tape, measure the circumference at each of the three reference marks (A, B, and C) at the initial
pressure 0.7 bar and the specified test pressure. The % change in external diameter shall then
be calculated as: change in external diameter= (c1-co/co)x 100.
Twisting:
If twisting of the hose develops under pressure, the original lines forming the reference marks
will take up a helical pattern with the hose at the specified test pressure, project the straight line
in the length of the hose at the reference mark A until it intersects at c, the circular arc at
reference point C.
Then measure the length D of the circular arc CC to the nearest millimeter using the measuring
tape. The amount of twisting per meter, T expressed in radians will be T=Dx2¶/Co x Lo
Purpose: To measure the electrical continuity resistance of composite hose assemblies (ref.
std. BS5173: SECTION 104.2:1991)
General: In composite hose assemblies electrical continuity is provided between the end
fittings by means of continuous wire or wires bonded to each coupling. When the construction
of the hose is such that there are internal and external wires it is essential that the electrical
continuity of both wires be established the electrical continuity resistance should be less than
10
Purpose: To measure the suction resistance of composite hose assemblies (ref. std.
BS5173:SECTION 102.9:1992,ISO 7233:1991)
Test Piece: A minimum test length, clear of the end fittings, of five times the nominal bore or 1
meter, whichever is greater shall be used or the complete hose or hose assembly if less than 1
meter long.
Procedure: fit the transparent airtight plates to both ends of the hose, one of which is
connected to a suction pump and gauge. Reduce the internal pressure in the hose within
60seconds to the specified test pressure and maintain this pressure for the required period,
which shall not be less than 10 min.
Whilst the reduced pressure is being maintained, examine the interior of the hose through one
of the transparent plates by illumination applied through the other plate and also examine the
exterior of the hose, for signs of delamination, indentation or collapse.
Each hose assembly shall be capable of withstanding a vacuum of 0.9 bar gauge for 30 minutes
resultant damage (ref std:BS5842:1980).
Test equipment:
A hydrostatic pressure pump, a pressure gauge, a measuring tape.
Procedure : Bend the hose assembly as per the size of the hose up to the bend radius as
mentioned above. The hose assembly should be capable of being bent at the working pressure
to the radii as mentioned above without any resultant damage. The bend radius is measured to
the surface of the hose inside the bend.

Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe a chemical property chemicals. Mixing acids
and bases can cancel out or neutralize their extreme effects. A substance that is neither acidic
nor basic is neutral.
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A
pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.
The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more
acidic than the next higher value. For example, pH 4 is ten times more acidic than pH 5 and
100 times more acidic than pH 6. The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is
ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For
example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times more alkaline than pH 8.
Pure water is neutral. But when chemicals are mixed with water, the mixture can become either
acidic or basic. Examples of acidic substances are vinegar and lemon juice. Lye, milk of
magnesia, and ammonia are examples of basic substances.

PURPOSE: To conduct Radioactive contamination test on coils, wire & end fittings
Test equipment:
Rad check meter RC705B with external detector probe.
Which checks for radioactive contamination (photons /Gamma Radiation) in steel/alloys/ iron
samples / scrap metal, when the meter front face is kept close to sample (almost touching). It is
a handheld instrument suitable for scanning manually.
‘Unit’ of measurement
Normally the units used in these meters globally are Sv (sivert). In India we have been using R
(Roentgen). This meters have FOUR modes of operation nSv/hr, μR/hr, CPS, CPM.
In the Rad Check Meters we may find μR/hr (micro roentgen / hour) & nSv/hr (nono sivert
/Hour)
μ = micro = 10-6
n = nano = 10-9
m = milli = 10-3
Sv & R
TEST PROCEDURE
Minimum mass & size of the sample to check for RaC using Rad Check Meter
A) It is advised for one to take a sample of mass of sample, at least of three Kg (approx) or
more but not less. Also the size & shape of the component should be large enough to cover the
complete front face of the detector probe / meter, so that detector face is covered by the sample
when touched. Higher the mass, results of inspection will be more authentic.If product is small
in size & less in wt, then put a few of these components together such that mass & front face of
the meter covering criteria, is met. This is important.
B) First record the background (BG) ( Typically 3 to 5 Background readings, averaging should
be alright) & then go to acquire mode & record BG. Now touch the meter to the surface of the
component under inspection if the reading shown goes 10 to 20% lower than the BG reading,
then the sample can be declared as clean
(If the reading is very close to BG & marginally less or equal to BG it is a suspected
Contamination case).
A) Suspected contamination case is a situation, when the Rad Check Meter reading is very
Marginally lower or same as the BG. This happens if the contamination levels are very low of
the order of 0.1 to 0.4 Bq/g. Under this condition take larger mass of 3/4 kg or much more &
touch the meter if the reading goes higher then it a sure contaminated case. Also initially itself
when you touch the component / part if the reading goes higher than BG, even slightly more,
then it is a sure Contamination case. Reading need not be 2 times or 1.5 time BG. It can be
slightly higher than BG..
Note:-Non-Ferrous Metals, such as copper, aluminum, zinc, brass & non-metals such as
plastics, wood etc normally not can get Radioactive Contamination
Test equipment:
At the tracer probe test a spray gun is used to spray a fine jet of helium search gas at
areas suspected of leaking. Again the helium enters through leaks present at the
evacuated test object and the detector connected to it. The detector indicates if a leak is
present at the area the helium search gas is exposed to.
The tracer probe test can for example be used on seals, flange connections, weld seams
etc.
