2.3 Tables and figures Separate tables for data expressed in SI units and USC units are given in Annex A and Annex C, respectively. For a specific order item, only one unit system shall be used. In this International Standard, cross-references are made only to the tables in Annex A; if the USC units apply on an order, then any cross-references to tables in Annex A shall be taken to mean the equivalent table in Annex C. Figures (data expressed in both SI and USC units) are contained in Annex B. 3 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

6.2 The applicability of methods and procedures contained in this International Standard in accordance with ISO 11960, ISO 11961 or API Spec 5D, or API Spec 5B is indicated in 11.2, 12.2, 13.2, 14.3, 15.2, 16.2, 17.2, 18.2, 19.2 and 20.2. Some procedures in this International Standard are beyond the scope of the inspection requirements of ISO 11960, ISO 11961 or API Spec 5D, and API Spec 5B. 7 Quality assurance 7.1 The agency performing field inspection shall have a quality programme consistent with the provisions of a recognized quality standard. The agency’s quality programme shall be documented and shall include written procedures for all inspections performed. 7.2 The agency’s quality programme shall include documented procedures for the calibration and verification of the accuracy of all measuring, testing and inspection equipment and materials. 7.3 The agency’s quality programme shall include records that verify inspection system capability for detecting the required reference indicators. In order to meet the requirements of ISO 11960, and ISO 11961 or API Spec 5D, the verification of inspection system capability shall address the following. a) Standardization and operating procedures: The standardization procedures will vary with the different types of equipment, but as a minimum the written procedures shall address the method for assuring coverage (minimum 100 % for longitudinal and transverse flaws), minimum notch response, and maximum signal-to-noise ratio. The written operating procedures shall provide the required steps, control settings and parameter limits, such as use of special electronic circuits, use of special detector array configurations (pig tails), and maximum velocities to be used. b) Equipment description: The equipment used to conduct the inspection shall be described in sufficient detail to demonstrate that it meets the requirements of ISO 11960, or ISO 11961 or API Spec 5D.
c) Personnel qualification: documentation of qualification of inspection personnel shall meet the requirements of Clause 8. d) Dynamic test data demonstrating the system capabilities for detecting the reference indicators: there are many methods of verifying system capability, two of which are as follows: 1) Inspection system capability is established by using statistical techniques for assessment of inspection performance. By establishing inspection system setup parameters and response amplitude of the applicable reference flaws, data points are established to determine the distribution of response amplitudes. These data then become the basis for establishing the capability of the inspection system. 2) Inspection system capability is demonstrated for each inspection order by use of a reference standard with the required reference notches. After the system is standardized according to the written procedures, the test standard is inspected at a number of positions to establish the reliability in all quadrants. e) Reports: reports shall include all system settings, strip charts (if applicable), traceability of calibration, standardization and setup procedure, and a map of the test standard. 7.4 The agency’s quality programme shall include provisions for the education, training and qualification of personnel performing inspections in accordance with this International Standard. 8 Qualification of inspection personnel 8.1 General This clause sets forth the minimum requirements for qualification and certification (where applicable) of personnel performing field inspection of OCTG.
