1.1 This practice establishes the minimum requirements for computed tomography (CT) examination of components using cone beam systems. The purpose of this practice is to establish instruction, procedures, and equipment qualification to inspect a component for specified discontinuities. 1.2 This practice applies to systems with a Digital Detector Array (DDA) and an X-ray source. It does not cover the use of isotope sources. 1.3 There are sections in this practice that may require agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, or specific direction from the cognizant engineering organization (CEO). These items should be addressed in the purchase order or the contract. Generally, the items are application-specific, performance related, or both. 1.4 Applications for cone-beam CT are diverse. This practice is not intended to be limiting or restrictive. Refer to Guide E1441 for guidance on CT fundamentals and Guide E1672 for tradeoffs in selection of a CT system. 1.5Units-The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.6This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. NCRP 144 or NIST Handbook 114, or both, may be used as guides to ensure that radiographic procedures are performed so that personnel shall not receive a radiation dosage exceeding the maximum permitted by the city, state, or national codes.1.7This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
