What is BS EN 17119 about?
BS EN 17119 is a European Standard that species the procedures for non-destructive testing (NDT) using active thermography. These testing procedures can be applied to different materials (e.g. composites, metals, and coatings) and are appointed, but not limited to the:
- Detection of discontinuities (e.g. voids, cracks, inclusions, delaminations)
- Determination of layer or part thicknesses
- Determination and comparison of thermophysical properties
BS EN 17119 describes data collecting and analysis concepts for active thermography and provides an informative guideline for suitable excitation source selection. BS EN 17119 does not provide acceptance criteria.
Who is BS EN 17119 for?
BS EN 17119 on non-destructive testing by metal magnetic memory is applicable to:
- Construction, automotive, mechanical Industries
- Power plant parts Manufacturers
- Joining technology
- Electronic devices Manufacturers
- Power plants
- Civil engineering
- Manufacturers of aircraft & aerospace
- Non-destructive testing laboratories
- Quality control professionals
Why should you use BS EN 17119?
Non-destructive testing of components, materials, or systems using imaging of temperature fields, gradients, and/or patterns ("thermograms") at the object's surface is referred to as thermographic testing.
Guidelines in BS EN 17119 provide you with the procedures for non-destructive testing using active thermography Which will help you standardize thermographic Non-Destructive Testing of various products.
Optimize performance and efficiency of non-destructive testing operations by adopting overall requirements for thermographic testing with BS EN 17119.
The BS EN 17119 standards will assist you in establishing the thermographic testing in accordance with standard industry guidelines,
Following the guidance in BS EN 17119 for thermographic non-destructive testing, you will be able to identify various mechanical defects which further help you to manufacture high-quality products.
