PURPOSE,
To describe a nondestructive testing procedure that is capable
of determining the degree of interface bonding between Babbitt
alloy and the base metal of Babbitt linad bearings. This
Procedure uses the pulse echo method of ultrasonic testing.
2. SCORE
This test procedure, in conjunction with the test equipment used
by ABB, will provide accurate results for the entire range of
bearing types and sizes that may be encountered. Supplied
customer specifications always take precedence over generic
information written in ABB Procedures
3. PROCEDURE
ZQUIEMENT
3.1 Ultrasonic Analyzer ~ Epoch IIB Digital Ultrasonic
Flaw Detector. This is a pulse echo type analyzer
capable of utilizing both dual and single element
transducers. The transducers shall have a frequency
of 2.25 MHz and a diameter not greater than 1 inch.
3.2 Ultrasonic Couplant ~ Echogel, or a comparable brand,
couplant used will be of a suitable viscosity to allow
for consistent, accurate readings between the
transducer and the bearing surface being tested,AMERICAN BABBITT BEARING
ULTRASONIC TEST PROCEDURE
ABB QAP 110 REVISION 2 DATED 10/16/02

3.3. Reference Blocks - A steel block of varying thickness
will be babbitted with a portion of the babbitted area
to be bonded, and a portion to be un-bonded. These
two different araas will allow for accurate setting of
the sensitivity of the ultrasonic unit.
OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS
3.4
‘TESTING
All final ultrasonic testing will be performed by a
level If technician as qualified by procedure ABB QA?
120 which conforms to all requirements stated in ASNT-
TC-1A. All test results will be reviewed by the
Quality Assurance Manager, and all xesults will becom
part of the individuals quality records file
After the bearing has been machined to a 250 ox better
RMS finish, it shall be ultrasonically tested. Be
sure that the bearing is cold to the touch, Warm or
hot surfaces can give inaccurate results.
‘The ultrasonic test unit should have the sensitivity
sot to a test block that is comparable in Babbitt
thickness to the Babbitt thickness on the bearing
being tested. The test block should have bonded and
un-bonded areas.
Set the damping and roject controls to minimum.
Place the transducer on a bonded area, and set the
gain control to project an image similar to Figure 1
It may be necessary to adjust the damping control or
zeject control to eliminate noise at this point. The
echo at the bond line should be at 80% of screenAMERICAN BABBITT BEARING

3.8 (Cont’)height. Move the transducer to the un-bond
area and observe the difference on the display.
3.9 Move the transducer to the bearing to be tested and
locate an area to cbserve a back reflection
indication. It may be necassary to adjust the gain
control so that the initial bond line echo is 80% of
the screen height. Note: If the bearing is made of
cast iron, it may be disficult, if not impossible, to
get a back reflection.
3.10 Un-bonded areas will appear as shown in Figure II.
These areas will be determined Ey a comparison between
the bond line display given by the bearing and the
reference block. ‘The area directly under the
centerline of the transducer chall be the area under
evaluation
ACCEPTANCE STANDARD
3.11 Bearings with indications exceeding the following
criteria are not acceptable
3.11.1 Any single un-bonded area greater than 5% of
the total Babbitt surface
3.11.2 When applicable, the load area (bottom 1/3
of bearing), of horizontally installed
bearings having any single un-bonded area
greater than 5% of the total load area
3.11.3 Any un-bonded area within 0.500" of any
interface area or any high pressure oil lift
holes.AMERICAN BABBITT BEARING

requirements always supercede these.

arings that show no indications in excess of those
given in Section 3.11 shall be accepted.
3.13 Any bearings requiring re-babbitting shall be x

RECORDS
3,14 Final U.T. reports will become part of the permanent
job file and filed in the administrative offices.
3.15 The final U.T. report shall contain the manufacturar’s
identification number, purchaser's identification
number, testing technician's signature, date,
Angpaction procedure, test frequency, instrument, type
and size of transducer used, a map of all areas of un-
bond, and the location of repaired areas
3.16 A continuous loss of back zeflection greater than 50%
over any single area exceeding 1% to the babbitted
area shall be mapped and recorded. This will be done
only if the reason for loss of back reflection is
unknown. Such areas shall be included in the final
U.T. report subject to evaluation and approval of the

4. PROCEDURE
4.1 Liquid penetrant inspection for quality acceptance
shall be performed when the test iten is in a final
machined condition or otherwise completed condition.
4.2 the temperature of the test materials and the pazt to
be inspected shall, if possible, be maintained between
60 and 100°F. during the testing.
Surface Preparation
4.3 The areas to be examined, and any adjacent azea within
4 (ene inch) of the surface to be examined, shall be
free of rust, scale, slag, sand, welding flux, oily
films, or other oxtraneous materials.
Surfaces shall bo cleaned. No abrasive blasting or
shot peoning shall be permitted. The final cleaniag
before application of penetrant shall be performed by
wiping the surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth
moistened with the cleaner/remover solution. Finally,
wipe the surfaces with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth,
Allow the surfaca to dry for a minimum of five (5)
minutes prior to the application of the penetrant
selation,

4.4 Thoroughly coat the suzface to be tasted with penetrant
solution by spraying or brushing.

4.7 Shake the aerosol spray can of developer before use
Sproy a light, uniform coat ef developer on tha ousface
to be tested. Take care not to form pools of wet
developer of the test susface, because heavy costing of
developer can mask the dye color and give false
indications of test results.
4.8 Tt is good practice te observe the surface during the
epplication of the daveloper to detect the nature of
any indications which tend to bleed out profusely.
However, final intexpretation ghall be made a micimum
of ten (10) minutes and no later than thizty (30)
minutes after the developer is applied.
Ingpection and Evaluation
4,9 Inspection of test results shall be conducted under
white light illumination bright enough to easily
distinguish the red dye color and chazp lines
gistinguiching boundaries of surface cracks. However,
jocalized surface imperfections may occur fiom
machining marks or other surface conditions producing
indications which are not relevant to the detection of
unacceptable discontinuities.
4.10 Any indication in excess of the acceptance standards
which is believed to be irrelavant shall be regarded as
2 defect and shell be re-examined to verify wheches on
Rot actual defects are present. Surface conditioning
may precede the re~exanination.1 Seo: Seema mae
