Surface Metal Gage Standards

5.1 General: 5.1.1 This guide is intended to support PBF-LB process and parameter development, part acceptance criteria, and process control tests. 5.1.2 Flaws and Defects-Fabricating fully dense parts continues to be a challenge in AM as the process intrinsically introduces volumetric flaws into a...

1.1 This practice covers a general procedure for using the Impulse Excitation Method (IEM) to facilitate natural frequency measurement and detection of defects and material variations in metallic and non-metallic parts. This test method is also known as Impulse Excitation Technique (IET), Acoustic...

1.1 This test method describes the use of ultrasonic film thickness gages to measure accurately and nondestructively the dry film thickness of organic coatings applied over a substrate of dissimilar material. Measurements may be made on field structures, on commercially manufactured...

1.1 This practice describes the use of magnetic and eddy current gages for dry film thickness measurement. This practice is intended to supplement the manufacturers' instructions for the manual operation of the gages and is not intended to replace them. It includes definitions of key...

1.1 This guide is intended as an information aid to painting inspectors in carrying out their task efficiently. It includes the key elements of surface preparation, coatings application, and final approval for both field and shop work. The items should be selected that are pertinent to the...

5.1 Real-time detection and assessment of cracks and other flaws in concrete structures is of great importance. A number of methods have been developed and standardized in recent decades for non-destructive evaluation of concrete structures as well as methods for in-place evaluation of concrete...

MPIF Standard 35 is issued to provide the design and materials engineer with the information necessary for specifying powder metal (PM) materials that have been developed by the PM parts manufacturing industry. This section of Standard 35 deals with products manufactured by Metal...
