Undereutting adjacent to the cover pass (EU) or root pass (IU) shall be considered a defect should any of the following conditions exists: ‘The aggregate lengih of indications of EU and IU, in any combination, in any cor ram (12-in.) length of weld exceeds 50 mm (2 in.). ‘The aggregate length of indications of EU and 1U, weld length. invous 300 any combi , exceeds one-sixth of the Accumulation of Imperfections luding incomplete peneiration due to high-low and undercutting, any accumulation of imperfections (Al) shall be considered a defect should any of the following conditions exist: a.

(1) Elongated disconlinuilies exceeding the maximum size of Figure below. (2) Olscontinuities closer than the minimum clearance alowance of Figure below. (3) Rounded discontinuities greater than a maximum of size of E/3, not to exceed 6 mm (1/4 in.). However, when the thickness is greater then 0 mm (2 in.), the maximum rounded indication may be 10 mm (3/8 in.). The minimum clearance of this type of discontinuity greater than or equal to 2.5 mm (3/32 in.) to an acceptable elongated or rounded discontinuity or to an edge or end of an intersecting weld shall be three times the greatest dimension of the larger of the discontinuities being considered. (4) Isolated discontinuities such as a cluster of rounded indications, having a sum of their greatest dimensions exceeding the maximum size single discontinuity allowed in Figure 6.1. The minimum clearance to another cluster or an elongated or rounded discontinuity or to an edge or end of an intersecting weld shall be three times the greatest dimension of the larger of the discontinuities being considered. (6) The sum of individual discontinuities each having a greater dimension of less than 2.5 mm (3/32 in.) shall not exceed 2E/3 or 10 mm (3/6 in), whichever is less, in any linear 25 mm (1 in.) of weld. This requirement is independent of (1), (2), and (3) above. (6) In-iine discontinuities, where the sum of the greatest dimensions exceeds E in any length of 6E, When the length of the weld being examined is tess than 6E, the allowable sum of the greatest dimensions shall be proportionally less. Figure 6.2 and Figure 6.3 illustrate the application of the requirements given.
