ASTM E3213-19 will help manufacturers\nin the aerospace, power generation, and automotive industries further improve\nquality and safety, by evaluating component resonances before and after a\nmanufacturing or repair process, thereby quantifying material state changes to determine\nif that process was done correctly or consistently.&nbsp; The same approach can be taken to evaluate\ncomponents after a service cycle, to determine if parts are aging or changing\nin an expected manner.&nbsp; Comparing a part\nto itself allows for more sensitive inspection by avoiding population\nvariability.&nbsp; <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new standard, ASTM E3213-19 \u201cStandard Practice for Part-to-Itself\nExamination Using <a>Process Compensated Resonance Testing <\/a>(PCRT)\nVia Swept Sine Input for Metallic and Non-Metallic Parts\u201d, was developed and established\nthrough ASTM&#8217;s standards consensus principles by Nondestructive Testing\nCommittee E07. The standard was published on June 28, 2019 and can be found on\nASTM\u2019s website (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.astm.org\/Standards\/E3213.htm\">https:\/\/www.astm.org\/Standards\/E3213.htm<\/a>).&nbsp; ASTM International member\nEric&nbsp;Biedermann, Engineering Manager at Vibrant Corporation, said \u201cI\u2019m\ngrateful to the members of the E07.06 Subcommittee on Ultrasonics and the E07\nCommittee on Nondestructive Testing for their help in reviewing and publishing\nthis standard.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Biedermann, \u201cThe standard can be used both for parts undergoing\ncritical operations, either in manufacturing or repair, or to measure the\nchange parts have experienced while in service. This can help determine whether\nparts are still serviceable or must be scrapped.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new standard provides opportunities and\nadvantages for Vibrant customers. Vibrant Corporation, a leader in PCRT\ninspection and analytics, uses PCRT to test safety critical parts from airplanes,\ncars, and industrial gas turbines by vibrating the part and listening to how it\n\u2018rings.\u2019 Testing for defects before and after a manufacturing or a repair\nprocess, assures critical post-processing operations have the intended effect\non all parts and assures repair operations return parts to the as-new state.\nWith the new standard, process control is also improved. PCRT users can obtain\nreal-time feedback to measure changes and determine if that process was done\ncorrectly. For example, Vibrant and its customers are now using PCRT \u2018Part to\nItself\u2019 to test 3D Printed or Additively Manufactured (AM) parts at various\npoints in the production process. By monitoring the AM manufacturing processes\nand evaluating post processing impacts to parts, PCRT plays a key role in\nqualifying AM designs and processes, particularly for safety critical parts.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A brand-new ASTM International standard, requiring PCRT inspection before and after a process, can now be specified on component design drawings and maintenance manuals.
