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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Optional IQI Serialization, Calibration, and Encapsulation

IQI’s may be purchased with or without serialization, calibration, and encapsulation. Add these additional options to your order if required. Quantity should match number of IQI’s the option applies to.

Serialization Only: PN: RT-RC-P-Serialize

Serialization & Calibration: PN: RT-RC-P-Serialize-Cal

Encapsulation: PN: RT-RC-P-Encapsulate
 Step 4
Add Items to Cart
Select your desired material from the top dropdown item, and your item range in the Pricing Section. Input the number of desired IQIs to the right of the dropdown menu. If the IQIs are to be serialized and/ or calibrated, the number of desired IQIs should match the serialization / calibration option. (I.e., if ordering 3 IQIs that need serialization, input '3' in the 'Individual IQI, Serialize' quantity field)
 Step 5
Checking Out
During checkout, list Individual sizes in the 'Other Comments' field under 'Shipping
