本文件规定了用于以下类别无损超声检测的探头的特性，其中心频率在0.5 MHz至15 MHz范围内，聚焦或无聚焦方式: a） 产生纵波和/或横波的单传感器或双传感器接触探头； b） 单传感器浸入式探头。 如果本文件中规定了与材料相关的超声波值，则其基于纵波声速为（5920±50）m/s，横波声速为（3255±30）m/s的钢材。 本文件不包括探头的定期测试。ISO 22232-3中给出了使用现场程序验证探头的常规试验。 如果按照缔约方的约定，在探头的使用寿命期间，除ISO 22232-3中规定的参数外，还需对其他参数进行验证，则这些额外参数的验证程序可从本文件中给出的程序中选择。 本文件也不包括超声波相控阵探头，因此参见ISO 18563-2。

This document specifies the characteristics of probes used for non-destructive ultrasonic testing in the following categories with centre frequencies in the range of 0,5 MHz to 15 MHz, focusing or without focusing means: a) single- or dual-transducer contact probes generating longitudinal and/or transverse waves; b) single-transducer immersion probes. Where material-dependent ultrasonic values are specified in this document they are based on steels having a sound velocity of (5 920 ± 50) m/s for longitudinal waves, and (3 255 ± 30) m/s for transverse waves. This document excludes periodic tests for probes. Routine tests for the verification of probes using on-site procedures are given in ISO 22232-3. If parameters in addition to those specified in ISO 22232-3 are to be verified during the probe's life time, as agreed upon by the contracting parties, the procedures of verification for these additional parameters can be selected from those given in this document. This document also excludes ultrasonic phased array probes, therefore see ISO 18563-2.
