Toications with a maximum length of three times the width or less on the radiograph are defined as rounded indications. These indications may be circular, elliptical, conical, or irregular in shape and may have tails. When evaluating the size of an indication, the tal shall be included. The indication may be from any perfection in the weld, such as porosity, slag, or tungsten, ications. A sequence of four or more rounded indications shal be considered tobe aligned when they touch a line parallel to the length of the weld drawn through the center of the two outer rounded indications, (0) Thickness 1. tis the thickness of the weld, excluding any allowable reinforcement. For a butt weld joining two ‘members having different thicknesses at the weld, is the thinner of these two thicknesses. If a full penetration weld includes a fillet weld, the thickness of the throat of the fillet shall he includ: 43 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA (a) Image Density.

Final acceptance of radiographs shall be based on the bility to see the prescribed image quality indicator (penetrameter) and the specified hole or wire. 6.1.3.4 The finished surface of the weld reinforcement at the location of the radiograph shall either be fush with the plate or have a reasonably uniform crown not to exceed the following values: Maximum Thickness of | Plate Thickness Reinforcement ‘mm (m) mum (in) =BGiD 15¢ho > 13) 0250) 250!) >25() 304) 6.1.4 Submission of Radiographs Before any welds are repaired, the radiographs shall be submitted to the inspector with any information requested by the inspector regarding the radiographic technique used. 6.1.5 Radiographic Standards Welds examined by radiography shall be judged as accept- abe or unacceptable by the standards of Paragraph UW-51(b) in Sesion VI of the ASME Code 6.1.6 Determination of Limits of Defective Welding When a section of weld is shown by a radiograph to be ‘unacceptable under the provisions of 6.1.5 or the limits ofthe Adcficient welding are not defined by the radiograph, two spots adjacent to the section shall be examined by radiography; however, if the original radiograph shows at least 75 mm (3 in) of acceptable weld between the defect and any one edge of the film, an additional radiograph need not be taken of the vweld on that side of the defect. If the weld at either of the adjacent sections fils to comply with the requirements of 6.1.5, additional spots shall be examined until the limits of ‘unacceptable welding are determined, or the erector may replace all ofthe welding performed by the welder or welding ‘operator on that joint. I the welding is replaced, the inspector shall have the option of requiring that one radiograph be taken at any selected location on any other joint on which the ssame welder or welding operator has welded. If any of these ‘additional spots fail to comply with the requirements of 6.1.5, the limits of unacceptable welding shall be determined as specified for the initial section 6.1.7 Repair of Defective Welds 6.1.74 Defects in welds shall be repaired by chipping or molting out the defects from one side or both sides of the joint, as required, and rewelding.

Whenever required by this Chapter (S00 Table 1364), liquid pene- ‘rantexamination shal be performed inaccordance with the methods of Article 6, Section V, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. (A) Evaluation of Tdications (4.1) Mechanical discontinuities atthe surface will be indicated by bleeding out ofthe penetrant; however, localized surface imperfections, such as may oceur from machining marks or surface conditions, may produce similar indications which are nonrelevant to the detec tion of unacceptable discontinuities. (A2) Any indication that is believed to be nonrele- vant shal be regarded as a defect and shall be reexam- ‘ned to verify whether or not actual defects are present. Surface conditioning may precede the reexamination. Nonrelevant indications and broad areas of pigmenta- #on which would mask indications of defects are unac- ceptable. (A3) Relevant indieations are those which result Som mechanical discontinuities. Linear indications are ‘ose indications in which the length is more than three ‘Gmes the width. Rounded indications are indications {@) Apples when the outside surface is accessible for examination and/or when the inside surface is readily accessible. which are circular or elliptical with the length less than three times the width. (A) Anindication of discontinuity may be larger than the discontinuity that causes it; however, the size of the indication and not the size of the discontinuity is the basis af acceptance or rejection.

When conducted in accor dance with the requirements of this Code, the pressure testing of piping systems to ensure leak tightness shall bbe acceptable for the determination of any leaks in pip- ing subassemblies. 137.1.2 Temperature of Test Medium. ‘The tempera ture of the test medium shall be that of the available source unless otherwise specified by the Owner. The test pressure shall not be applied until the system and the pressurizing medium are approximately at the same temperature. When conducting pressure tests at low ‘metal temperatures, the possibility of britle fracture shall be considered. 137.1.3 Personnel Protection. Suitable precautions in the event of piping system rupture shall be taken to climinate hazards to personnel in the proximity of ines being tested. 137.14 Maximum Stress During Test.
