. Their dimensions allow at least 1/8" clearance on three sides of the IQI.

Step wedges that are used for calibration and evaluation of techniques are also available. When an object with varying thicknesses is radiographed a step wedge of the same material, incorporating the same thickness, may often be advantageously used.

Purchasing Instructions

Individual IQI pricing is based on material and size. You must identify the Group Number for Material and Group Letter for Size Range based on the actual material and size you require.

Step 1: Material

Select Material Group that contains required IQI material 

Group Number Material
1 Aluminum (6061)
Steel (1018)
Stainless Steel (304)
2 Aluminum 2014, 2024, 2219, 7075

Step 2: Size

Select Size Group that contains required IQI size

  • The size specified should represent the thickness of the material to be radiographed.
  • The actual thickness of the IQI will be 2% of the size specified.
  • Per ASTM-E-1742, IQI's under .25" will be marked with the requested size but will have the same thickness and hole sizes as a .25" IQI. If true 2% thickness IQI's are required for sizes under .25”, see True 2% Penetrameters / IQI's - ASTM-E-1742

If you are unsure what size you require, see following guide:
